Hi,
I have some Oracle Jobs that are owned by one of the users of my database. I wish to break/unbreak these jobs from another user (not sys user). I cannot login from the account of the owner of the jobs.
I found the procedure dbms_job.broken(job#,true/false) which i thought would serve the purpose but learnt that this stored procedure would work only if we have logged in by the same user as the owner of the jobs.

What can i do to counter this situation?
are their any grants that I can give to the user so that it is allowed to unbreak/break another user's jobs?

You may issue ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA={owner of job}

And grant EXECUTE on DBMS_JOB

suppose the job belongs to "ORDER_SCHEMA" and I have logged in by "xyz" user. Even after altering the session as mentioned below, i cannot break the jobs that are owned by ORDER_SCHEMA.
It throws error.

ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA= ORDER_SCHEMA;
exec dbms_job.broken(1,false)

There is no grant for this, you have to use internal job package (dbms_ijob) from a privileged user.

I saw the error and checked in metalink. There is no chance: you need to login as the owner.

Yes, you're right... it isn't on my PL/SQL packages reference and it must run owner qualified. I've tested it and works fine... thanks.

It is not in PL/SQL types and packages doc.
It is not documented and is an internal package.
But it is the only way to act on others job.

Currently Metalink is not accessible from my place, maybe there is a doc on it.

I found something interesting to share.

I wrote a package/ stored procedure to start/stop the jobs in the job_owner's account. I then, gave the execute privilege of this SP to the other user which was willing to start/stop this users jobs.
And I dont know why, but it worked. The other user, was able to start/stop the jobs of another user, indirectly throught a SP.

I don't see the package in your post.

It is expected, default package behaviour is to run with the privileges and identity of its owner.

PROCEDURE TOGGLE_MONITOR_JOB(
                    P_REPORT_NAME     OB_MONITOR_RCPTS.REPORT_NAME%TYPE,
                    P_ACTION   NUMBER,
                    p_update_by ob_monitor_rcpts.update_by%type
                  )AS

JOB_ID NUMBER;
p_what varchar2(100);


BEGIN

		select what into p_what from ob_monitor_rcpts where trim(lower(report_name)) = trim(lower(p_report_name));
       SELECT JOB INTO JOB_ID FROM user_jobs WHERE trim(LOWER(WHAT)) = trim(lower(P_WHAT));

       IF(P_ACTION = 1) THEN
       		UPDATE OB_MONITOR_RCPTS SET
                                REPORT_STATUS = 'A',
                                UPDATE_DETAILS = 'Job Started',
                                UPDATE_DATE = SYSDATE,
                                UPDATE_BY = p_update_by
            WHERE lower(trim(REPORT_NAME)) = lower(trim(P_REPORT_NAME));
        DBMS_JOB.BROKEN(JOB_ID,false);
        dbms_output.put_line( 'Job Started');
       ELSIF(P_ACTION = 0) THEN
       	  UPDATE OB_MONITOR_RCPTS SET
                                REPORT_STATUS = 'D',
                                UPDATE_DETAILS = 'Job Suspended',
                                UPDATE_DATE = SYSDATE,
                                UPDATE_BY = p_update_by
        WHERE lower(trim(REPORT_NAME)) = lower(trim(P_REPORT_NAME));
        DBMS_JOB.BROKEN(JOB_ID,true);
               dbms_output.put_line( 'Job Suspended');

        end if;

       commit;

       exception when others then
       dbms_output.put_line('Error : '||sqlerrm);

END;

As I said, your package is executed as owner and so can see owner's jobs.
