Question:
I am receiving the following error in my Alert log. But my job is not broken and
there are no failures. Any idea what is going on and how I can resolve this?
ORA-12012: error on auto execute
of job 62
ORA-12005: may not schedule automatic refresh for times in the past
dbms_refresh.refresh('"AAI"."A_REST"');
Broken = N
Failure = 0
Interval = trunc(sysdate)+23/24
Last Date =10/21/2005 12:02:15 AM
Next Date =10/21/2005 11:00:00 PM
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 62
ORA-12005: may not schedule automatic refresh for times in the past
How do I
find out the cause of this ORA-12012 error and the accompanying ORA-12005 error?
Answer:
ORA-12012 error is a generic error and you need to look closer
to find the real error code that indicates why the job failed. To diagnose any
error, you start by using the
oerr utility to display the ORA-12012 error:
ORA-12012: Error on
Auto Execute of Job
Cause:
An error was caught while doing an automatic execution of a job.
Action:
Look at the accompanying errors for details on why the execute failed.
As is indicated by the utility, the required action is to look at the
accompanying errors for details on why the execute failed. In this case,
the accompanying error is:
ORA-12005: may not schedule automatic refresh for
times in the past.
This means that there's
something wrong with the part of your code dealing with the automatic refresh,
specifically the interval. Your interval is set as
follows:
interval = trunc(sysdate)+23/24
The code you have written sets an interval where Oracle is trying to run
the job at a time in the past, which it simply cannot do. So, change your
interval to this:
interval =
trunc(sysdate+1)+23/24
And your Oracle job will run smooth as silk!
An ORA-12012 error should come with an accompanying error that will basically
tell you what you did wrong. Fix that, and assuming there are no other
problems, your job should run just fine.
******************************
The BC Oracle forum has more details on this
ORA-12012 job execution error.
One problem with the ORA 12012 error is that you have the job number
but not the job name.
The following SQL will display the dbms_scheduler job name for
any giver job number (passed as &myjobnum):
select
d.job_name,
d.job_action
from
dba_scheduler_jobs d,
sys.scheduler$_job s
where
d.job_action = s.program_action
and
s.obj# = &myjobnum;
