Still has ORA-20100 Invalid File Path

I did
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY sqllog as 'c:\sqllog';
SQL> grant write on directory sqllog to public;
Then on c:\sqllog
i have a file called sqllog.txt
but still gives the same error

Here is your answer. You have to set your initialization parameter 'UTL_FILE_DIR' to 'C:\SQLLOG\'. You have to bounce the database to do that. You cannot use an 'alter system' command.
Drop and recreate your directory.
For example,
CREATE DIRECTORY log_dir AS 'C:\SQLLOG\'.
/* I am really vary about this privilege. You are better off limiting the privilege to a select few.*/
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY log_dir TO PUBLIC;
Make the first parameter to the procedure 'UTIL_FILE.FOPEN' to be 'C:\SQLLOG\'.
It should work and add the word 'NICK' to the file.

I am trying to get the content of a trace file generated for me.
Because I don't have privileges to log on the server and copy the trace file for me directly with some os user, I am doing the following:
1. I alter my session trace identifier to easier identify the trace file
ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'Func01';2. I invoke DBMS_MONITOR
3. I run the procedure I want to monitor.
4. I disable the monitoring by calling DBMS_MONITOR
5. At this point I run the following query to identify my trace file:
select u_dump.value || '/' || instance.value || '_ora_' || v$process.spid || nvl2(v$process.traceid, '_' || v$process.traceid, null ) || '.trc'"Trace File"
from V$PARAMETER u_dump
cross join V$PARAMETER instance
cross join V$PROCESS
join V$SESSION on v$process.addr = V$SESSION.paddr
where 1=1
   and u_dump.name = 'user_dump_dest'
   and instance.name = 'instance_name'
   and V$SESSION.audsid=sys_context('userenv','sessionid');It gives me: /ORACLE/MYDB/trace/MYDB_ora_3616822_Func01.trc
I have created directory in advanced on the path where the traces are stored:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY trace_dir AS '/ORACLE/MYDB/trace/';
SELECT * FROM dba_directories WHERE directory_name = 'TRACE_DIR';
Output:
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS     TRACE_DIR      /ORACLE/MYDB/trace/I don't have rights to grant read, write on TRACE_DIR to my user, as I am not logged with SYS.
I created a table to store in it the lines from the trace file:
CREATE TABLE tmp_traces_tab
callnum NUMBER,
line NUMBER,
fileline CLOB
);Then I run the following PL/SQL block to retrieve the content of the trace and store it in the table T:
DECLARE

l_location     VARCHAR2 (100) := 'TRACE_DIR';

/And when I run the code I get the error: ORA-29283 invalid file operation.

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 file path when building

Okay so I try to build a DVD folder and once it gets to the "opening project" part I get an error message that says "invalid file path". I'm going to try and burn it later once I get a chance, just wondering if anyone has any insights before I try.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Ben,
Glad to say (for me), that I have not seen these two errors. Doesn't help you, but I do have one thought. "Invalid File Path," indicates that Encore could not find the path specified. In searching for a solution to that error, I'd check to see if the path, that you designated, exists, exists in the exact spelling that you specify, and that it is available - not on an external that is powered down, not on a network, etc.. Check your spelling religiously. Check your "\'s" your "/'s" and everything about the path. Check in Explorer that the two match, and that that path is available. Put it on an internal HDD and make sure that it is not open in any other program. As a test, Copy a file to it. Open that file. If all goes well, then Delete that test file, before you Export to that folder.
It's probably a matter of dotting the "i's" and crossing the "t's."

Internet Explorer Unsupported video type or invalid file path? HTML 5

Hello.
First I would like to salute all you people out there that answer questions in these forums. Thank you! They have been more helpful than my Web Design class.
Here is my problem. I cannot get Internet Explorer to play my video files. It says Unsupported video type or invalid file path. I have added the .htaccess file for MIME types, and included .mp4, .ogg, and .webm. I have also included a smaller resolution for mobile. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Also if anybody could explain to me in an idiot proof way how to add flash support step by step for this site that would be great. I have searched all over the internet, read many tutorials, used the free code makers, and I still cannot get flash to work.
This is my first website, please go easy on me!

Invalid file path

After upgrading to encore 2 i uninstalled 1.5 and now there is one project I cant open. Every time I get the error message "invalid file path" and then an exit to the Encore startup menu.
I can see the Encore projet folders with all the files in and nothing seems altered.
Any suggestions?
-Jesper

Great!
>BTW, 2.0 & 1.5 can coexist happily on your system.
Just to further clarify that statement, note that although this statement is true, Encore 2.0 projects can't be opened in Encore 1.5. Other than that, happy coexistence. :)

Invalid File Path Names in Mac OS X

Hello,
I am trying to create a Javascript in Mac OS X 10.4.11, however I am having some trouble with what characters are valid in file path names in Mac OS X. Does anybody know where I can get a list of invalid characters that cannot be used in a file name?
Thanks,
james

Any character other than a colon can be used in the name, but additional characters and names may be handled differently if you are interacting with the UNIX shell in the script.

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.

In thsi sceneraio it is giving the below error saying invalid path. But i am giving the right path. And even the file having all permission( 777).
Can any please help me why i am getting this error even if i mentioned the correct path? Is there anything related the permission grants?

Could be privs on OS or database level. Check and see what happens if grant yourself the DBA role. Check if the database software owner (ps -ef | grep pmon) is allowed to write in that directory and/or create a file in that directory. Does the OS make use of ACL's (and/or is, for instance Secure, Linux used)....?

Invalid Directory Path

Hi,
When I execute a procedure as shown below i use to get an error as

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.

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.

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 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

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!

Still has ORA-20100 Invalid File Path
