Goal
Explain how to find the status of 'GATHER_STATS_JOB' or in fact 'auto optimizer stats collection' in 11g.
Fix
11g
In 11g, the automated maintenance task that collects statistics is called 'auto optimizer stats collection'. You can determine its' status by selecting fromDBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT:
SELECT CLIENT_NAME, STATUS FROM DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT WHERE CLIENT_NAME = 'auto optimizer stats collection' /
CLIENT_NAME STATUS ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------- auto optimizer stats collection ENABLED
The DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT view also displays frequency information about current and past automated maintenance tasks in columns MEAN_INCOMING_TASKS_7_DAYS and MEAN_INCOMING_TASKS_30_DAYS so you can see this historical information using a query like:
SELECT CLIENT_NAME , STATUS , MEAN_INCOMING_TASKS_7_DAYS, MEAN_INCOMING_TASKS_30_DAYS FROM DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT WHERE CLIENT_NAME = 'auto optimizer stats collection' /
For details of the other columns in DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT, see:
NOTE that the status in DBA_AUTOTASK_TASK and DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT may be different. See:
Document 858852.1 DBA_AUTOTASK_TASK and DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT Shows Different Status For Auto Optimizer Stats Collection
10g
The following is the 'old method' for checking the current and past automated maintenance tasks:
SELECT j.job_name , j.program_name , j.schedule_name, j.job_class , p.enabled FROM dba_scheduler_programs p, dba_scheduler_jobs j WHERE p.program_name=j.program_name;
JOB_NAME ------------------------------ PROGRAM_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCHEDULE_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOB_CLASS ENABL ------------------------------ ----- .. GATHER_STATS_JOB GATHER_STATS_PROG MAINTENANCE_WINDOW_GROUP AUTO_TASKS_JOB_CLASS TRUE
Note: If the 10g method is used on 11g, then it does not return any information as the implementation is quite different in 11g:
Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production With the Partitioning and Real Application Testing options
SQL> SELECT job_name , job_type , program_name , schedule_name, job_class FROM dba_scheduler_jobs WHERE job_name = 'GATHER_STATS_JOB';
