Post DB Tools - Problem in DB Job Expert Reply with quote

Hi,

I found an annoying thing using the DB job expert. While creating
a job I choosed the option "Repeat weekly on the following days of week:", checking
"Mon", because I want to run the job every monday. After creating the job I looked at
the intervall of the job (using the view dba_jobs). The intervall says:
"trunc(next_day(SYSDATE, 'DIENSTAG')) + 1/86400*900" ('DIENSTAG' = 'TUESDAY' ;-) ), so the
job wil be executed every tuesday (at 00:15 am), not at monday as I wanted.
Looks like a bug.

Yes, this looks like a bug, it doesn't take into account first day of week.

In other words, the issue here is the first day of week. In North America the first day is Sunday, in Europe it is Monday. In order to build the required expression for job frequency, DB Job internally converts checked days into day names using their hard-coded day numbers. That's is why in your case "Mon" becomes DIENSTAG. If you click "Sun" box you are going to get name for Monday as it is in German.
