External table error in windows environment

Can i create external table from directory which is on network drive not on local server where oracle is intsalled. I am receiving follwoing error when I try to query external table poinittng to directory object on network drive in windows. Thanks
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

OS error The system cannot find the file specified.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19

I suspect not. Copy the file to a local disk location, point the directory or a directory to it, update the external table definition if necessary, repeat. If this run works then you have your answer.

RMAN Backup to external network/drive on Windows environment

Hello, I have been searching quite a while in many different documents, but I still haven't found a clear understanding on the following subject:
Is it possible to have in a Windows environment a backup strategy which writes these backups to an external network/drive? As for example:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '\\ext_server_name\backups\%d_ora_df%t_s%s_p%p';
I am aware that this type of backup functions under Unix and Linux environments, nevertheless I would like to do this also under Windows.
Is there a possible way of doing this? And if there it is how can I achieve this, or where can I read about doing this in this way?
Thanks for your help. I hope this information is sufficient for you?
Server: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
Oracle: 10.2.0.2.0

I know this error in the context of Kerberos adapter, is that installed?
ORA-12631: Username retrieval failed
This error is usually a problem external to Oracle.
ORA-12631 / TNS-12631, "Username retrieval failed"
*Cause: The authentication service failed to retrieve the name of a user.
*Action: Enable tracing to determine which routine is failing.
Possible causes:
Problem: Cannot read key table. The key table that has been extracted must be readable by the user the oracle server process runs as.
Action: On a UNIX system, check the file permissions with ls -l and use chmod as appropriate. This can also be an issue on Windows NT with an NTFS file system. Use the file explorer and change the security setting for the file as needed.

I have the directories INPUT_DIR and INPUT_LOGDIR defined, and read/write access granted to the user who creates the table and tried to query from it.
I have tried various combinations of VARCHAR2 lengths and NUMBER vs VARCHAR2 for some of the numeric fields.
I am not getting any Bad, Log or Discard files.
I can do a GET from the SQL prompt, and see the data:

and I see the data.

I am not positive of the newline record delimiter - these files are generated by an automated system. Probably generated on a UNIX machine.
Any suggestions on what to try would be helpful.
KUP-04043 error message says to check the syntax .. .I am running out of thigns to check.
Thank you - Karen

And the get ( I created the sanitized file, so we have a real working, failing, santiized example):

Querying external tables ERROR no not English version 10g R2 ¿BUG 5172459?

Hello
I have a serious problem when trying to view the content of external tables under Oracle 10R2 in Spanish
Steps to perform:
1. Make directory on file system (in oracle server side).
2. Copy a data file into this directory.
3. Login (sqlplus) as "sys as sysdba"
4. Make one oracle directory object
5. Grant permits read / write to a user 'simple_uesr'
6. Logout sys, and login as 'simple_user'
7. Make a external table, which uses the directory and data file.
8. Run query 'select * from myExtTable' to check it.
I have repeated these steps on Oracle 9i Enterprise, Oracle 10gR2 Enterprise, and Oracle 10g XE, and always, always worked perfectly (no problems).
The problem occurs in the client's DB (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 SPANISH), everything works fine until the step 8 (querying external tables), where systematically the following error occurs:
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-29913: error al ejecutar la llamada de ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN
ORA-29400: error de cartucho de datos
KUP-00552: internal XAD package failed to load
ORA-06512: en "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", línea 19
I have made many tests, such as assigning a wrong directory to external table, remove the data file, remove access permissions, and always, always gives the same error, nerver error "file not found...etc, etc".
I have concluded that the failure, which occurs before Oracle even try to access the file system, but I do not know what may be the cause.
Searching the Internet, I found the following links:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_29913_external_table_error.htm
http://zalbb.itpub.net/post/980/249423
Where mention the BUG 5172459 (MetaLink Note: 373168.1), but after follow the directions, still does not work.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks!

Let's go through errors you posted:
First error (ORA-29913) indicating error occurs when Oracle tryed to access external table.
Then ORA-29400 says that error has occurred in a data cartridge external procedure.
And then finally KUP-00552 - an error was encountered while attempting to initialize the XAD package.
So did you check state of the XAD package in that database?
Also, please post code you used in steps 4. and 7.

I suspect not. Copy the file to a local disk location, point the directory or a directory to it, update the external table definition if necessary, repeat. If this run works then you have your answer.

External table error (no data showing)

Hi Guys,
Need some help on my external table. I have an existing external table (MA_EXT) when I select the table no data is showing and there is no error in the log file and there is no bad file. The next thing I did to check if the error is in the file is to copy the same code and just rename the external table (MA_EXT2) and it worked just fine (data is showing no changes in the code just external table name). So the next step I did was to drop and recreate the external table (MA_EXT) but the same thing happened the data is not showing and no error in log file and no bad file.
BTW this is in 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
Has anyone encountered this? TIA...

Either you are correct or Oracle is correct.
I bet Oracle is correct more often than you.
You are free to submit a Bug Report if you are sure that Oracle is mis-behaving.

Regarding external table error

Hi,
I have created a csv file using excel as source, then I creaed a flat file module and imported the source.
Next I have created a external table for that file.
By using ssh I copied my source file (.csv file) to the server location ( By drag and drop method)
In the server it shows the file name as Income Source.csv file.
I deployed the external table.
When I am trying to opening the table it shows the message like
file not found in that location.
When I view the generated SQL of external table
in that query : the location the file name as Income_Source not Income Sourcce.csv ( I am thinking this might be the problem)
Please give me the suggestions.
Thanks,
Venkat

VenkatFile name should be exactly same as the filename in the directory.
Its a good practise to use filename as one string or have some char such as " _" to seperate two strings rather than have space such as INCOME SOURCE
i presume you have given permissions on the directory for owb to read the file.

I have no experience with external tables but my understanding is that they are described the same was as you would describe a file to be loaded by SQL Loader. When ever I create a sql loader control file to load a date column I use syntax like this:
DATE_M                                             "TO_DATE(:DATE_M,'dd.mm.yyyy')",Not sure if that will work for external tables or not.

Oracle External Table SELECT FROM problem from workstation

At Solaris Oracle database server console.
Created directory on the Solaris server as Oracle owner.
As SYS created oracle directory object on that Solaris directory
Granted read/write to SCHEMA_OWNER on that oracle directory object.
Using OS Oracle user, moved a tab-delimited flat file into the Solaris directory.
Logged on a SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on the Solaris database server.
Ran external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
Appropriate dataset returned.
So at the Oracle Solaris server console,
the create external table script worked without errors,
and a select from statement on the external table worked without errors.
Move to developer workstation:
Logged on as SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on Windows workstation.
TNSNAMES of course points to the Solaris database server.
Ran the external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
This failed with these errors:
ORA29913 error executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA29400 data cartridge error
cant open logfile.log
OS permission denied
ORA06512 sys.oracle_loader line 19
So how can I select from external tables from a windows workstation?
Any guidance on this problem would be appreciated.

Thank you for your response.
I am not creating the external table on the workstation.
In both cases,
from the Solaris console
and from the Windows workstation
the external table is being created on the Solaris file system
in an Oracle Directory object
running an SQL script from SQLPLUS prompt.
The external table creator, schema owner, has read and write permissions
granted by SYS on the oracle directory object.
The problem is:
Logged in as the schema owner,
you can select * from ext_table from the Solaris console SQLPLUS,
but you can not select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You can DROP TABLE ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You just cannot select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
I guess as a test,
I can drop from the ext_table creation script the references
to discardfile, badfile, and logfile,
and remove this other file objects from the equation...
which appears to be a file permissions problem.

URGENT : Regarding External Table

Hi,
We have some external tables in our production environment. In unix level we have two users 1) ORACLE (Primary Group DBA, Secondary group RELEASE)
2) PROD (Primary Group RELEASE).
Now the log file directory of external table owned by PROD user and RELEASE group.
What minimum priviledges is reqire in unix level, so that ORACLE user can create log files for external tables there.
I have tried with 775, but it is trrowing the follwoing error :
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: unable to open log file log_flow.log
OS error Permission denied
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
Can any one suggest ASAP.
One more Issue I have facing with external tables. The follwoing select "select * from dba_directories" showing all the directories I have created (data,log,reject,error), but "select * from dba_external_locations" showing only the data file locations not showing the error,log and reject location, and when the DATABASE is bounced due to some other reason the DDL of external table get changed (error,log and reject file location was not there). Can any one suggest any work around.
Any body can call me up in any one of the following nos.

Hi,
Have you try to create a file manually with oracle user ito this log directory ?
Have you check the good directory ?
dba_external_locations It describes the locations (data sources) of all external tables in the database.

PS : you know, today is saturday, and in most of countries, saturday is the week-end - in other word not working -, since this forum is based on volunteers, you can wait some time an answer, if you have. If it's very urgent, contact your oracle support service.

Mouse right clikc on windows environment

I planning to install windows vista using boot camp in MY Mac Book Pro
Can i use mouse right click button using MBP tack pad or external wireless mouse in windows environment?
My key board and mouse operation will work automatically or i need update any patch to work on windows environment.
Please suggest
SUNIL

When using Bootcamp and Vista, you'll lose the tap-to-click (or right-click with two-fingers) functionality. You must use the button for those features, which still work properly without tapping.

External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003 problem

I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.
Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
Thank you,
Michael

Thank you for your reply.
Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.
