i create auto_conn.fmb file that contains
a push button called start

i also create a set of procedures which are well executed
these procedures' are:

p99_1_Exp_Metar_ClimData_Item1;
p99_2_Exp_Metar_ClimData_Item2;
p99_3_Exp_Metar_ClimData_Item3;

my question :
i need to write a trigger when button pressed under the start button so as these mentioned procedures will be executed automatically each 15 minute (one quarter hour) for 2 years.

any help i appreciate it .
thank you

See DBMS_SCHEDULER. Pay attention to CREATE_JOB procedure and its REPEAT_INTERVAL and END_DATE parameters.

first thank you Mr
i appreciate you help

about the DBMS_SCHEDULER it did not go with Oracle9i Enterprise edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 that i am using, instead i use DBMS_JOB.


when button pressed (start) i write the following block
DECLARE
start_app_auto NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(start_app_auto,'p99_9_strat_my_app_man',Current_TimeStamp,'current_timestamp + 3/1440');
-- this job to get the procedure "p99_9_strat_my_app_man" executing each 3 minutes
-- also i would like to declare that, through the mentioned procedure there are 3 other procedures that have been called.
END;

i am getting the following error:
FRM: 40735 - WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06550.

can you help me to solve this problem
thank you again for your support;

ORA-06550 indicates a PL/SQL compilation error, which is here:
DECLARE
   start_app_auto   NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (start_app_auto,
                    'p99_9_strat_my_app_man;',        --> you miss a semi-colon
                    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
                    'current_timestamp + 3/1440');
END;

again thank you for your reply

i try this still the same error, but i confused about the date forma that may be the cause of the error;

first :
from isql plus I execute the following query:

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-MON-YY hh24:mi:ss';
select Current_TimeStamp from dual;
resp := 04-MAR-14 12.14.30.062000 PM -08:00

select current_timestamp + 3/1440 from dual;
resp := 04-MAR-14 12.17.30
commit;

after this:
i went back to my form and modify the trigger when button pressed (start) to be sure about the date forma used in the form

DECLARE
start_app_auto NUMBER := 0;
date_time_start1 TIMESTAMP ;
date_time_start2 TIMESTAMP ;

str_date1 varchar2(100);
str_date2 varchar2(100);
mnt_ch varchar2 (10);

BEGIN
--ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-MON-YY hh24:mi:ss';

select to_char(Current_TimeStamp)
INTO str_date1
from dual;
p05_show_alert_message(str_date1 ); -- 04-MAR-14 12.14.30.062000 PM -08:00

select to_char(current_timestamp + 1/1440)
INTO str_date2
from dual;
p05_show_alert_message(str_date2 ); -- 04-MAR-14

DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (start_app_auto, 'p99_9_strat_my_app_man;', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'current_timestamp + 3/1440');

END;

when i run form and click on the start button. i saw
p05_show_alert_message(str_date1 ); -- 04-MAR-14 12.14.30.062000 PM -08:00
p05_show_alert_message(str_date2 ) -- 04-MAR-14

May the error occur because the two date variable(str_date1, str_date2 ) are in different forma?? if yes how can modify the format of the date through my form ??
thank you.

I don't think that format makes any difference; it is here just to make us, humans, read those values (Oracle doesn't store them in any recognizable format anyway).

What happens if you create a stored procedure as
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_submit_p99_job AS
   start_app_auto   NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (start_app_auto,
                    'p99_9_strat_my_app_man;',
                    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
                    'current_timestamp + 3/1440');
   COMMIT;
END;
and then call that procedure from the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
begin
  p_submit_p99_job;
end;


Check the result by
select * from user_jobs;

Dates (and timestamps) are not stored in any format.
Read this: http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/category/nls_date_format/

Then think about the following:
There's a session parameter called nls_timestamp_format.
Oracle can't add numbers to timestamps only dates. So if you add a number to a timestamp oracle will automatically convert it to a date first.
To add times to timestamps you need to use intervals.

Did you run that procedure (from SQL*Plus or - as you planned to - from a form)? Until you do that, no job is created. Also, don't forget to include COMMIT in there (check procedure's code I posted).

The procedure is erroring out and you're expecting it to have created the job?
why would you think that?

I don't think there in an error in the procedure P99_9_STRAT_MY_APP_MAN because I try it under other button strat_Man
Declare
..
Begin
...
P99_9_STRAT_MY_APP_MAN
..
End;

it is well executed without error and with true result.

"PLS-00201: identifier 'P99_9_STRAT_MY_APP_MAN' must be declared " says that user you are connected to doesn't see that procedure (P99_9_STRAT_MY_APP_MAN). Are you connected to the same user in SQL*Plus and Forms? Who owns P99_9_STRAT_MY_APP_MAN?

Yes; stored procedure can't see a procedure that exists in a orm. I (wrongly) presumed that P99_9_STRAT_MY_APP_MAN is a stored procedure.

but in this case i never can use dbms_job to run procedure in schedule time
because the mentioned procedure call many procedures which in turn call many procedures...

in addition all these procedures use a block item in the form, that mean
if i try to recreate all these procedure in
my database using oracle enterprise manage or isqlplus then the compiler always load error message each time an instruction in a procedure use block or item specified in my form call_web.fmb??

is there any solution for this case?? really i appreciate any suggestions you gave me
thank you a lot Mr

Well, in that case it is probably better to forget about stored procedure option and return back to the beginning.

You said that this code:
DECLARE
   start_app_auto   NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
   DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (start_app_auto,
                    'p99_9_strat_my_app_man;',
                    CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
                    'current_timestamp + 3/1440');

   COMMIT;
END;
in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger returned the "same error". Can you confirm that? Compare your current code with the one I just posted and try to run the form again. What error exactly do you get using this code in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger?

Because he said Quote:

... so as these mentioned procedures will be executed automatically each 15 minute (one quarter hour) for 2 years.

I thought that scheduler is the right way to do that.

Only if the OP completely rewrites all his code so that it's in the DB rather than in forms, which he doesn't seem to what to do.
Admittedly I'm struggling to think of a case where scheduling forms code to run every 15 mins would be at all useful, hence my question to the OP.

@meteo - Forms is a tool for creating GUI screens to allow users to interact with a DB.
Processes that need to run every 15 mins, in 99.9% of cases, involve no user interaction.
If your process involves no user interaction then you should rewrite it as a set of stored procedures in the DB that have no references to any forms datablocks/items/builtins and run that from dbms_job (or dbms_scheduler)
If your process does involve user interaction then you need to explain exactly what it does before we can help you further.

END IF;
END LOOP;

-- commit;

go_block('METARS');

many other procedures like this one ??? it is impossible to create them in the database


[EDITED by LF: removed superfluous empty lines; planned to include [code] tags but they made it look ever worse. Went to format it, but it has syntax errors which made formatting fail]

So the procedure appears to be checking data in a datablock and then inserting it into a table.
So how does data get into the datablock in the first place?

Dbms_job will never work for calling forms procedures, so ignore that for now.

So the purpose here is to read data from a spreadsheet and load it into the DB?
Is there supposed to be any user interaction in this process?

no there is additional steps before inserted reading data from excel file into the database
for example
there is procedure PROCEDURE p77_import_metars_to_block -- read data from exel to my form
after which fragment metars into many element in the block (procedure p73_fragment_metarwhich
finally insert data into tha database (p95_Ins_blk_mtr_tab_mtr)


all these procedure use block item ....

OK so it's a complicated procedure that reads data from a spreadsheet(s) and loads it into the DB.
Again - Is there supposed to be any user interaction in this process?

yes, many friends in my job and me, are interested in the weather observation so we need all meteorologically metars message, hourly for many cities, so we use these information in weather subject. manually i achieved it, via 'p99_9_strat_my_app_man', that collect data each time i execute it.

but its butter to make it automatically because if 18 hour passe without executing the mentioned procedure there is missing in the metar messages.

anyway if there is any suggestion about this issue, i will be very grateful for you if you contact me at:

abdmet74@gmail.com

As far as I understood, you get Excel files which contain meteorological data. Then you load that into a form which, finally, inserts data into a table.

How do you get Excel files? Are they result of some Internet pages that are available to public? For example, something like this? If that's so, I'd suggest you to abandon this rather complex way of gathering information and switch to something different: utilize UTL_HTTP package.

Oracle

The UTL_HTTP package makes Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) callouts from SQL and PL/SQL. You can use it to access data on the Internet over HTTP.


It enables you to create a stored procedure which actually reads data from web pages; you can easily schedule it to run as often as you wish.
