      number_of_arguments   => 0,
      start_date            => TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ (
                                 '2018-10-11 08:39:11.000000000 EUROPE/LONDON',
                                 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF TZR'),

      comments              => 'To extract data from daily sales');

   DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_ATTRIBUTE (name        => '"VINISH"."JOB_PROCESS_SALARY"',
                                 attribute   => 'logging_level',
