Using Both DBMS_JOB and Oracle Scheduler

DBMS_JOB and Oracle Scheduler (the Scheduler) use the same job coordinator to start job queue processes. (For the Scheduler, these processes are called job slave processes. This section uses these terms interchangeably.) Although you typically use the JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES initialization parameter to limit the number job queue processes for DBMS_JOB and you use the Scheduler attribute max_job_slave_processes to limit the number of job slave processes for the Scheduler, the Scheduler is affected by the JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES parameter.

The maximum number of job slave processes for Scheduler is determined by the lesser of the values of JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES and max_job_slave_processes. For example:

If JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES is 0, DBMS_JOB is disabled, and the maximum number of job slave processes for Scheduler is controlled by the max_job_slave_processes Scheduler attribute.
