One of the reason a failed job leaves us clueless is failure of coding the right way. If you have a failure, you must capture enough information about the failure and dump it somewhere so that you can go back and make use of the dumped information to debug the problem.

I'd say, that will be a good start.

Hi!
Is there a way to find out, why a database job failed? in dba_jobs (or user_jobs), I can only see that it failed, but no indication of the reason why it failed. Any ideas?
This is 8.1.7 on Solaris.
Thanks,
Helmut
