Specifying Directory path while creating Oracle Directory

Hi All,
I would like to know the restriction applies on directory path while creating oracle directories.
shold directory exist on local server? What about remote locations?
Please share your thoughts.

It is only when oracle comes to use that directory object that it will need to exist otherwise you'll get an error. Oracle doesn't check the path upon creation of the directory object itself.
The directory object should point to a path that is visible from the database server such that, if you were logged directly onto the server itself, you could access that directory from there (and preferably without UNC paths, as Oracle has been known to have issues with those in some versions). Typically the directory will be on the server itself, but if it must be on a remote location it will need to be mapped as if it is a local directory. You can't expect Oracle to hack across the security of a network and break into another machine to access it's directories without explicit permission having alreayd been granted at the operating system level.

How to give network path while creating oracle directory.

I have created

Help how to give network path while creating oracle directory.
--when i give local machine path then it will create at local machine where oracle is installed. but not able to create at other machine.
Zakir

Well for starters your directory object is called TESTDIR and in your fopen statement you are referring to TEST2DIR.
On top of that I'm not sure oracle is happy to refer to network locations. I think you have to map it to a regular drive mapping (shared directory) type path. Can't say I've every tried to do it though.

Wrong path while creating Home-directory

Hello,
i hope i am in the right directory for my question!
Under Leopard Server I set up an DNS Server wich works quite good so far...
When i try to set up the Home-directory for an new user the networkpath is always wrong.
My normal server adress is : "hale.school.private" the Usergroupmannager always set "afp://hale.private/user"!
Where can i change this?

_*Here an Copy of my changeip command:_*
+hale:~ Administrator$ sudo changeip -checkhostname+
Password:
+Primary address = 192.168.2.107+
+Current HostName = hale.school.private+
+DNS HostName = hale.school.private+
+The names match. There is nothing to change.+

Maximum length of the Path that can be given while creating a directory

Hi
I would like to know the maximum length of a path that can be given in solaris?
e.g i have to create a directory like this
mkdir /a/b/c..../z ]---> what can be the max length ?
in the same way while reading a path also.
i heard something like getconf PATH_MAX .But i dont know what is this used for.
the value i got when i executed the above command is 1024 ]-->what is this value?
Thanks in advance

e.g i have to create a directory like this
mkdir /a/b/c..../z ]---> what can be the max length ?Very long in some sense. But mkdir will probably fail if handed a string longer than PATH_MAX.

Validating datafile directory path before creating it

Hi,
Is there a way to validate the datafile path when creating a tablespace. The creation of tablespace is done through Java/JDBC application.
Before attempting creating of the tablespace i would like to validate the path of the datafile provided is correct or wrong. Based on that the same can be specified to user to change the data file path.
Please let me know if there is a way.
Otherwise i am thinking of creating and deleting a test tablespace with the provided datafile path.
Thanks,
Krishna

Sybbrand Bakker,
Thanks for your critical analysis of the approach. There is a requirement for creating tablespace during install of the product. The prerequisites that are required for the product are created upfront during the installation. There is a chance for typos during entering the datafile path. So it is very critical for me to know if there is a way let me know to validate the datafile path through SQL.
Thanks,
KrishnaWhile I agree with Sybrand's point about the wisdom of such an approach, if you are bound and determined to take the road to Database Hell, I'd suggest that you check it before it gets to SQL. You are having to capture the path from user input using java, so do the sanity check with java before building your SQL.

CREATE DIRECTORY Does not Create Any Directory in My File System Hard Disk

create or replace directory emp_dir
as 'D:\emp_direc';
Main Question:
*1. Transaction succeeded, but i have not seen emp_direc created in my D: drive. I'm running Vista Home Edition x32. Any idea why directory does not show up?*
Optional:
Extra info:
after creating a directory i did: - avoid comment sign
--create table oldemp ( fname char(25), lname char(25) )
--organization external
--(type oracle_loader
-- default directory emp_dir
-- access parameters
-- ( records delimited by newline
-- nobadfile
-- nologfile
-- fields terminated by ','
-- (fname position(1:20) char,
-- lname position(22:41) char)
-- location ('emp.dat')
--parallel 5
--reject limit 200;
Table created successfully, then I did
describe oldemp;
Name NULL Type
FNAME CHAR(25)
LNAME CHAR(25)
2 rows selected
Extra questions:
*2. emp.dat carries all the table data which can make data more portable to different oracle servers. However, it is one time operation, once table is populated, i can not update, insert, delete any rows. Thats what i know, if i'm wrong please let me know. If what i said is true, just confirm it if you don't mind...*
*3. Parallel 5, allows five oracle servers to deal with the emp.dat file at the same time. So won't there be any conflict! Maybe one server wants to read a certain data while the other server wants to delete it. Can you clarify please....*

<snip>
From the fine SQL Reference Manual found a tahiti.oracle.com, in the prerequisites for the CREATE DIRECTORY command:
For file storage, you must also create a corresponding operating system directory, an ASM disk group, or a directory within an ASM disk group.
Your system or database administrator must ensure that the operating system directory has the correct read and write permissions for Oracle Database processes.
Privileges granted for the directory are created independently of the permissions defined for the operating system directory, and
the two may or may not correspond exactly. For example, an error occurs if sample user hr is granted READ privilege on the directory object but
the corresponding operating system directory does not have READ permission defined for Oracle Database processes.

Get directory path. Just the directory path, without the file name.

Hi,
I need to export a file from a table in SAP to a directory in the PC. So i need to get a directory path.
I've been reading the threads but all the answers refer to functions F4_FILENAME, WS_FILENAME_GET, KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4 or to the method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG.
But all of them require to select a file to close the window.
What I need is to get the path to the directory, not to a file.
For example:
I just need to get:
C:\TEMP
and not:
C:\TEMP\file.doc
Please help.
Thanks.

Pablo, use cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse.
Refer this code:

If the error message is correct, it means that no listener is running on port 100.
Where did you get the URL http://localhost:100/idc_new/idc ?
Is UCM using port 100 as it's standard port?
What happens if you try to open this in a browser (running on the localhost machine)?

Thanks very much, Roger. That's very kind of you. The answer was very helpful. I've changed the host and realm accordingly, and altered the Authentication Type to BASIC (previously NATIVE).
When I now try a crawl of UCM, it fails and the log file provides the debugging info listed at the bottom of this message. I've tried to research the exception type and have experimented by altering a few configuration values, but have so far failed to resolve the issue. Are you able to hazard a guess as to what could be causing it?

How can i specify username/password while creating a virtual directory

Hi,
i m trying to create a virtual directory in 9iAS on a mapped drive. How can i specify which username password to use to enable to connect to the network mapped drive. Is there any way where we can specify username / password ???
thanks
Unmesh

9iAS R1
Run the report service as a local account with administrator rights.
On the target server, create a local account with the same user name and password.
Now you can use the hidden shares ($) for example:
&destype=file&desname=\\servername\d$\report_output\report.pdf
9iAS R2 and 10g
Pretty much the same thing except by default, the report server runs inline. I have not been able to get the entire service to run as a particular user. To get around this, I created a report server service and do not run the reports in process. It uses the separate service.
rwserver -install rep90_name
edit <ORACLE_HOME>\reports\conf\rwservlet.properties file.
SERVER_IN_PROCESS=NO
SERVER=rep90_name
Edit service for rep90_name and change it to run as local administrator user you created on both servers and then start the service.

while the problem seems to be with your TM disk you can try repairing both of them from the install DVD. insert the DVD and reboot normally. hold "c" at the chime. you'll be booted into leopard installer. once past the language selection screen choose 'disk utility" from Utilities menu at the top.

Integration directory problem while creating business service

HI,
CURRENTLY I AM FACING A PROBLEM IN INTEGRATION DIRECTORY. WHEN I TRY TO CREATE A BUSINESS SERVICE INSIDE THE SERVICE WITHOUT PARTY WHICH I AM TAKING AS A SENDER, I AM UNABLE TO GET THE SOFTWARE COMPONENT VERSIONS IN THE SENDER PARAMETERS.
IF ANYONE CAN GIVE THE COMPLETE CONFIGURATION STEPS FOR SENDER AND RECIEVER SYSTEM THAT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL.
BEST REGARDS,
MONA

Hi Mona,
Let me explain you in detail:-
First, Activate the Change List in the Integration Repository once the design objects are complete. By activating the change list, the object becomes available for Configuration in the Integration Directory.
Secondly, to transfer Integration scenario from Integration Repository - you need your Integration Scenario to be created correctly and when you run this wizard you actually pull the Integration scenario in the Integration directory.
You also have the option of 'Configuration Wizard'.
This tool is a wizard for creating your Recevier Determination, Receiver Agreement, Sender Agreement and Interface Determination. For this tool, you do not need the Integration scenario
It is not mandatory to use any of these tools to configure your scenario.
All you have to do for configuring your scenario is
1. Create Business system/Business service
2. Create Communication Channel
3. Create Receiver Determination
4. Create Interface Determination
5. Sender Agreement
6. Receiver Agreement
I hope this provides you a solution.
Regards.
