FILEOPEN failed:ORA-22288 and LFI-00108

File or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed?
My configuration of the Intermedia Cartridge respond VALID and INSTALLED, and my path and file is OK, whats this error messages: ORA-22288 and LFI-00108 ?
- Sorry my english...
null

Some progress made. It turns out the directory object points to a shared drive. It's a windows server and Oracle runs as Local System. I always thought that it was impossible to read anything from a shared drive in this situation. Apparently in some situations you can using utl_file but not usign dbms_lob.

Dbms_lob.fileopen gives ORA-22288. Can open the same file with utl_file.

What could cause the following behaviour:

*Cause:    The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.

           the error still persists, report the error to the DBA.However opening and reading the exact same file succeeds when using utl_file.
declare

   utl_file.fclose_all;
end;So it seems the file is available and accessable by the database.
It's the first time we run into this particular error and it's one of the first 11gR2 instances so maybe there is something 11g specific we don't know about?

Export failed, ORA-03113 and ORA-01041

Hello,
I'm trying to do a full export of my DB,I have installed Oracle 9i dataserver(configured in shared mode) on Windows 2k, and the following error appears me:
. exportando acciones y objetos de procedimiento pre-esquema
EXP-00008: se ha encontrado un error 3113 de ORACLE

I don't understand it, because I have 2 other DB instances created in the same data server and their exportation have finished correctly.
Any idea?¿
Thanks a lot,
Mabel

Hi,
Here is the error description for error 1041:01041, 00000, "internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist"

Create trigger failed: ORA-06552 and ORA-06553 errors

Hi,
I have a couple of standard triggers looking like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AID_xxx" BEFORE
INSERT ON "TBLxxx" FOR EACH ROW
begin
select rrm_newid.nextval into :new.xxxID from dual;
end;
For some reason, not all of them work, but most of then do. When I try to execute it (on Oracle 8.1.7) :
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AID_TASK" BEFORE
INSERT ON "TBLTASK" FOR EACH ROW
begin
select rrm_newid.nextval into :new.TASKID from dual;
end;
I get an error saying:
The following error has occurred:
ORA-06552: PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
ORA-06553: PLS-320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
The table TBLTASK exists, same for the TASKID field and for the sequence.
Any thoughts on this one?
Regards,
Sander

No, you definitely do not have to do it in two steps - there is no variable needed.
I would guess that there might be some control character hiding in your script somewhere. Although your header formatting is a bit non-standard, it compiled just fine here.
Also, you don't need to double-quote the object names since Oracle will uppercase them anyway.

Dbms_lob.fileopen failed though utl_file.fgetattr works fine

Hi ,
I am using Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod.
I am working on loading MS .doc into Oracle.
I have created dir using following code:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY TEST_SN1 AS'||
'''\\inecg-sdc11\XYZ_ABC2\DT-AUTOMATION\DUMMY_12LNEW''';
END;
I have verified the existence of file(Status.doc) using utl_file.fgetattr using the following code:
DECLARE
ex BOOLEAN;
flen NUMBER;
bsize NUMBER;
BEGIN
utl_file.fgetattr('TEST_SN1', 'Status.doc', ex, flen, bsize);
IF ex THEN
insert into test_msg values('File Exists');
ELSE
insert into test_msg values('File Does Not Exist');
END IF;
insert into test_msg values('File Length: ' || TO_CHAR(flen));
insert into test_msg values('Block Size: ' || TO_CHAR(bsize));
commit;
END;
the code succuessfully returns the msg 'File exists' along with the file length .
I have also tried opening the file using utl_file and dbmc_lob package+
SQL> DECLARE
2 vInHandle utl_file.file_type;
3 vNewLine VARCHAR2(250);
4 BEGIN
5 vInHandle:= utl_file.fopen('TEST_SN1', 'Status.doc', 'R');
6 utl_file.fclose(vInHandle);
7 END;
8 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
But the following code still produces error ORA-22288:+
This is what the output was:
SQL> declare
2 l_bfile bfile;
3 begin
4 l_bfile := bfilename( 'TEST_SN1', 'Status.doc' );
5 dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );
6 dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
7 end;

declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 523
ORA-06512: at line 5
Even though the file exists and Oracle is able to identify the file, I cant figure out what is
stopping my code to open that file.
Please help me to figure out the problem.
For more undertstanding ,You can also refer the my conversation with Tom Kyte at following link:

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
The file Status.doc which I am trying to access is in remote server at path *\\inecg-sdc11\XYZ_ABC2\DT-AUTOMATION\DUMMY_12LNEW* .Though the path is not mapped to the WINDOWS system where Oracle is installed but I am able to access the file(open and read) from that system.
Do you mean that I need to map the network drive to that system?*
if yes, then why UTL_FILE is working perfectly?*
Also, in my requirement, theres a high possibility that the path(of remote server) may change in future(if mapped).So ,is there any alternative for that?*
Please provide your useful suggestions

ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed (The data is invalid)

Dear All,
I am trying to insert a image file (gif) to one of my field.
1. Here is my table structure and trying to insert gif image file to PIC file.
SQL> desc cis2.david_pic
Name Null? Type
ID VARCHAR2(5)
PIC BLOB
2. I using sql command to create directory and the path is pointing where the DB
server was installed.
SQL> create or replace directory MY_FILES as '\\hkqaa-db1\TEXT_IMPORT';
3. Written a script to insert empty blob first and than trying to use the dbms_lob.fileopen
to upload the gif file.
SQL> declare
2 l_blob blob;
3 l_bfile bfile;
4 begin
5 insert into cis2.david_pic values ( '1', empty_blob())
6 returning pic into l_blob;
7 l_bfile := bfilename('MY_FILES', 'bess_signature.gif');
8 dbms_lob.fileopen(l_bfile);
9 dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
10 dbms_lob.fileclose(l_bfile);
11 end;

4. After I ran my script I got this error message.

ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed

Can any tell me what wrong? is this the way to insert image?
Thanks

Know this is an old post: (for sharing sake.)
Please try avoiding
1. the 'hyphen' in between the path (hkqaadb1 instead of hkqaa-db1)
2. Give direct path like 'C:\TEXT_IMPORT' instead of network path.
create or replace directory MY_FILES as '\\hkqaa-db1\TEXT_IMPORT'; -- Not working.
create or replace directory MY_FILES as 'C:\hkqaadb1\TEXT_IMPORT'; -- Working.
and this worked fine.

Getting ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed in Windows XP

Hi All,
I am getting the error message
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
when I attempt to call a stored procedure containing the following code.
bfile_in := BFILENAME( 'SP_IMPORT_NIF20_DIR', v_filename );
/* Open the input file */
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(bfile_in);
It works fine on UNIX but fails when running on my Windows XP Pro Oracle 9i install. I suspect that it has something do to with the file permissions. I can get this same error on UNIX if the file permissions are not set correctly. I get it every time on Windows XP Pro even though I think that the file permissions are
set correctly. Perhaps the Windows XP Pro permissions are not as I think! or perhaps the Oracle instance needs to be granted access to the XP directories etc. I am not sure how this would be done.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

You have EXPLORER set to "Use Simple File Sharing". Uncheck that option for the folders and you will get the security tab.
I am not sure why you can't run Oracle as a specific user. I do this all the time. In fact, I create an Oracle group and add a user called Oracle and then configure that user/group for all the permissions it needs (and none it doesn't), environment set up, etc. and then run the service as that user. Can you get a specific error message?
As a side note, I am clueless why Oracle doesn't do this for you. They do on Unix installs.

Inserting image to table...ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed

Good day!
I'm just new with using databases, and i'm enjoying it.
So I read that you can insert images to a table, and so i decided to try it... and here's where I'm at..
*I made a directory
CREATE directory image_dir as 'D:\Images';
--Directory Created.
*I created a table
CREATE TABLE animages
(aname VARCHAR2(40),
breedno NUMBER(10),
image_file BLOB,
image_name VARCHAR2(40),
CONSTRAINT aname_fk FOREIGN KEY (aname) REFERENCES clist(aname));
--Table Created.
*Then I made a procedure for inserting the images
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_image_file (p_aname VARCHAR2, p_breedno NUMBER, p_image_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
src_file BFILE;
dst_file BLOB;
lgh_file BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
src_file := BFILENAME('IMAGE_DIR', p_image_name);
INSERT INTO animages
     (aname, breedno, image_file, image_name)
VALUES (p_aname, p_breedno, EMPTY_BLOB(), p_image_name)
RETURNING image_file
INTO dst_file;
SELECT image_file
INTO dst_file
FROM animages
WHERE aname = p_aname AND image_name = p_image_name
FOR UPDATE;
DBMS_LOB.fileopen(src_file, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
lgh_file := DBMS_LOB.getlength(src_file);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(dst_file, src_file, lgh_file);
UPDATE animages
SET image_file = dst_file
WHERE aname = p_aname AND image_name = p_image_name;
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(src_file);
END;
--Procedure Created.
*So i was able to do those but when i was trying to execute the procedure i get this error..
execute insert_image_file('African Elephant', 60, 'African_Elephant');
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed

I've been looking for a solution for a day now, hope someone could help me, thanks.
BTW, I got the code for the PROCEDURE from a user named Aparna16, just did some minor editing so it would fit my tables, thanks.
And sorry if the post is too long.

Kindly help.

I had the same problem on centos (RHEL 5.2). It think maybe it is something to do with permissions with the folder to which you extract the software. I unziped apex download in the home for the super user /root then changed directory to /root/apex to do the install. In sqlplus connected as sys as sysdba the command @apxldimg.sql /root failed with ora-22288. My workaround was to copy the images to a different directory and then it worked. rm -rf /tmp/apex/images/ then mkdir -p /tmp/apex/images/ then cp -r /root/apex/images/* /tmp/apex/images/ then back in sqlplus @apxldimg.sql /tmp. This time it worked!

Hi guys,
Sybrand, aplogoies, the second line of the error stack was on one line in the first post, full error stack below:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect.

Hoek, i took your advice and tried to replace FILEOPEN with OPEn but got the same error.
Just to clarify as well, I am not using UNC or relative file paths as I know that these can cause problems.

Scheduled Web Intelligence report fails with ORA-01013 and WIS 10901

Hi,
the environment I'm working in is BOXI R2 SP4 on a Solaris 10 server using WebLogic running against Oracle 9i database.
I have a report written by one of the users. In SQL Viewer the SQL detailed is two joined Select statements. Each time this report is either scheduled or refreshed is fails with an ORA-01012 and WIS 10901 error.
I am of the understanding that this failure relates to the fact that the 'Limit Execution Time To;' value is being exceeded.
I also understand that this value is infact divided by the number of Select statements present, and that each Select statment is them allocated an equal portion of this value.
If any of this is incorrect please correct me.
I therefore have two questions
1. As such would I be correct in assuming that in my scenario where 2 Select statments are present and where the execution limit is set to 30 minutes, that each Select has 15 minutes to complete, and that if either fails the ORA-01012 and WIS 10901 error is generated.
2. Also would this error message get generated as soon as the first failure occurred, or would BO initiate a cancellation of the SQL by Oracle, ORA-01012, only when the final request has either succeeded or failed.

The queries are not executed in parallel but in serial. So the total execution time configured will be for all the Select statements in the report combined.
As for your second question, since the execution is not parallel hence BO will not initiate any error message until the total execution time exceeds the defined limit. This could be during the execution of first select statement or the second.
Try executing the queries directly in database one by one and see how much time they are taking.

Dbms_lob.FileOpen failed using remote directory in oracle 10g

when i create a directory with the remote shared path like '\\kf-kjyxp\sharepath\temporary' . then in a pl/sql block i use dbms_lob.fileopen to open bfile object , a failure occurs .but the situation does not happen when i use a local diretory like 'd:\sharepath\temporary'.the most puzzling thing is that when i use dbms_lob.FILEISOPEN to check whether i can access the file ,it returns 1 which means succeed . And dbms_lob.GETLENGTH() also returns the right value.
here is the testing code:
declare
     pFile bfile;
     sDir varchar2(255);
     sFileName varchar2(255);
     bExist integer := 0;
     Amount Integer := 4000;
begin
     sDir := 'SRC_PATH';
     sFileName := 'ele_onlinedoc.ico';
     pFile := bfilename(sDir, sFileName);
     --checking file existence
     bExist := DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS(pFile);
     if bExist = 1 then
          dbms_output.put_line('File Exist');
     else
          dbms_output.put_line('File Not Exist');
     end if;
     --check file size
     Amount := dbms_lob.Getlength(pFile);
     dbms_output.put_line(TO_CHAR(Amount));
     if dbms_lob.FILEISOPEN(pFile) = 1 then
          dbms_output.put_line('File is already Opend');
     else
          dbms_output.put_line('File is closed');
     end if;
     dbms_lob.fileOpen(pFile,dbms_lob.file_readonly);
     dbms_lob.fileclose(pFile);
EXCEPTION
     When VALUE_ERROR then
          dbms_output.put_line('Exception Value_error');
     When OTHERS then
          dbms_output.put_line('Exception OTHERS');
          dbms_output.put_line(to_char(SQLCODE));
          dbms_output.put_line(sQLERRM);
end;
OUTPUT:
File Exist
1078
File is closed
Exception OTHERS
-22288
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
we can see that file is detected and also we can get the right size(1078 byte) ,
but fail to open the file.
so what`s the problem .
thanks!

ORA-22288: file or LOB operation string failed string
Cause: The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.
Action: See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed information. Also, verify that the file or LOB exists and that the necessary privileges are set for the specified operation. If the error still persists, report the error to the DBA.

FILEOPEN failed:ORA-22288 and LFI-00108
