Cannot stop/drop job in DBMS_SCHEDULER

Question

I managed to run a job from DBMS_SCHEDULER. But is running since yesterday and I cannot stop it. The code for the job is:

 begin
  sys.dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name            => 'FTREC.EXE_1',
                            job_type            => 'EXECUTABLE',
                            job_action          => 'C:\Users\WWLSERVER\Desktop\test.bat',
                            start_date          => to_date(null),
                            repeat_interval     => '',
                            end_date            => to_date(null),
                            job_class           => 'MY_JOB_CLASS',
                            enabled             => false,
                            auto_drop           => false,
                            comments            => '');
 end;

I tried to stop the job/drop it but with no luck.
When I run:

begin
   dbms_scheduler.stop_job('FTREC.EXE_1',true);
end;

I get no error, but

SELECT * FROM USER_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_JOBS;

returns EXE_1 and if I try to drop the job

begin
   dbms_scheduler.drop_job('FTREC.EXE_1',true);
end;

I get this error:

ORA-27478: job "FTREC.EXE_1" is running
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 213
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 657
ORA-06512: at line 2

I have restarted the server but I had no luck. Any ideas how I can stop/drop this job?

which exact version are you using? 11g is a bit to vague. Upgrading to 11.2.0.4 if possible would be a good start. — user123664

@ik_zelf: I told the guy, responsible for Oracle to do it, but it will take some time(days actually because his hand are full). Do you have other idea how to stop/drop it? — Nianios

whats the session's status ? is there a transaction ? is it possible that the job is the process of a rollback ? — haki

Have you tried killing the session in the database or on the OS? — Ben

I had installed a Oracle Remote Agent to run the executable.
I first had to stop the service (Oracle Remote Agent) and then stop the job.
