Pulling my hair out. I have collected system statistics for day, night and weekend processing. I can interactively import system statistics with no problems: SQL->execute DBMS_STATS.IMPORT_SYSTEM_STATS(stattab => 'SYSTEM_STAT_TABLE', statid => 'DAYTIME', statown => 'SYSTEM'); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. When I put that in an oracle job, It errors and the trace file is: ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 2219 ORA-20000: Unable to import system statistics stats from user stat table SYSTEM.
