Delete a running job [message #62105]

Dear all,

Got a problem with deleting a running job.

I've nearly tried everything:

�� - Exec DBMS_JOB.REMOVE(JOB#) gives the error: ORA-23421 Job number xx is not a job in the job queue. I cannot understand because I see the job in tables DBA.JOBS and DBA.JOBS_RUNNING.

�� - Tried also Exec DBMS_JOB.BROKEN(JOB#, true) without success.

��- Tried ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0, this command didn't give any error but the JOB still exists.

�� - Tried to kill the thread through Orakill but I could not identify the process, didn't find any match when using:��Select s.sid, p.spid from v$session s, v$process p where s.paddr=p.addr and s.sid=<sid>; (sid identified from DBA.JOBS.RUNNING).

Note: I'm using Oracle8.1.7 and INTS.

Any help will be appreciated.

�Thanks.

Nadia azri

You can use:

dbms_job.broken(<id>,TRUE)

However this won't stop a job that's already running - it will only prevent it from starting. To stop a running job, corresponding session should be killed, which is not that trivial to do - you gotta locate the session in v$session and then alter system kill session '<v$session.sid> <v$session.serial#>' immediate (of course, <v$session.xxx> should be replaced with actual values for these
columns).

The most tricky part here is locating the session for the running job. Of course, job status must be also set to broken before killing its session, because Oracle will start new SNP process to replace killed one and this process will immediately pick up the job again since it was interrupted. And note that
if you set broken flag while job is running, and it then completes successfully, broken flag will be reset, so you really really need to kill running job before you set its broken flag.

Hope that helps,

You can't stop it unless you kill the process that is currently executing it.

It is an Oracle job, you can't get the process id like that.
dba_jos_running gives you the sid, there you get the process id.

Hello nayana,

Issue:

Hello nayana,

Did you realize that after you issuing "alter system kill session.." command... when you run "select..." you get new sid/serial# ?

Did you pay attention on:

Hi,

Still running! Razz

Razz

I used dbms_job every 10 seconds. To stop that job used

 dbms_job.broken(jobno,TRUE);

Immediately used the following command.

dbms_job.remove(jobno);

After "alter system kill session.." command... when I run

SELECT SID, SERIAL#, STATUS
  FROM V$SESSION
  WHERE USERNAME = 'NAYANA';

I will get new sid/serial# .

Now am not able to identify the jobno because its removed. I tried kill & all commands as you mentioned but still job is running. Every every 10 seconds i will get a new mail. I want to stop this...how?

Nayana

Just for the record...

The operating system process for job queue is ora_jxxx ...where xxx is a consecutive number. When issued the scheduler disable it should go away.
