Features and Benefits
Because this adapter adds the ability to control Oracle jobs to Workload Automation, its feature set is accessed
from the Workload Automation interface. Oracle job automation-related capabilities and advantages delivered
through Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database provide richer, more advanced automation
and management functions than Oracle’s native toolset due to the following capabilities and advantages:
Flexible Oracle Job Definition Options – Within Workload Automation, users can define and run Oracle
database jobs in two different ways. They can specify PL/SQL statements as job parameters and load them into
job definitions—a capability not available through Oracle Enterprise Manager—which is helpful in generating
reports. They can also load and run jobs by selecting ones that already exist in Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database also offers an option to run a set of defined SQL
statements against data to allow users to pre-select or modify data prior to executing a job. In addition,
Workload Automation offers different ways to display job output, including aligned columns and XML options.

should run before a job is activated.
