***Checked for relevance on 25-Jul-2010*** Problem Description =================== You submit a job using DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT, but the job does not run and the following errors are written to the alert file: ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 62 Cause: Some kind of error was caught while doing an automatic execute of a job. Action: Look at the accompanying errors for details on why the execute failed. ORA-06550: line 1, column 143 Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error has occurred.

PLS-00201: identifier 'SCOTT.EMP' must be declared See: Note:27287.1 ORA-06550: line 1, column 96 Cause: A PL/SQL compilation error has occurred. The numbers given for line and column are the location in the PL/SQL block where the error occurred. Action: Refer to the following PL/SQL messages for more information about the error. PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored The job inserts data from one schema (userA) into a table in another schema (userB), and is submitted from userB. Solution Description ==================== To fix the problem as userA we must: GRANT SELECT ON <tablename> TO <userB>; eg. GRANT SELECT ON emp to SYSTEM; Explanation =========== The problem is caused by the error: PLS-00201: identifier 'SCOTT.EMP' must be declared The job which is submitted by userB and SELECTs data from the some_table in userA schema will run successfully if userA grants SELECT ON some_table TO userB explicitly (NOT via ROLE !) Take the following example: Let's say you connected as SYSTEM and are trying to submit a job which SELECTs data from some table in other shema and inserts them into some table into the SYSTEM schema. SQL> SQL> 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 DECLARE jobno number; begin DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(jobno, 'INSERT INTO test SELECT ename FROM scott.emp;', SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE+1/24/60'); COMMIT; end; /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. You can see that the job was submitted but there are no entries in the test table so it hasn't been executed.
