    When the Oracle Scheduler is disabled, dbms_scheduler fails after the creation of the partitions.

    Workaround:

    1. Oracle Scheduler(DBMS_JOB) must be enabled

    2. Stop CM

    3. Login to 'sqlplus' as 'pqb_admin'

      Example: [oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus pqb_admin

    4. Run the following SQL query: 
      SELECT 'EXEC DBMS_JOB.RUN(' || JOB || ')' RUN FROM USER_JOBS WHERE WHAT LIKE 'P_MANAGE_PARTITION%'
      Example: 
      SQL> SELECT 'EXEC DBMS_JOB.RUN(' || JOB || ')' RUN FROM USER_JOBS WHERE WHAT LIKE 'P_MANAGE_PARTITION%';

RUN
-----------------------------------------------------------
EXEC DBMS_JOB.RUN(567)
