Good Job Mark.
Rather than recreate/modify a "SYS" owned object, you can use "HINT" in the query to make it run faster in 9i and 10g versions i.e.

select /*+ rule */ job,sid from dba_jobs_running;

I also just learned today of a "fix" for the view: dba_jobs_running. In
Oracle8 and Oracle8i, that view worked well (and quickly). In Oracle9
and Oracle10, it is *VERY* slow! The problem is the outer_join to
v$lock in the definition of this view. I ran this statement (as SYS) to
"fix" the performance problem in this view, and to give me the name of
the job that is running at the same time. (We have a single-instance
configuration, so the "instance" column added no value for me.)

create or replace view dba_jobs_running
(SID, JOB, FAILURES,
LAST_DATE, LAST_SEC, THIS_DATE,
THIS_SEC, WHAT)
-- THIS_SEC, INSTANCE)
as select v.SID, v.id2 JOB, j.FAILURES,
LAST_DATE, substr(to_char(last_date,'HH24:MI:SS'),1,8) LAST_SEC,
THIS_DATE, substr(to_char(this_date,'HH24:MI:SS'),1,8) THIS_SEC,
substr(j.what,1,40)
-- j.field1 INSTANCE
from sys.job$ j, v$lock v
where v.type = 'JQ' and j.job = v.id2;
--where v.type = 'JQ' and j.job (+)= v.id2;

Note: the lines commented out contain the default view definition (at
least in Oracle10.1).

Check dba_jobs_running to see if it was already running when you
executed the command.

If you are on Oracle 8.1.7, also check the number of "FAILURES" in
dba_jobs, if this is '16' you might has to bounce the database.

I've had similar issues with replication 'jobs' where if "FAILURES" = 16
I was toast because of some BUG.

Good luck

Jeff

after issue: EXECUTE dbms_job.broken(61,FALSE);

the job seems still broken.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
