create directory dir_output as 'D:\Ora_Applications\'
grant read, write on directory dir_output to public
create or replace procedure Write_to_File
IS
f utl_file.file_type;
begin
f := utl_file.fopen('dir_output', 'something.txt', 'w');

utl_file.put_line(f, 'line two: more text');
utl_file.fclose(f);
end;
when i execute the procedure it gives the following error:
ERROR at line 1:

You'll need to create an Oracle Directory object that contains 'C:\SQL' and use that in your UTL_FILE call if you are using a 10g+ version of the database and the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter does not include your path.
CREATE DIRECTORY my_dir AS 'C:\SQL';
GRANT READ WRITE ON DIRECTORY my_dir TO <user>;You can then use the directory object name in the path of your UTL_FILE call.
ORA-29280: invalid directory path Cause: A corresponding directory object does not exist.
Action: Correct the directory object parameter, or create a corresponding directory object with the CREATE DIRECTORY command.>
Hope this helps!

Invalid Directory Path

Hi,
When I execute a procedure as shown below i use to get an error as
<b> "invalid directory path"</b>
exec emp_details('c:\emp\test.txt',100);
The first parameter is the the path where file is stored and the other parameter is the emp code.
After executing the procedure the error message is,
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 18
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 424
ORA-06512: at "emp_details", line 34
ORA-06512: at line 1
but actually the file is located in the mentioned path but still the error occurs.
Please help me in this regard.

Hello
Did you create a directory object or are you relying on utl_file_dir?
You may need to upper case the path if you are using a directory object (I think). Also, utl_file.f_open takes in the path AND the file name, not just the file name on it's own. Are you correctly splitting the file name from the path?
It might help if you can show the relevant parts of the procedure that are failing.

Also tried with UTL_FILE_DIR = *, same outcome...
Thanks in advance,

Look like bug 4477774. A possible workaround, somewhat unsafe, is to set UTL_FILE_PATH to '*', which will require a server restart. You then specifiy the path with unix style '/' rather than dos style '\'. You may also be able to use a path with unix style '/' rather than '*', although the bug description does not make this clear.

Netca result in CRS-0241: invalid Directory path.

I did install clusterware and db binaries. When started netca, got following error...
linux1:(oracle):rac1> netca
Oracle Net Services Configuration:
Configuring Listener:LISTENER
linux1...
linux2...
problem in configuration: Nodes(s): linux1: CRS-0241: invalid Directory path.
Nodes(s): linux2: CRS-0241: invalid Directory path.
Any help appreciated..Thanks...

or Just follow the below steps:
1. As root on each application node, bring in the Oracle environment:
. ~oracle/.bashrc (Linux)
OR
. /home/oracle/.profile (Solaris x86)
2. Change the owner of $CRS_HOME/crs; this prevents error CRS-0241, Invalid directory path:
chown oracle:oinstall $CRS_HOME/crs
3. From an X-Windows application, log into the lowest-numbered application node as the oracle user.
4. Change to the directory that contains the tns information:
cd $TNS_ADMIN
5. If you are going to use an existing database, make a copy of the tnsnames.ora file:
cp -p tnsnames.ora tnsnames.ora.bk
6. Remove the tnsnames.ora file:
rm -f listener.ora tnsnames.ora
7. Run netca, taking all defaults.
Best regards,
Pandian

The correct thing to do is to create a directory object e.g.:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY mydir AS 'c:\myfiles';Note: This does not create the directory on the file system. You have to do that yourself and ensure that oracle has permission to read/write to that file system directory.
Then, grant permission to the users who require access e.g....
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY mydir TO myuser;Then use that directory object inside your FOPEN statement e.g.
fh := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR', 'myfile.txt', 'r');Note: You MUST specify the directory object name in quotes and in UPPER case for this to work as it is a string that is referring to a database object name which will have been stored in uppercase by default.
p.s. as already mentioned by others, this directory must be on your Oracle database server. You can only access client directories if the server itself has a mapping to the client machine itself. Don't expect to provide a path and for the process to access the local client machine of whoever uses it.

Invalid Directory Structure Error

So I recently purchased a Panasonic AG-HMC40 and it's my first experience with a non tape camera. When I tried to get the footage onto my computer Final Cut wouldn't recognize it. It worked in iMovie but I would rather not lose quality by transferring it through that first. When I try to open the folder within the log and transfer screen I get an error message that says that it contains unsupported media or "Invalid Directory Structure." I'm on FCP 6.0.5.

I quite believe it.
Can you exactly describe what you're doing and how FCE behaves?
Do you see a preview of the clips after connecting the camera?
Try to import using iMovie, when this works, it should in FCE somehow, too.
I googled a bit around and found someone having the same problem (but unfortunately in german language).
He has formatted the SD card using the camera, then it worked. But the clips beeing on the SD card before are still lost. But if you backup before, you can convert the .mts files into .mov and then import it into FCE.
Some other possible source of errors:
- is the HF 100 power cable connected for transfer? (it has to be)
- did you see the "mode selection" screen when connecting to your Mac?
- if yes, did you select the "PC mode" there?
- does the USB port you are using work with other devices?
- can you try using an SD Card reader instead of the camera?
- do you see the camera device icon after connecting to your mac?
- can you try it on another Mac if it works? (if not, it may be a manufacturing issue)
At moment no more ideas...

Compiling Media invalid file path error when buring a DVD

Hello,
I have updated to 3.0.2 Premiere Elements and the latest XP Home updates. I had 2.0 and it worked without any problems. I bought 3.0 and have had nothing but problems, I can capture, access files and put a video together but no matter if to file or to DVD I always get this error
"Burn DVD Progress screen"
"Compiling Media invalid file path"
then it all stops and nothing.
Any help or suggestions appreciated, I searched the web for this error and found nothing, when I search here I seem to get every Adobe product comes up but no premiere.
Thank you

I started to do the FAQ to build a clean AVI file. I also re-installed the program, did an update to 3.0.2, defrag. Made sure I had 118gig space. All in order. Still I got the errors. Then I thought perhaps since this pointed to a path that somewhere a path was not correct. So I looked under Preferences - scratch disks - and found they all pointed to the D drive where I had some old Adobe files. It appears the 2.0 version worked when I had the files stored on another partition and 3.0 did not like this. So when I moved everything in Scratch Disk to the same folder on C: where I installed 3.0 things seemed to begin to work.
I tested it by burning to a file and then to an actual DVD and both worked well. I have a quad core chip.
Now the problem seems to be when I edit each end of a clip, "the IN and OUT" the in does not seem to be saved or rendered. When I get to the preview I can still see and hear date prior to the SET IN. I save, re-save and re-render and it still happens. However some clips it works fine.
Thanks again for pointing me in a direction so at least I can start to trouble shoot.

Invalid Servlet Path Error on Creation connection to Application Server

Oracle 11g : Directory and UTL_FILE - ORA-29280: invalid directory path

Hi,
I have Oracle 11g server on a UNIX box and im accessing it through an Oracle client on a windows box.
Im new to File operations in Oracle 11g. Have couple of questions;
1. Can i create a directory in Oracle using CREATE DIRECTORY statment which points to my local machine (windows: on which Oracle client is running).
for e.g. CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY c_temp AS 'd:\test';
2. If i can create such a directory, can i use the UTL_FILE.fopen command to open a file from the windows machine and append some text to it.
Or
We can only create direcories that are present in the Oracle Server?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Above is the output when select * from dca additional data.
I have edited the r_bmw to varchar (32757 BYTE);
however, the same errors still appear. Would I need to change the select statement to a different table...and not dca additional data?
ThanksSo you have created a directory name r_bmw
create directory r_bmw as 'C:\BMW';
grant read, write on directory r_bmw to bmw;And your are querying select * from dca additional data, which doesn't return your recently created directory.... So... what to do what to do.... You should query the all_directories with directory_name = 'r_bmw'.

Invalid File Id Error

Hello,
I am using shell script to run a set of sql scripts againts a 9.2 db.
When the script tries to write a file to a specified location it gives the following error,
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29282: invalid file ID
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 714
ORA-06512: at line 395
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
But if I run the same set of queries in a different box it runs successfully with now issues. We have verified that both versions of Oracle and AIX are one and the same. the directories to which it is trying to write has the same permissions too. Also did a comparison of the objects and didn't see any difference.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jubil

Create directory utl_file errors

I thought that I would be able to answer my problem with all the help I've seen online. I don't seem to be able to.
I have the following code (snippet) below from my procedure:
v_file varchar2(100);
v_direc constant varchar2(30) := 'c:\output\';
v_testfile UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
v_testfile := utl_file.fopen('C:\output', 'JohnsUIICounts.txt', 'w');
open csr_uii;
loop
fetch csr_uii into csr_uii_a, csr_uii_b, csr_uii_c, csr_uii_d;
exit when csr_uii%NOTFOUND;
utl_file.put_line(v_testfile, csr_uii_a || ' ' || csr_uii_b || ' '|| csr_uii_c || ' '|| csr_uii_d);
end loop;
I logged on to SQL Developer and did:
CREATE DIRECTORY V_DIREC AS 'C:\output\';
GRANT WRITE ON DIRECTORY V_DIREC TO PUBLIC;
I got the message back that the directory was created. When I go to the c:\ drive, I don't see the directory.
Any ideas? I've gone through all sorts of iterations like changing the drive from c to e, different folder names, upper and lower case, nothing works.

Thanks. Now that I understand that, I created the directory on the server. I reran the code. I'm still getting:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 33
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 436
I notice that on the Windows Server, when I create the directory (as an admin user), I check on the properties, and it keeps staying read only. I can modify it, but the change doesn't save. I heard something about group permissions. Is it possible that the problem is because of permissions on the server? I would think that might be the real problem at this point.
Thanks,
Victoria
