RE: RE: How to find out what caused job to fail?
Eh? Laugh out loud - in silence? Bit of an oxymoron? Yea yea I know - complicated words on a Monday morning! So shoot me! ;P http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=oxymoron Mark (mournful optimist) Leith P.S Obligatory Oracle thread: http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=Oracle The answer of a god, or some person reputed to be a god, to an inquiry respecting some affair or future event, as the success of an enterprise or battle.

RE: RE: How to find out what caused job to fail?
LOL
Roland, The alert log will usually be stored in your background_dump_dest as
specified in your init.ora file:
background_dump_dest = C:\oracle\admin\SALES\bdump <- on an Win2K system.
You use this by opening and reading through it (usually from the end, as
this is where the most up to date info is (tail)). You really should be
"monitoring" (either as above or with a tool) the alert log every day in
case any errors occur. To give you and example:
from my alert log
Mon Feb 04 08:55:04 2002
Errors in file C:\oracle\admin\SALES\udump\ORA01168.TRC:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4032 bytes of shared memory ("shared
pool","java/lang/StringSYS","joxlod: in ehe","ioc_allocate_pal")
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JAVA", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 2
--
You see above that the trace file is fully qualified within the error text.
If not, then trace files will usually be generated within the udump
directory, or in the bdump directory for Oracle process trace files.
Break out the docs (Concepts manual) on the Alert log, there is a lot more
in there than just trace file generation logging. The alert log also catches
shutdown/startup, redo switches, automatic recovery info, tablespace
management (create / drop etc.), and catches errors such as the infamous
ORA-600.
This is one of the basic things that you should already know about managing
an Oracle system - one of the quickest ways to see if anything has gone
wrong with your system..

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,
