This parameter indicates the number of Oracle jobs that are broken. This is determined by querying the DBA_JOBS view:
Select count(*) from dba_jobs where broken = 'Y';
Broken jobs can't be good and should be addressed by those responsible for the job. The DBA_JOBS view provides additional information that may help the DBA pinpoint ownership of the job.
