A job is an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resource that enables you to create and asynchronously execute SQL jobs on a single Managed Database or all the Managed Databases in a Database Group.

Before you create a job and monitor its runs and executions, you must:

• Review and complete the tasks given in Get Started with Diagnostics & Management. Note that to create Query type jobs, you must have additional Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service permissions. For information, see Additional Permissions Required to Use Diagnostics & Management.
• Create a Database Group, if you want to create a job for all the databases in the Database Group.

To go to the Jobs section:

1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.
2. Open the navigation menu, click Observability & Management. Under Database Management, click Diagnostics & Management.
3. Depending on whether you want to create a job for a single Managed Database or a Database Group, go to one of the following pages:
   • Managed database details page. For information, see Monitor and Manage a Specific Managed Database.
   • Database group details page. For information, see Create and Use Database Groups.
4. On the left pane under Resources, click Jobs.

The following tabs are displayed in the Jobs section:

• Definitions: On this tab, you can create a job and view the jobs that are in the Active state and were created within the time period selected in the Time period field.
