In the past versions of EPAS, DBMS_SCHEDULER or DBMS_JOBS required the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
of pgAgent, an essential service for their functionality. Maintaining pgAgent in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
production environment is cumbersome. The need for correct configuration, regular updates,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and ensuring the service’s health added complexity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EPAS 16 revolutionizes job scheduling by eliminating the need for the pgAgent component.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new version introduces EDB Job Scheduler which is an extension that runs the job scheduler
|
|
|
|
|
|
as a background process for the DBMS_SCHEDULER and DBMS_JOB packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The EDB Job Scheduler has a scheduler process that starts when the database cluster starts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start the scheduler process, load the EDB Job Scheduler extension using the **shared_preload_libraries**
|

|
|
|
|
parameter. After you load the extension, create the extension **'edb_job_scheduler'** and **'dbms_scheduler'** using
|
|
|
|
|
|
the CREATE EXTENSION command. The database in which you're creating the extension must be listed in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
**edb_job_scheduler.database_list** parameter.
