Oracle 9i UTL_FILE.FOPEN throwing READ_ERROR

Hi
while running the package containg UTL_FILE.FOPEN
I am getting an error for reading the file on this statement :
v_file_handler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(i_directory_path,i_file_name,'R');This happens in UNIX ,LINUX and windows NT server .
kindly suggest , whether this is an OS error (technical problem) or something else .
thanx in advance ,
Ashutosh .

Hi
the UTL_FILE.FOPEN only opens an existing flat file on your OS , the UTL_FILE.GET_LINE reads from the file.
many reasons to generate a read error .
the file can be corrupted, the file doesn't exists or you havent configured the UTL_FIL_DIR parameter in the init.ora file which should be on the machine where the database is.
make sure you have the correct file name and the parameter is set.
also try to handle the exception.
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20204, SQLCODE || ' ' || SQLERRM);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_filehandle);
like this you can get the exact error code and message.

Error while using UTL_FILE.FOPEN

sir,
when i write procedure using utl_file.fopen i am getting error as it must be declared PLS-00201. what mistake, i am doing.
yours
dr.s.r.bhattachar

i was under the impression that there will be a moderator who will redirect the question even by mistake we post? is it not?Absolutely not. On the APEX forum we are in the fortunate position of having members of Oracle's APEX team actively involved, but neither they nor any of the other contributors perform the role of moderator or have administrative access to the forum system. The OTN team who do only really perform "moderation" when there has been a breach of the OTN Terms and Conditions.
If your question has obviously been posted in the wrong forum, or someone thinks you will get a better response elsewhere then generally they'll suggest this, as above.

Problem in using UTL_FILE.FOPEN with filename containing accent characters

select value from nls_database_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';
VALUE
AL32UTF8
declare
l_output UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
filename varchar2(100) := 'Avenue des Champs-Élysées.txt';
begin
l_output := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ('UPLOAD_DIR', filename, 'W');
utl_file.put_line (l_output, 'Testing');
utl_file.fclose(l_output);
end;
The file in the UPLOAD_DIR becomes "Avenue des Champs-Ã‰lysÃ©es.txt"
can anyone tell me what NLS settings I should use in order to create file with correct filename ?

symplik wrote:

If there is a mismatch between what you do in your code in Oracle, and what the o/s is configured for, then this type of "+translation+" error is to be expected.

Query Regarding UTL_FILE.fopen() -

Guys hope you all doin well-
I am using Oracle 9i release 2 -
I am having problem while i am trying to open a file using the UTL_FILE builtin package -
I created the directory as well where the file is located, that i want to access
While i am executing the utl_file.fopen function returns record
location in varchar2 ,
filename in varchar2 ,
open_mode in varchar2 ,
max_linesize in binary_integer default
returns the following error ORA-29283: invalid file operation
The description of the error i found is:
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
Cause: An attempt was made to read from a file or directory that does not exist, or file or directory access was denied by the operating system.
Action: Verify file and directory access privileges on the file system, and if reading, verify that the file exists
The file exists and the user has the privileges to access the file too - but still having problems
please help -
if any buddy has the idea please share -
Thanks
Y.V.

Hello Y.V.
Have you set the parameter utl_file_dir? Please check. In most of the cases the problem is because of this parameter
You can set it to directory that you want to access. Or else you can set it to * (which means) that UTL_FILE would be able to read from any directory on which Oracle Binary Owner has got access. Please be careful when setting this to *
To check the parameter use query:
select name,value from v$parameter
where name ='utl_file_dir';

Oracle XE - UTL_FILE - shared printer

Hi,
I am trying to recreate a production environment on XE.
I am trying to send a print command to a shared printer (share name label01).
The machine running the XE database is called cobrademo.
When I try the following command utl_file.fopen('\\cobrademo\label01', 'test.txt','w'), I get ora-29280 invalid directory path.
When I change the directory to a directory on the cobrademo machine it works fine.
The solution of mapping util_file to a shared printer is also working in production.
The XE service is running as a user called OracleDBA, that has also been granted access to the shared printer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

When I try the following command utl_file.fopen('\\cobrademo\label01', 'test.txt','w'), I get ora-29280 invalid directory path.2 basic issues. The Oracle server needs to be able to resolve that NetBIOS hostname to an IP address. Secondly, the current Windows user that is running the Oracle server process, needs to have access to that UNC (read and write in your case).
A simple method to test is to logon as that Windows user (usually <i>Oracle</i>) on the Oracle database server. Open a command console window. Type the following:
+{noformat}net view \\cobrademo{noformat}+
If this fails, then get the IP address of that cobrademo server and add the following like to c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\lmhosts :
<i><ipaddress> cobrademo </i>
If the net view command works, attempt to access (read, write or map) the NetBIOS share/service called label01. E.g.
+{noformat}echo "This is a test" > \\cobrademo\label0{noformat}+
This needs to work in an automated fashion - thus no keyboard/user input such as specifying a username and/or password to make the NetBIOS calls and access work.
PS. Note that this is not a question related to either the SQL or PL/SQL languages. Please choose an appropriate forum for your question's subject matter in future. Thanks.

Cannot create a file using UTL_FILE.FOPEN

Dear All,
I am using this syntax for creating a file in window
i have declare this like this
l_file_id UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_file_name := 'DHL_'||110570284||'_'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'ddmmyyyy')||'.txt'
l_file_id :=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('C:\D2R',l_file_name,'W');
Is this syntax work?
My database version is oralce 10g
Thanks

First of all, UTL_FILE is PL/SQL package and is executed on database server side, not on client side. Therefore, it is trying to create file in directory C:\D2R on database sefrver. So if you want to create file in directory C:\D2R on your client box - you can't. Next point - you are specifying directory explicitly which old and obsolete syntax. It requires, for security reasons to add C:\D2R to init.ora parameter UTL_FILE_DIR, otherwise UTL_FILE will raise an error. You should use directory objects:
CREATE DIRECTORY dir AS 'C:\D2R';and grant READ/WRITE on it to users. Then use:
l_file_id :=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('DIR',l_file_name,'W'); -- use directory name in upper caseAnd keep in mind, as I already mentioned UTL_FILE is PL/SQL package and is executed on database server side which means it runs under OS user oracle. Therefore OS user oracle must have write permission on C:\D2R.

UTL_FILE.FOPEN in PL/SQL

Hi,
I want to use UTL_FILE.FOPEN in PL/SQL procedure. I keep getting an exception when I try to open the file.
FDebug := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('D:\SQL', 'debug.txt', 'w');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(FDebug, 'Hello World');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(FDebug);
I believe the problem is that the directory is inaccessible.
I read in another post that the UTL_FILE_DIR must be set in the init.ora file. However, I do not have an init.ora file. I am willing to add one but do not know how.
Any help would be aprreciated.
Thank You,
Scott

Up to 8i, Oracle refused to access a file that is not pointed to in the utl_file_dir parameter in the init<sid>.ora file.
In Oracle 9i, in order to access a file, either the utl_file_dir parameter must be set, or one has to create a directory as create or replace directory dir_temp as 'c:\temp';

Oracle 11g : UTL_FILE query

Hi,
I am having 2 server. One server has oracle database while on another one is application server where all the data files and application specific shell scripts are kept. We are connecting to database via the application server.
I am using Oracle 11g:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.6.0 Production
TNS for HPUX: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
I know that using UTL_FILE in PL/SQL procedure we can create file on the server (where oracle is installed).
My requirement is generated some report which will involve writing to more than 2 files simultaneously. I know I can easily do this in PL/SQL procedure.
But my issue is that due to space issue I cannot generate the files on database server and need to generate the same on the application one (client side)
Queries:
1] Is it also possible to create file on client machince instead of server in my case the application server via PL/SQL because I read that in Oracle 11g
UTL_FILE provides file access both on the client side and on the server side.
2] If yes any idea, how is this possible?
3] If not, is there any way by which I can write to 2 or more file simultaneously on the client using oralce. I know SQL*Plus can spool file on client. But it is only one file at a time.
Rgds,
Amol

Looking at the 11g documentation you are probably referring to:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/u_file.htm#BABDEJDH
where it says...
>
UTL_FILE provides file access both on the client side and on the server side. When run on the server, UTL_FILE provides access to all operating system files that are accessible from the server. On the client side, as in the case for Forms applications, UTL_FILE provides access to operating system files that are accessible from the client.
>
This is referring to client installed forms applications where it provides a local UTL_FILE functionality that accesses the local file system. It doesn't mean that UTL_FILE within PL/SQL that is running on the database server can access the client machine's file system as this would also be a breach of network security.

Broken korean characters while using utl_file.fopen

Hi,
I have korean data in a table and I need to extract it out.
Am using utl_file.fopen for this. It extracts, but korean characters are coming broken...

Utl_file.fopen

Hi everyone..
I am using utl_file to write delimited data into text files.In the utl_file.fopen i changed the default l "max line size" to 32767 when i got some error regarding the line size.After changing that that max line size paramaterer,I am getting lot of space after each line.
Does that max line size parameter means that every line "should" be that size? why i am getting lot of space after each line?
question1:
======
How to remove that empty spaces that i got after each line in my text file?
FILEHANDLE := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('TEST_UTL_FILE','file_name.txt', 'W',32767);And i am trying to find the length of the string that i am passing it utl_file.put_line
I am trying to insert that length to a "test" table ,so that i can check the max length of each line that is passing to the utl_file.
I have this insert command in my PL/SQL block
insert into test_number_char (num) values (dbms_lob.getlength(EXTRACTED_STRING)); and the data type of "num" column is number(20,0)
I am getting the following error .

Ok, so that is telling us that you have your queries split over multiple lines?
In that case you need to "switch on" the output of lines from the moment you find a "select" and then switch it off again when you get a line that indicates the end of the select. So let's assume your selects end with a ";" as the last character on the last line of the select, you can do something like this...
DECLARE
f utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(2000);
in_select boolean;
BEGIN
f := utl_file.fopen('TRACE1','DB_ora_1118250.trc.txt','R');
in_select := false;
LOOP
    BEGIN
      UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(f,s);
      if lower(s) like '%select%' or in_select then
        dbms_output.put_line(s);
        in_select := not(s like '%;'); -- stop when we get to ";" at end of a line.
      end if;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN EXIT ;
    END;
END LOOP;
utl_file.fclose(f);
END;
Also i attempted to cut only table name from the output select query.I tried something like o :=substr(s,instr(s,'from')+4);PFB the code and output.Pls let me know where am i going wrong.
DECLARE
2 f utl_file.file_type;
3 s varchar2(2000);
4 op varchar2(1000);
5 BEGIN
6 f := utl_file.fopen('TRACE_EXTRACT','DB_ora_1118250.trc.txt','R');

8 BEGIN
9 UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(f,s);
10 if lower(s) like '%select%' then
11 op :=substr(s,instr(s,'from')+4);
12 dbms_output.put_line(op);
13 end if;
14
15 EXCEPTION
16 WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN EXIT ;

18 END LOOP;

20 END;
21 /
ECT uid,tname,str,acol,hcol,TO__CHAR(u_time,'DD-MM-YYYY
ECTgroup,name,address1,state,country,fax_no,
that's because there is no "from" on those lines, so the result of the instr is 0 and you are adding 4, so you are getting all characters from character 4 onwards.
What you need in conjunction with my above suggestion is something like this...
DECLARE
f utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(2000);
in_select boolean;
BEGIN
f := utl_file.fopen('TRACE1','DB_ora_1118250.trc.txt','R');

        end if;

# Example INIT.ORA file
# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize
# your RDBMS installation for your site. Important system parameters
# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,
# these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
# parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
# INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
# your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
# your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific
# INIT file that points at this file.
# NOTE: Parameter values suggested in this file are based on conservative
# estimates for computer memory availability. You should adjust values upward
# for modern machines.
# You may also consider using Database Configuration Assistant tool (DBCA)
# to create INIT file and to size your initial set of tablespaces based
# on the user input.
# replace DEFAULT with your database name
