You Asked

I have created a job in oracle 10.2.0.1.0 /linux


BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'TEST_JOB',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/tmp/test1.sh',
start_date => '01-jan-08 05:51:00 PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '06-jan-08 4.00.00 PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My test job');
END;

/tmp/test1.sh (copy a file from host to remote m/c)
------------------
#!/bin/bash
scp /tmp/x.txt <remote user>@<remote m/c hostname>:/tmp/x.txt


while running the job i' am getting

ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 255
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 150
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 441
ORA-06512: at line 2


but , By Giving directly as os command

the below command works fine.
scp /tmp/x.txt <remote user>@<remote m/c hostname>:/tmp/x.txt

but i need to execute through oracle scheduler.

Help me in resolving the problem
================================

and we said...

standard debugging techniques....

put some debug in your script - echo to a file...

especially echo your environment - in all likelihood the environment is nothing like what you expect (the environment comes from the oracle server environment, not your normal environment) and scp is "not found" - it is not in the path.

Reviewer: Friedhelm Büscher from Germany
You are making a ssh connection to a remote host without password. I guess, you are using key-auth. 
Make sure, that especially the $HOME Environment is set correctly so that the private key can be 
found.
