Granting Write rights to an ORACLE directory entry

Hi
I got some problems with granting Write rights to an ORACLE directory entry on a 8.1.7.0.0 Database.
When I try grant write rights:
grant write on directory dump_dir to IDM;
This results in ORACLE error ORA-22928: invalid privilege on directories
There are no problems with read rights:
Granting read works ok.
The directory entry exists, typing:
select * from dba_directories;
gives...
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------ DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS DUMP_DIR
/home/track/export
v$version states that ORACLE 8.1.7.0.0 Production version is being used.
Hope you can help, Thanks.

Cretaion of UTL.File in Oracle 10G and directory entry in Ora.ini file

Hi,
Kindly advise me if:
(!) we can create a directory and log file in this directory on some other server instead of creating it in the file system of the server where the Oracle 10G database is residing?
Created directory in Oracle using create or replace directory command.
My package will be creating a log file using UTL.File in the above directory.
I want to create this directory on some other server to save my log file/s. Is this possible?
(2) Also, let me know in Oracle 10G, do we need to add the directory entry (mention above in #1) in the Ora.ini file on the Oracle 10G server?

Hi,
1) utl_dir are different from directory object
2) you cannot create directory on remote server and there is no need to write directory entry on oracle init file (not ini..)

Grant write on directory, fail!!

Hello,
I am executing the follow statement: "grant write on directory my_directory to public" on Oracle 8i and do not obtain.
When I obtain to grant the privilege READ but tthe no WRITE!!
Why I do not obtain grantee the privilege WRITE to PUBLIC on Oracle 8i???
Eder.

You should not be writing to the directory structure where the Oracle binaries are installed via utl_file. Bad practice to say the least.
See the utl_file_dir parameter in your Oracle 8.1.7 Reference manual for how to setup output destinations for utl_file. Do not use "*" as doing so is a security issue.

Insufficient access rights registering Oracle Directory Integration Server

Hi all!
following steps IÂ´ve done to use the Oracle Directory Integration Server.(IÂ´ve installed Oracle 10g infrastructure - OID is running - IÂ´m also able to apply successful with ODM and orcladmin account)
- oidctl connect=mydb1 server=odisrv instance=1 stop
- odisrvreg -h localhost -p 389 -D cn=orcladmin,cn=Users,dc=localhost;dc=com -w ,pass
where pass is the password of orcladmin.
-> now I get the following error:
registering..
Error javax.naming.NoPermissionException [LDAP:error code 50: Insufficient Access Rights]; remaining name 'cn=odisrv+orclhostname=maschine,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory' !
Any idea ??
Thanks for all help & comments.

I have gone through the documentation for creating the script. But there is one thing which I am not able to understand i.e. Subscription Parameters.
Can anyone tell me the use of subscription parameters? What is the role of subscription parameters in Oracle Lite and External Authentication.

How can I write more than 32k file in oracle directory

Hi experts,
I am struggling while I write more than 32k file size in oracle directory, and throws an error ‘ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error, like this.
This is my procedure
declare
l_s_filename   UTL_FILE.file_type;
begin
   l_s_filename := UTL_FILE.fopen ('INFO_MIGRATION', 'finfinne.txt', 'W');
FOR rec
      IN ( SELECT SQL_REDO
              FROM V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS
             WHERE seg_owner <> 'SYS' AND username = 'GENTEST'
             AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE '%_TEMP'
                   AND OPERATION IN ('UPDATE','INSERT','DELETE')
          ORDER BY TIMESTAMP)
   LOOP
      UTL_FILE.put_line (l_s_filename, rec.SQL_REDO);
   END LOOP;
   UTL_FILE.fclose (l_s_filename);
end;can any please help me how can I overcome this problem
Thanks,
Arun

You can write by breaking it into small chunks. Also you can try to use DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.CLOB2FILE. For UTL_FILE the code snippets may looks like
-- Read chunks of the CLOB and write them to the file
-- until complete.
   WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len
   LOOP
      DBMS_LOB.READ (rec.l_clob, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
      UTL_FILE.put_line (l_file, l_buffer, FALSE);
      l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
   END LOOP;

SUN/Oracle directory user entry DN rename (move)

Hi,
Version FIM2010R2SP1 with latest publicly available hotfix rollup applied.
Use case: Legacy enterprise directory (SUN iPlanet 5.2) has users in different (ou) branches under the same tree depending on their current job. If they are transferred to another part of the organisation in the HR system, the requirement is to
move their user entry in this directory into a different ou.
MA/Connector: Out of the box Sun/Oracle directory MA
e.g. (dn) uid=hsmith001, ou=Sales,o=MyOrg.com
moved to:
(dn) uid=hsmith001, ou=Cleaners,o=MyOrg.com
When the export is run to the connected directory, the "move"
does actually happen in the connected source (the SUN directory server). So far so good.
The connector space object is now marked as 'Awaiting export
confirmation' (which is meant to occur on the next import).
When an import is run, FIM creates a new connector space object with the new (renamed) dn but retains the existing object . At the same time it reports an error "ambiguous-import-flow-from-multiple-connectors" because it is seeing
two objects with the same RDN (uid=hsmith). It has marked the original CS object for deletion.
On the next synch, it says it has successfully deleted the original CS Object, however it is still there (and with the same anchor guid).
It appears that with this connector connected to Sun Directory v5.1 and newer , you don't get to choose which attribute(s) you use for the anchor - it chooses the dn.
It's puzzling why this issue exists in a technology set that has been around for years, so we are assuming that there is workaround or solution to this problem.
N.B. This problem has been replicated on two completely independent environments by different people in our organisation.
Any help/advice/suggestions would be most welcome.
David.

We appear to have resolved this.
Because the sun directory MA isn't the authoritative source for the Person object then the delete failed because the cs object was still connected to the MV object (unfortunately it failed silently).
The dn and the anchor being the same (forced by the MA) FIM does an add (for the new renamed object) and delete (for the existing object). At least that's our interpretation.
The solution is to use an MV extension and in code, disconnect the existing cs object and connect to the directory server and do the move (outside of FIM's knowledge.). Then everything will line up on subsequent import, sync as the disconnected cs.object
which is no longer reflected in the connected source will be deleted.
Maybe someone has a better description of this.

9.2.0.6 OUI cannot write to its own installation directory

I would like to install the 9.2.0.6 patchset on a freshly installed 9.2.0.4_linux_x86_64 (AMD). The system is RedHat EL AS 3. I have installed j2re1.4.2_07 (because the Java brought by Oracle does not even start the VM ...) and edited the ./install/oraparam.ini to use our own JRE.
runInstaller tells me that all system requirements are met. But - alas - OUI says that it cannot write into the directory that it created itself (tmp/OracleInstall...). The rights matrix of this directory is drwxr-xr-x oracle oinstall, even if I set umask to 0000. There are several GB free.
The last message is
: file or directory not found
What is going on here (or rather what isn't)? What file is OUI looking for?
Thanks in advance for kind replies

Ivan,
the rights for /tmp were already rwxrwxrwt. Even if I remove the sticky bit, the error remains. I have the strange feeling that this is not a rights problem. Do you have any idea what
: file or directory not found
is supposed to mean? What file is OUI looking for? Does OUI 10.1.0.3.0 check for temporary files of other OUI versions (e.g. OUI 2.2.0.18.0 bundeled with Oracle 9.2.0.4)?
I think I will start from scratch: remove and reinstall 9.2.0.4 and then try the patch installation again.

Oracle directory does not exist problem

db=10g
I have a problem with an oracle directory that I have created.
The database resides on server A
The oracle directory resides on server B named UPLOAD_DIR.
I have created read, write and execute grants to the oracle directory.
I have created an external table that is referencing data from the oracle directory, I can successfully query this table.
I have created a package that inserts data from the external table to another table using a simple insert statement like so wrapped in a procedure:
PROCEDURE insert_prc
AS
BEGIN
INSERT
INTO table_x
( col_name
SELECT col_name
FROM external_table;
END insert_prc;When I attempt to run the procedure I get the following error:
Connecting to the database DB-BEN.
ORA-06564: object UPLOAD_DIR does not exist
ORA-06512: at "MANAGE_BULK_UPLOAD_PKG", line 108
ORA-06512: at "MANAGE_BULK_UPLOAD_PKG", line 913
ORA-06512: at line 7
Process exited.
Disconnecting from the database DB-BEN.Could someone give me some clues as to what the problem could be?

What grants does the user you are running this as have on the ORACLE directory?
They will need read/write.

Oracle DIRECTORY object and subdirectories

As you know, in 9i the use of the UTL_FILE_DIR is being deprecated in favour of Oracle DIRECTORY objects. This is fine for security reasons and administration but there seems to be a problem with subdirectories.
The situation: we are generating literally millions of files using UTL_FILE. These files are going to be stored in one of forty thousand directories (the precise directory is derived from parsing the file's key ID).
In the old days access could be granted simply by setting the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter to /<root>/dir/*
As far as I can see, the Oracle DIRECTORY does not support subdirectories. Is there any way of avoiding the creation of forty thousand CREATE DIRECTORY statements and a concommitant number of GRANT statements?
Oracle 9.2, any suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers, APC

Just curious Andrew-- are there things in the UTL_FILE package that you don't find implemented better in Java's I/O classes? I wouldn't claim to be the world's leading expert on Java I/O, so I won't comment on the specifics of this. Generally I think using Java to re-write a piece of existing native functionality is a hard one to sell:
(1) Java tends to run slower than native code
(2) It's a chunk of work, and my PM is already breathing down my neck.
However, I might do this as a hobby project. If I do, I'll let you know how it turns out :)
Cheers, APC

Remove an oracle home entry from the central repository

Does anyone know how to remove an oracle home entry from the central repository (inventory.xml file), after the oracle home in question has been deleted. It is left behind and I want to clean it up.
thanks

I went to the link you have posted and it did not help me.
I cannot get rid of my Oracle Home directory. When I attempt to delete this folder, I
get an error message:
oci.dll ...is write protected or in use..
So I deleted this oci.dll file. Then I rebooted and tried to delete the OraHome directory (folder)
again, and I get the SAME error!!
Thanks for any advice.

DRG-11513: unable to open or write to file /home/oracle/mydocs/....

Hi @all,
i've read all the dócumentations i've found in the net but unfortunatly the Indexing of my filestored documents fails every time...
So what i've done is the following:
--Step 1 Create User
--The following SQL command creates a user called MYUSER with a password of myuser_password:
drop user textuser;
CREATE USER TEXTUSER IDENTIFIED BY TEXTUSER;
--Step 2 Grant Roles
--The following SQL command grants the required roles of RESOURCE,CONNECT, and CTXAPP to TEXT_USER:
GRANT RESOURCE, CONNECT, CTXAPP TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_CLS TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_DDL TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_DOC TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_OUTPUT TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_QUERY TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_REPORT TO textuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON CTX_THES TO textuser;
begin

end;
begin
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('COMMON_DIR','PATH','/home/oracle/mydocs');
end;
begin

end;
create table mytable(id number primary key, docs varchar2(2000));

commit;
create index myindex on mytable(docs)

(unable to open or write to file /home/oracle/mydocs/Zwischenbericht1.doc )
I gave an chmod 777 on the document "Zwischenbericht1.doc"
So what can i do?????
I use Oracle 10.2.0 on Suse Linux 9.2
I'm very happy about Ideas and helpfull advices.
Thanks a lot regards Julius

Hallo Barbara,
thanks a lot for your help!!!
I've noticed that it is necessary to create the user textuser as ctxsys. So i've done like you recommended but unfortunately the result is the same.....
I added an utl_file Path to my SPFILE. (utl_file_dir= /home/oracle/mydocs) as you can see below. (is it necessary to something else to the spfile which i haven't noticed at all???
After that i tried to set up all by using sqlplus for having the possibility to show the results.
Below you can see the statements, the connect-Changes (ctxsys/textuser)
and the echo .
Do you or somebody else have an idea what i can do additionally to get this working???
Thanks a lot and regards Julius
