ORA-27486: privilegios insuficientes
ORA-06512: em "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 196
ORA-06512: em "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 486
ORA-06512: em line 1


Fix:

You should connect with the credential owner and grant the execute on that credential to the other user:

--Connect with the credential owner:
SQL> conn edi/edi
SQL> grant execute on edi.edi_credential to sys;
--Connect back to SYS
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.run_job('MY_JOB');
