Error opening Oracle Directory file

My database is Oracle 11g on Linux
I am try to use Oracle Directory file sitting on a Windows Server.
I am getting the following error when trying to access the file.
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
error opening file \\bbsftp01\SSH_Homes\governet/COURSE_ATTR_4891.log
It looks like it thinks the file is sitting on a Linux server and therefore is throwing in the "/" forward slash....Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Jae

The key phrase here is
I am try to use Oracle Directory file sitting on a Windows Server.
Is Windows interoperable with Linux? Does Linux understand UNC?
Don't think so and don't think so.
Are you using Samba on the Windows Server and did you NFS mount that directory on the Linux server.
If you didn't it is not going to work. Apart from that: Windows can deal with forward slashes so that is not the problem.

  • Error Opening Oracle Terminal File fmrweb.

    I installed 9IAS portal and the forms/reports server. The portal works fine, but when I try the 'Run Form Web ( runform.htm)' I get an error "Error opening Oracle*Terminal file fmrweb." The file does exist in my c:\oracle\806\forms60 directory and my FORMS60_PATH is set to c:\oracle\806\forms60 as well. Anybody having ( had ) similar problems? Note: 8.1.7, portal, and formsserver installed on the same Win 2000 machine. No Oracle apps. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Christian,
    It's probably working because you're now using fmrweb.res instead of the foobar fmrwebdk.res. Just look out for that missing quotation mark :)

  • Forms9i: Cannot open Oracle*Terminal file: fmrweb.

    Hi there,
    Anyone who knows what to do about the error message "Cannot open Oracle*Terminal file: fmrweb" when trying to compile and run a form in Forms9i ?? I have found a few files named fmrweb*.* in the D:\OraHome\Forms90 directory. What can I do ???
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers ...Jesper ( [email protected] )

    hi jesper,
    U must have been working with forms either design or run mode.
    U have to close the application before oracle terminal can be effective.
    restart forms desgin/run mode after u have registered the changes made in the oracle terminal file.
    (resp. *.res)

    Hi
    The OS directory SECFILE is already available under 'c:\oracle' and the .pdf file is available under 'c:oracle\secfile'Why its under 'c:oracle\secfile'? It should be under 'c:oracle\' ...SECFILE is the name of the directory in Oracle not on OS. So your pdf should be at 'c:oracle\'.

    Hi,
    as suggested already, you need to do this : Re: Can Not See Local Published Universe
    i have to say: i can see now that you are working in standalone mode. therefore you're not authenticating against a server,  therefore we can make no assumptions about the integrity of your content nor how you are moving content between systems...
    i would be careful with your current practice, because you might find yourself corrupting files..

  • "the path does not exist" error opening shared adobe files on XP machine

    We recently upgraded a mac mini from Tiger (10.4.11) to Leopard (10.5.X) we updated to the most recent 10.5.
    We have an office with 3 macs and 1 XP.
    All users connect to the Mac Mini via SMB sharing.
    Everyone Authenticates as the same admin user.
    *The XP machine can open and save all file types EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files.*
    They are using CS3.
    The mac and XP users could open save and share all files prior to the leopard update.
    We used the "Archive and Install" option to upgrade to leopard.
    The shared files had the "unknown Group" error which we solved by adding them to the ADMIN group. This step changed the error message the the XP user was receiving.
    I have tried many networking fixes, including group policy on windows, turning off IPv6 on the Mini, but we cannot open or save files directly from Illustrator.
    When the file
    We can move files to the XP desktop then open and save. Files saved on the XP machine can be moved back to the mini and opened directly by all of the Mac users.
    Any guesses why this might be occurring?

    There are actually two separate error messages received by the windows user when trying to open files off of the Mini.
    "the path does not exist" and "this file cannot be found".
    This happens when we navigate directly to the file with windows explorer.

  • Error opening Project 2007 file after using project 2010

    This is the second time I'm experiencing this problem.
    Created a file (say Rev 1) in Project 2007 at work and took it home and updated it using Project 2010. When I finished updating using Project 2010, I saved the file in Project 2007 format. Came to work the next day, opened the file using
    Project 2007 and did a "Save As" so that I have another revision of the file (Rev 2).
    After updating Rev 2 in Project 2007 I closed it but when I came to work the next day I couldn't open Rev 2 file again either in Project 2007 or 2010. This has happened to me with 2 different files.
    The error message I get is
    An unexpected error occured during command execution.
    Try the following:
    Verify that all argumen names and values are correct and are of the correct type.
    You may have run out of memory. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows that you aren't using.

    It seems to me that it has to do something with invalid characters in the file name of the timeline. Or it could be anything from an '&' to two concurrent spaces, mulitple '.' or even a dash (-). Stick with single spaces, letter and

  • Error opening pdf and file can't be found,why

    I received an attachment in my BT emails and opened it,then printed it.When I tried to find it so I could copy it to my Outlook emails it had disappeared. Adobe said there had been an error opening it and the file could not be found.What happened and why?
    Hacien

    I described what had happened when I tried to view a pdf, and said that when I found the pdf and tried to open it again, all I had was a message telling me there had been “an error” and as a result the file could not be found. I don’t know if it was hidden or deleted and asked “why did it happen”
    If Adobe does not give me any more information than that, how am I supposed to give any more information?
    It was the first time I had used the Adobe reader, and I was not expecting someone to be so terse in their reply to my query.  As the song says, “Everybody’s  got to learn some-time.” It would be easier if the ones who DO know could remember the time when they didn’t know.
    To avoid further embarrassment, I will withdraw and not attempt to use your forum again.

  • Error opening Local Cube File in Excel 2007

    Excel crashes, the only error given is "Microsoft PowerPivot Engine has stopped working"
    Event viewer log is equally vague:
    "The description for Event ID 22 from source MSOLAP$LocalCube cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local
    computer.
    If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
    The following information was included with the event:
    Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred. Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred."
    Local cube file is created using version 11 of Microsoft.AnalysisServices, using a relational sql data source connected via SQLNCL11.1. Excel is version 2007. OS is Windows 7 sp 1 64 bit. File is created succesfully, no errors.
    Also baffling is that some members of my team can open this file successfully and others cannot (including myself). I can not find anything in common in regards to software installed on any of the systems.

    Hi Infide,
    According to your description, your PowerPivot Engine stopped unexpectedly. Right?
    In this scenario, since other member can open the cube file successfully, there should be no corruption in the cube file. One possibility which can cause this error is the memory issue. Please refer to an article below:
    Memory Considerations about PowerPivot for Excel
    For troubleshooting, please enable "PowerPivot Diagnostics" functionality to create a trace file to capture some useful information:

  • Error Opening Adobe PDF Files

    Hi...
    I have suddenly had an error appear whe opening most PDF files - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    Subsequently I'm unble to open these files. I'm on a Mac platform with OS X 10.8 and am using Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.4.
    The files are mainly downloaded / saved to my desktop through Safari. These are PDF files that I've previously been able to open but all of a sudden can't.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! ...thanks!!

    Thanks for offering your assistance with this one mate... I appreciate it!

    The rest of it is prety much gobbly **** and ASCI stuff - the kind of stuff that get's me stumped!
    Just another discovery with this problem - I've discovered something interesting with my mobile phone bill, which I view as a PDF file in a safari window on my phone provider's website. I right clicked on the phone bill displayed in the Safari and used 'save as' to save a copy of this to my desktop so I could later open in Acrobat Pro and print, as I always do, however when I go to open that file from my desktop, the error occurs and can't open. HOWEVER - I discovered an option through the phone company website to open the file in 'Acrobat' within a Safari window, which I did. It adds Acrobat toolbar menu etc within the Safari screen and displays bill in PDF format as if in Acrobat. I then saved a copy of the file from this view on my desktop, and now That One I can Open! There is anoter distinct difference too - the unopenable files display on my desktop as the 'PDF icon' and the one of the phone bill that I can open displays as a 'Preview Icon' (as they all should).
    Hope this all makes sense and may point to something further?
    Once again - thanks for the help!
