Hello,

Can someone please help me out here:

I'm using Oracle10g release 1 on windowsXP

I'm trying to create a backup job with dbms_scheduler and it's not working.
This is what I did:

I created a job as follows:

BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
job_name => 'RMAN_FULL',
job_type => 'EXCUTABLE',
job_action => 'E:\wkdir\rman_bkp',
enabled => TRUE,
start_date => '24-NOV-2007 2:10:00 PM',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=WEEKLY',
comments => 'Full Database Backup');
END;
/


While rman_bkp is an RMAN command but it wasn't working.
Please where do I get it wrong?

Kindly put me through the EXECUTABLE or should I use PL/SQL_BLOCK and how?

Thanks.


Regards,

Cherish

"rman_bkp" is not an executable in Windows.

The extension of the file rman_bkp is .sql and later tries .txt but both
ain't working.

Below is the error message I got:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line ORA-06550: line 1, column 357:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ":" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ;, column :
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 148
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 374
ORA-06512: at line 2


Thanks

Neither are executable for Windows.
Executables for Windows are .exe, .bat, .cmd... not .sql or .txt
