RE: Couple of foibles in Toad 11.6.0.43

Hi Norm,


1)      Does it not eventually time out after 15-30 seconds or so?

2)      It is not in 12 beta.  I haven't added the autotask stuff because it seems like something that would be rarely used.  I do hear a request for it every now and then though.  Maybe it would be used more often than I think.  I can take a look at it.

Evening all,

I have a strange problem. Not Toad's fault, but it gives Toad a headache.

1. A connection to a database has dropped, and attempting to test
connections fails because the listener on the server has gone down.

Attempting to exit Toad at this point does the usual "are you sure?" and
asks me to save a MOE tab. I choose "no" to the save prompts and then
Toad fails to shut down because it cannot reconnect to the server. I am
going to have to terminate it with extreme Task Manager in a second or two!

2. In the schema browser I'm needing to look at the auto tasks views,
similar to the scheduler stuff already visible. These are present in
11.1.0.6 onwards. The views are DBA_AUTOTASK_%.

I can look at them in the MOE, but I'd like to be able to look via the
Scheme Browser - because it's much much better that way.

Obviously, this might already be in the 12 Beta, in which case, I'll
butt out!

There's a wee bit about these auto tasks on my blog at
http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/blog/2013/01/oraat_sa_spc_sy-jobs-failing/ if
anyone is interested.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Norm.
