Next 10 scheduled run times ...

Morning all,

Toad 10.6 GA.

I created a schedule and the next 10 run times didn’t take account of
the start date I gave it. I wanted a start date of 1st September 2011
and a BYHOUR=7. When I checked the next 10 run times, they started
“today”.

I also noticed that I’m not able to put an expression into the start
data entry box because Toad wraps what I put in a set of quotes, and
assumes it’s a date format of ‘yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss tzr’. For example,
I can do this in the MOE:

BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE
(
schedule_name => ‘SYSTEM.fred’
,start_date =>
TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ(to_char(trunc(systimestamp)+4,‘yyyy/mm/dd’),
‘yyyy/mm/dd’)
,repeat_interval => ‘frequency=daily; byhour=7,12’
,end_date => NULL
,comments => NULL
);
END;
/

But not in the schedule creator dialogue because whatever I enter gets
wrapped in TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ(’ my_stuff ') and causes an error. Obviously
with Toad 11 well along the way, I’m not expecting a fix in 10, but it
may be still a problem in 11.

Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]

Hi Norm,

In the ‘create schedule’ dialog, if you right-click in the start
time edit box, it’ll give you choices like “now”,
“tomorrow at midnight”, etc. If you choose one of those, it’ll
populate the edit box with the expected format. I guess I didn’t account
for expressions here.

It’s too late to have this in 11, but I’ll fix it for the first beta
after that.

Yes, thanks. I saw that when I failed to enter an expression for myself.
I chose "Tomorrow at 8:00 am" to see what it was expecting. In the end,
I copied the SQl to the editor and amended it prior to hitting it with F9!

Excellent. thanks.
