Oracle Job Scheduling

Chapter 4 - Chaining Oracle Jobs Together

Conditional Job Runs using a Custom Table Solution

The sequence of jobs is protected using the job_chain_locks table.  The RETRIES column specifies the number of times a task should check the locks before it gives up and re-schedules itself.  The RETRY_DELAY column specifies the number of minutes between retries.  The TASK_NAME and LOCKED columns are self-explanatory.
