Reg utl_file

Hi,
i am new to this concept to these packages.
The packages names are UTL_FILE, UTL_HTTP, UTL_SMTP and UTL_TCP
i have an issue from one of my clients that according to audit these should not be
given public privileges to access and should be given to the user who accesses it.
how can i do this.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can revoke the privileges to the next command:
revoke execute on sys.utl_file from public;Then you can give the user permissions:
grant execute on sys.utl_file to USER_WHO_NEEDS_ACCESS;replace USER_WHO_NEEDS_ACCESS with your user.
This needs to be done for all 4 packages.

but still its showing error .can anybody pls help me out...
thanks in advance,

Have you assigned that value in the parameter file of
your database. If not this will give you error.
In your parameter file UTL_FILE_DIRECTORY should be
set to that directory path or as * .
I have to keep saying this, but NO IT SHOULD NOT!!!!
UTL_FILE_DIR parameter is the "old" way of doing things and leaves your operating system open to security issues. You should not use this parameter and more importantly, you should NEVER set that parameter to "*" otherwise someone may gain access to your whole operating system.
The correct way of using UTL_FILE is to create Directory Objects on the database and grant the relevant permissions to the users who require access.

Reg : txt Files in Server directory (UTL_FILE)

Hi Experts,
Suppose, I've placed 5 +.txt+ files (procedure/table creation scripts) in a db server directory.
Is there any way I can loop through each of the files?
I need to pull the content of each file into oracle table using a procedure. So, I'm trying dynamically trying to use External Tables with Execute Immediate inside my proc. Will package UTL_FILE help in this?
Please give some suggestions.
Let me know if you have any concerns.
Ranit B.

As an alternative solution, have you considered using external LOB's? Using this approach could save significant overhead vs. the external tables solution because it doesn't require any schema objects for accessing the txt files (if you use an SQL script instead of a stored procedure).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10796/adlob_bf.htm#1010878
Below is an excerpt from the link the Oracle docs above; this could be used as a starting point. (Substitute your directory name/file name for the BFILENAME arguments.)

How to read a specific value or a portion of text using utl_file.

hi,
I have a small requirement which goes as follows. I have a text file which is a resultof the sql query and it contains 16 columns as PIPE delimited text . I am using the UTL_FILE package concept to read the data. In general when we use the UTL_FILE.GET_LINE we read the entire line of text. But i need to read the 10th column of the query or the PIPE delimited text .
Please advice.
My query goes something like this:
declare
f utl_file.file_type;
s long;
c number := 0;
begin
f := utl_file.fopen('ABC_EXTRACTS','sample1.txt','R');
loop
utl_file.get_line(f,s);
insert into s values (s);
c := c + 1;
end loop;
exception
when NO_DATA_FOUND then
utl_file.fclose(f);
dbms_output.put_line('No. of rows inserted : ' || c);
end;

Why don't you use varchar2 instead of long data type. I doubt you can read a portion from a file using utl_file but after doing the fetch you can do substring over the varchar2 variable and retrieve just the 10th column.
sample sql:
If your DB is 10g or higher, you can use the below regular expression to retrieve value based on your need.
PRAZY@11gR1> select regexp_substr('111|222|333|444|555|666|777|888|999|000|aaa|bbb|','[^|]+',1,10) from dual;
REG
000
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00Btwn, if the text file has fixed number of columns at all time, why don't you use a external table instead?
Regards,
Prazy

Help needed in utl_file

Hi,
I have two groups in data model of my report. I am using utl_file in a formula column of report last group.it's working fine.
but my problem is if customer has more than one invoice lines
then all that lines not comes under only particular customer only at a time.
For example my output is coming like this:
Customer address: 3345 LIMITED-STUDIOS : 00033-45 PARR STREETLIVERPOOLCHESHIRE
Invoice Lines: 0001000402106-JUL-07INV 10.47
Customer address: 3345 LIMITED-STUDIOS : 00033-45 PARR STREETLIVERPOOLCHESHIRE
Invoice Lines: 0001000402713-JUL-07INV 10.77
But I am trying to get output like this:
Customer address: 3345 LIMITED-STUDIOS : 00033-45 PARR STREETLIVERPOOLCHESHIRE
Invoice Lines: 0001000402106-JUL-07INV 10.47
0001000402713-JUL-07INV 10.77
I am using fallowing code in my formula column:
function CF_UTL_FILEFormula return Char is
v_file_data utl_file.file_type;
begin
utl_file.put_line(v_file_data,:SEND_CUSTOMER_NAME:SEND_ADDRESS1:SEND_ADDRESS2:SEND_ADDRESS3:SEND_ADDRESS4:SEND_CITY:SEND_STATE:SEND_COUNTRY_DESC:SEND_POSTAL_CODE);
utl_file.put_line(v_file_data,LN1:CF_LOCATION:C_DELIVERY_DATE:INVOICE_NUMBER:TRX_DATE:c_transaction_type:CD_TRX_AMOUNT);
utl_file.fclose(v_file_data);
end;
Please help me how can I do this?

What's the source of your Summary Column? It's not allowed to choose here the formula column in whcih you reference the summary column back. But another column should work.
As alternativ add a formula column in the upper group with
utl_file.put_line(v_file_data,:SEND_CUSTOMER_NAME:SEND_ADDRESS1:SEND_ADDRESS2:SEND_ADDRESS3:SEND_ADDRESS4:SEND_CITY:SEND_STATE:SEND_COUNTRY_DESC:SEND_POSTAL_CODE);
and remove the same line out of the other formula column.

Mail can't send email from 123-reg accounts

Hi all,
I've got an issue with Mac Mail can’t send email from 123-reg accounts.
I know there is a lot of articles on simular matters and some I have tried out with no luck, others are just speaking a whole other language.
Any help would be greatly recived, here's my situation below:
Running a iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 on OS X 10.8.3
I’m using 3 accounts on Macs Mail client, one is my iCloud account that is working fine and the other two are my 123-reg accounts that I use for business purposes. I’ve been working like this for a couple of years now and about 6 months ago I upgrade my operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
2 or 3 months ago I randomly got a problem where I was unable to send any emails from my 123-reg account, I could only receive emails. I checked my settings and they were all correct and unchanged so I attempted to delete them and recreate the account but with no such luck.
I then decided to check if it was a problem at 123-regs end and attempted to log into web mail. This worked and was able to both send and receive emails so eliminated that possibility.
I also have these accounts set up on my iPhone, so checked if there was any issues and everything was working fine. I then checked my iphone details and made sure the same was on my desktop and still no such luck.
I’ve tried out some of the articles I’ve found on here (the ones written in plain English) still no results. I’m not very IT illiterate and just wondered if anyone else has got any ideas, whether there is something specific with 123-reg accounts and Mac Mail?
Many thanks.

Thanks
I just had another hunt around looking at posts and discovered that it was because I recently changed to BT Infinity and they had a block on.
I didn't even think to question the ISP.

Reg: Message and BPM

Hi
I'm having a scenario where i use a JDBC adapter to extract data from a DB. As a result of the query say, 10 rows are returned as message to XI server. I have a transformation (BPM) set and the receiver(target system) is a file. When i open the file to see its contents i can see only the first record been transfered. The mapping part used for the transformation node is having IF condition. But all the fetched records satisfies the conditions in the mapping.
Pls let me know the corrective step.
reg: Prabhu

Hi,
1)Check the input XML i.e all 10 records are coming into XI . This you can check in SXMB_MONI
2) Then you can test the mapping in the integration Reposiotry .. So now you can get if any mapping problem. For this , check is the occurence of target strcuture is 1..n or 0.n
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/16/xi-how-to-test-your-mapping-in-real-life-scenarios
3) If mapping is correct , then check the RWB->Message Monitoring->Message Display Tool and check the payload.
4) If this is correct, then check the File COntent Conversion of the Receiver File Adapter.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Moorthy

If i uncomment UTL_FIle.Fopen statement, the error text will be the path name and file name.
Can anyone advise as to what should be done to resolve this on XE. It worked fine on 8i.
I have runcatproc.sql and utlfile.sql also
regards
kunal

Hi
On 8i you would have set the UTL_DIR_PATH parameter
in the init.ora file. Did you do this for your XE
database? I hope you are referring to the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter. I have set this parameter to value *.
Although the better approach would be to
create a directory object for the file path, an
option which was introduced in 9i..
Can you please elaborate me on this. I tried declaring the create directory statement in the package, but that didnt help. I have already created one through sql command line. How can i use this directory as an alternative to utl_file

How to create/delete files from filesystem using PL/SQL ? UTL_FILE?

Greetings,
I will start by explaining what i intend to do.
I have an application made in APEX. This application will have among other purposes the managment of pdf files which will reside in the filesystem.
I have questioned the person in charge to keep the pdf files in the database and not in the filesystem but without success.
So the pdf files reside in the filesystem and there is a record in a database table about them. A table keeps all info about the pdf, their location , size and name, creation date etc.
The APEX application will have a mecanism to allow the deletion of the pdf files if an administrator decides.
So it should be possible for an administrator to schedule the deletion of all pdf files whoe creation date is older than 2008 for example
So, how can i achieve that?
After some research i foudn about the UTL_FILE package which seems to have it takes to perform the task in issue.
My idea was to have a script in the operating system which runs nightly and reads a file containing all file names of the pdf to be erased.
The file which contains the names of the pdfs to be erased will be generated by the database a few minutes before.
If there are no pds files to be erased than the file containing the names will simply be empty
Are there any other viable solutions out there?
And as for opening/creating the file withn the pdf names, i use:
UTL_FILE.FOPEN (
location IN VARCHAR2,
filename IN VARCHAR2,
open_mode IN VARCHAR2,
max_linesize IN BINARY_INTEGER)
RETURN file_type;
And as for writing lines (a pdf name per line ), i use;
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE (
file IN FILE_TYPE,
buffer IN VARCHAR2,
autoflush IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
is there a better solution?
thanks all.

Greetings,
I have read that link above, some questions still though.
I will provide some more information.
-First the database is in a windows server.
The windows server has a virtual drive mounted as z:\ <-- this points to a directory in virtual machine, i can manually access/create/delete files manually,i tested.
-Second utl_file_dir is defined as * , in t that enough to cover mounted drives? ( i can't change the init.ora and reboot the db right now :( gotta wait.. )
Do i explicitly have to define utfl_file_dir = z: ?
-Third haven't had the chance to test it on linux or any other operating system, assuming a virtual unit is mounted successfully and that the issues above are solved i should be able to operate on any mounted drive whatever the os, right?
Best regards

Reg: How to Stop Polling of JDBC Adapter without Scheduling the adapter

Dear Gurus,
Here I am having one requirement. My clients wants to send data from JDBC adapter (ORcale System table) to R3 system via RFC.
His Requirement::
1. He is not telling the time of data flow from Oracle server so that based on that we can schedule the adapter in the Communication Channel monitoring (Availablitiy Time Planning) or Else we can Schedule by deciding the setting of the polling interval time.
2. He is telling that When ever he waants to send the data he will place one dummy file in the File Adapter FTP location so that it will became an Indication for u to poll the jdbc adapter and to transfer the data to R3.
3. Untill he keeps the file or gives indication he doesn;t want to communicate with Oracle server due to some security and it s a most important data base he doesn't want to disturb that Oracle Server as so many business are running on that.....
We Proposed::
1. Atleast you need to tell the scheduling time or poll interval time so that we can schedule our adapter.
but he s not accepting for this
2. Atleast U need to give access for Data base to enter one more extra field like STATUS CODE so that we will add one number and we keep on Update in the Update table and based on that Update table statement it will poll.
but he s not even accepting for this
3. Finally we prposed that to create another table in the Oracle SYstem as Dulplicate Table which is similar to Standard Orginal table when ever he wants to pick the data please keep that data in this Duplicate TABle so that JDBC adapter will pick the data from thsi TABLE instead of picking the data from that standard table so that it will not effect any standard table data in the table.
but he s not even accepting for this
We have done some R & D:::
1. WE approached even through BPM and via switch conditions is one scenario
   FILE RECEIVE >SWITCH CONDITION> RECEIVE AND SEND or else EXIT
2. Using correlation in anotehr scenario means correlating File adapter and JDBC and based on one dynamica value it will goes to SEND STEP ( RECE IVE --> RECEIVE --> SEND STEPS )
Even though we know this...concept that...we jsut tried::
In BPM we can control the flow in XI 3.0 but we cannot Stop the Polling of JDBC adapter at backend because one the data comes from FILE adapter it will keep on HOLD untill it receives the JDBC from Oracle then based on the condition or Correlation it will goes futher SEND step means after that file adapter is picking file or not ...what ever it may be JDBC will polls at backend and brings that data to BPM"
Hence sugest me How to Stop Polling of JDBC Adapter without Scheduling the adapter or else using STATUS CODE Update statements in JDBC Tables
Regards:
Amar Srinivas Eli

Hi! All,
Finally I decided to do the scenario in two steps:
1: FILE REQ --> JDBC REQ -->JDBC RES --> FILE RECV
2: FILE RECV --> RFC
But I am getting issue while doing first scenario
Desgn :
I have created 2 Synchronous interfaces :
1) FILE 2 JDBC REQ
In this a) out put message is FILE Req
          b) Input msage:; FILE RES
2} JDBC2FILE RECV
        a) Output mesage;; JDBC REQ
        b) Input Msge :: JDBC Response
Mappings:
1) File REQ-->JDBC REQ
2) JDBC RES-->FILE RES
Interface mappings:
1: FILE 2 JDBC REQ--> JDBC 2 FLE RECV
CONFIGURATION ::
1: One Seder File CC
2: Two reciever CC's one is for JDBC RECEIVER and other s FILE RECEIVER
3; One Sender Agreement
4: 2 Recver agreements
5: One Interface Determination and
6: One RECCV Determination
My Question;;
1. First let confirm whether my development steps are right or not ?
2: Another thing s I am not sure reg Configuration Steps means
whetehr one interface determination and one Receiver Determinations are required or not as these are synchronous Interfaces
3: main Issue is::::
If my scenario s FILE2RFC2FILE then I will get RFC response automatically but here issue is this is JDBC
My reqquirement is By sending one Field from fILE to JDBC REQ it needs to send entire TAbLE records as a Response to file as XML
without having Sender JDBC how can I send the JDBC Res to FILE and If that is the case then again JDBC adapter is polling which is contradict to the client requuirement which i explained above.
pleas suggest me the Detailed steps mainly Colloboration agreements and logical routings and
also explain in detail if i can go for BPM
Also give cleear blogs but before giving make sure that it contains detailed screen shots because aIready gone thorugh
Scenario File-JDBC-RFC
File<-->JDBC Sync coomunication.

Problem with UTL_FILE (please see my last post on this thread)

Hi all,
I'm trying to get the code (procedures, functions, etc) of my schemas. I've tried it using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL but it fails with many objects. Finally, I'm trying to create a procedure to extract the code.
I've created this two procedures:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE spool_code (code IN varchar2, propi IN varchar2) is
CURSOR codigo is
select text from dba_source where name = code and owner = propi order by line;
line varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
open codigo;
loop
fetch codigo into line;
exit when codigo%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(line);
end loop
close;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ext_codigo is
CURSOR objeto is
select object_name, owner from dba_objects where object_type in ('PROCEDURE','FUNCTION','PACKAGE')
and owner not in ('OUTLN','DBSNMP','SYSTEM','SYS','REPADMIN','PERFSTAT','SPOTLIGHT','MONITOR','PRUEBAS','TOAD')
and status='VALID';
nom varchar2(128);
owner varchar2(30);
BEGIN
open objeto;
loop
fetch objeto into nom, owner;
exit when objeto%notfound;
spool_code(nom, owner);
end loop;
close objeto;
END;
And I'm calling from sqlplus to spool it:
SQL> spool Users_code.sql
SQL> exec ext_codigo;
But it don't bring me results...
where is the problem??
Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi,
yes guys, I've set serverout on using the max limit but, always fails with:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: ORU-10027: buffer overflow, limit of 1000000 bytes
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT", line 35

ORA-06512: at "SYS.SPOOL_CODE", line 15
ORA-06512: at "SYS.EXT_CODIGO", line 17
ORA-06512: at line 1
I'm working with a 9i version trying to extract the code to migrate it to a 11g.
In order to avoid the buffer error, I've decide use the UTL_FILE package but I'm having another problem: my procedure now is this
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE spool_code (code IN varchar2, propi IN varchar2) is
CURSOR codigo is
select text from dba_source where name = code and owner = propi order by line;
line varchar2(4000);
out_file UTL_FILE.File_Type;
BEGIN
begin
out_file := UTL_FILE.Fopen('/export/home/oracle', 'Users_code.sql', 'w');
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Error opening file');
end;
open codigo;
loop
fetch codigo into line;
exit when codigo%notfound;
UTL_FILE.Put_Line(out_file, line);
end loop;
close codigo;
UTL_FILE.Fclose(out_file);
END;
The directory exists and the file too but fails with this error:
ERROR at line 1:
**ORA-29282: invalid file ID**
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 714
ORA-06512: at "SYS.SPOOL_CODE", line 23
ORA-06512: at "SYS.EXT_CODIGO", line 17
ORA-06512: at line 1
any idea? about the reason? The file is a text file on the server:
ls -lrt /export/home/oracle/Users_code.sql
-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle dba 0 Aug 29 14:43 /export/home/oracle/Users_code.sql

Line size in UTL_FILE

Hi,
Can someone please tell me what is the max. number of characters that can be written using UTL_FILE in Oracle 8.1.7?

Perhaps I should have been more specific; I wanted to know how many characters can PUT_LINE or PUT function take at one time to write. Well, in 8.1.7, it is only 1000 characters on UNIX platform. Though it is not mentioned anywhere so I am not sure if this is OS limitation. However I had to do a lot of trial and error before e finding this out. Hope this would help people on the forum.
Thanks guys for your help. I know I can always count on you all.
Here is the sample code. In this, although, I had defined a buffer of 4000, but it consistently gave me 'WRITE_ERROR' for PUT_LINE or PUT function, until I reduced the buffer size used with these functions to 1000. Alternatively now I will use PUT function recursively and add NEW_LINE character after the entire buffer is read.
declare
vstr varchar(4000);
file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

select rpad('Testiing',990,'xyz') into vstr from dual;
