dbms_job [message #295827]

Hello, I have a question about dbms job. What happens if I have a scheduled dbms_job that runs every two hours and the database is shutdown (abort)? Once the database is up, will the job start up on its own or do I have to reschedule it? If it does not start up, then what do I need to do in the future in order for it to start up? Manually start it every time?

p.s. oracle version 9.2.0.1.0

also, is there a way to get notified if a dbms_job fails to run?

If I say it will start, then do you trust me or not?
Why don't you try?

Notified? No but you can know it either have a look at alert.log or dba_jobs view.

Well, that's the thing. I dont know if it is normal, but the job did not start. It shows that it's not broken, but it defenatelly did not start. So, I guess I am trying to figure out what if it is a "normal" Oracle behavior (i.e. if Oracle database is shutdown in an abnormal fashion then your dbms_job will not start by itself) or if there is something wrong with a job itself.

thank you for alert logs idea...
