How to Enable AutoTask

DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.ENABLE

To enable AUTOTASK back to work, we just revert the process of disabling AUTOTASK jobs.

Let's see the steps.

Check AutoTask

Here we query DBA_AUTOTASK_CLIENT for sure.

SQL> column client_name format a35;
SQL> column status format a10;
SQL> select client_name, status from dba_autotask_client;

CLIENT_NAME                         STATUS
----------------------------------- ----------
sql tuning advisor                  DISABLED
auto optimizer stats collection     DISABLED
auto space advisor                  DISABLED

There're 3 AUTOTASK jobs are disabled.

Turn on AutoTask

First, we compose enabling statements like this.

SQL> set linesize 100;
SQL> column stmt format a90;
SQL> select 'exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable(''' || CLIENT_NAME || ''', null, null);' stmt from dba_autotask_client where status = 'DISABLED';

STMT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable('auto space advisor', null, null);
exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable('auto optimizer stats collection', null, null);
exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable('sql tuning advisor', null, null);

Then we execute them individually.

SQL> exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable('auto space advisor', null, null);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable('auto optimizer stats collection', null, null);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec dbms_auto_task_admin.enable('sql tuning advisor', null, null);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Check AutoTask Again

SQL> select client_name, status from dba_autotask_client;

CLIENT_NAME                         STATUS
----------------------------------- ----------
sql tuning advisor                  ENABLED
auto optimizer stats collection     ENABLED
auto space advisor                  ENABLED

They are all back to work.
