Unable to remove *.log files using utl_file.fremove

Hi,
I want to remove .log files using the below command
I want to remvoe all the *.log files but its remvoing only one .log file
utl_file.fremove(location => dir_name, filename => log_file_name);
Any help will be needful for me

In the documentation for your unknown version of oracle you can view the definition of utl_file.fremove.
Everywhere it states utl_file.fremove removes a file, not 1 or more, and the documentation doesn't discuss the use of wildcards.
It seems like the question could have been prevented by reading docs (which almost no one here does), and you need to use Java to address your requirement.
Personally I wouldn't misuse Oracle to perform O/S tasks.

Unable to read the file using UTL_FILE Dir

I need to read/write a file from/to the operating system through PLSQL Package. I used UTL_FILE package to do the same. In the application server the utl_file_dir(/usr/tmp in my system) is created as a softlink to database server.
oI want to run this package through the application server. However I am unable to read and write the file to the operating system.
I just wondering it is not reading/opening the file from the server. Please suggest me how to modify my code.

Hi,
How to check if it is end of file or not? I have the following function which is working fine in my win2003 server std 32bit and Oracle10g Database R2 Standard Edition one 32bit. HOwever, when I deploy to production server which is 64bit OS and database, it gives error at UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(fptr, tmp);
Any idea why it behaves like that?
     FUNCTION readFile (
          inHTML OUT CLOB,
          path IN VARCHAR2,
          htmlFile IN VARCHAR2
     ) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
     fptr utl_file.file_type;
     tmp VARCHAR2(5023);
     bufferlen BINARY_INTEGER;
     BEGIN
          fptr := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(path, htmlFile, 'r');
          DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(inHTML, TRUE);
          DBMS_LOB.OPEN(inHTML, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READWRITE);
          LOOP
               UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(fptr, tmp);
               if tmp is not null then
                    tmp := tmp || CHR(10);
                    bufferlen := LENGTH(tmp);
                    DBMS_LOB.WRITEAPPEND(inHTML, bufferlen, tmp);

               RETURN TRUE;

Creating Error log files using UTL_FILE package on a remote machine

Database Version: 10g Release2
OS Platform: Sun Solaris
I have been asked to log errors to OS files rather than tables. So, i wanted to use UTL_FILE package. But the client doesn't want to store these files on the same server where the database is running(as specified in UTL_FILE_DIR). Is there a way i could get these files created on a remote machine(client).

I believe what others are suggesting is that your stored procedure continues to log to a table and a separate process be created that runs on the machine you want the file to be created on which reads the log table and writes to a log file.
If that is not an option, can you expose the directory on the remote machine you want to write the file to as a file share that can be mounted by the database server? If you can, you could write errors there using UTL_FILE. However, it would probably be a bad idea. If you're logging an error already, that implies that something has gone wrong. Making an error logging process dependent on a remote server being available and properly mounted with appropriate privileges at the instant the error occurs just creates more sources of failure that would prevent you from logging an error, which would prevent you from being able to debug the problem or even know it existed without a report from a user.

How to remove log file on maxdb

Hi,
I have installed IDES ECC 5.0 on MaxDB 7.5. I have 4 files size of 1 GB and I would like to remove it.
Is it possible to remove log files without Complete Data Backup procedure in Database Manager?
Is it helpfull to switch database in Overwrite Log Mode?
We use a testing sistem without needs for recovery procedures.
Regards,
Aleksandar

Hi,
you should not delete the logvolumes.
For your case it would suffice to switch on the auto-overwrite mode of the log.
You can do this most conveniently by using the Database Manager GUI.
1. Put the DB instance in state ADMIN
2. Goto 'COnfiguration' -> 'Log Settings'.
3. From the wizard select 'Overwrite Mode...' and follow the described follow-ups.
Kind regards,
Roland

How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file

Hi,
How to read a tab seperated data from a text file using utl_file...
I know if we use UTL_FILE.get_line we can read the whole line...but i need to read the tab separated value separately.....
Thanks in advance...

It is then up to you to split that string up (search for split string on this forum for methods) into it's individual components.
If the text file contains a standard structure on each line, i.e. it is a fixed delimited structure, then you could use external tables to read the data instead.

Hi TDN,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using TFS 2013 Update 4 and VS 2013 Update 4?
According the error message, it seems TFS Server think this file is not changed.
After step 8, if there’s the edited icon shows on your testfile1.txt in Source Control Explorer?
Please click Refresh button in your Source Control Explorer, then re-edit your testfile1.txt file and try check-in again.
And try to reproduce this scenario on your another client(VS 2013 installed), check if this issue can be reproduce on another client or not.

How to read HTML files using UTL_FILE

HI Hareesh,
i have gone through that blog.
i tried it...but i am getting mapping error no receiver determination fond because there are so many excel files.
my data is available on sharedString.xml but also it is in not same order.
i have no clue how to handle this part form the blog.
"This way our mapping will receive all data from the sheet in an XML format. The only thing that's left is to create an XSD file from the XML file we received in order to be able to use it in the mapping and as our Service Interface and we can proceed with mapping. As you can see from the sheet.xml files all the data is placed with column name and row number so it's not that difficult to map it to an table type format using the Message Mapping only (no java, abap mapping required)."

How can I log BT device IDs names in a log file using Toshiba BT stack

Hi,
without Microsoft stack I can't use a lot of freeware programs (BluetoothView.exe, BluetoothCL.exe, BTScanner for Windows) to "catch" bluetooth devices in a log file.
How can I log bt device ids/description names in a log file using Toshiba Bluetooth stack?
Thank you

I've just contacted Toshiba here:

There are other solutions for Windows XP or Toshiba SDK is the only one?

Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011. I don't know if it's related or not, but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions? I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print. Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network, the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
Good Luck!
