Util_file.INVALID_OPERATION

I've got the above error when i tried the following code:
fopen(location,filename,'w');
what does the error mean???
Any help? many thanks!

Hi,
I've already updated the init.ora file and restarted the database. And I'm still having the error..
I've used a mapped directory (h: drive), does that matter?
The following is my codes (it juz a simple write operation):
set serveroutput on
declare
op_file UTL_FILE.file_type;
BEGIN
op_file := utl_file.fopen('h:\output','temp.txt','W');
utl_file.fclose(op_file);
END;

Are you checking the file in right path? I believe that WRITE access has been given to the user on the directory as you are not getting any exception.

UTIL_FILE

Hi Oracle GURUs ,
I have a problem in outputing the content of a text file on the server using UTIL_FILE .When I execute this code , it is creating PL/SQL procedure successfully but without giving the output ....Here is the code :
DECLARE
DATA_LINE VARCHAR2(50);
FILE_HANDLE UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
FILE_HANDLE := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('D:\WORK', 'TEST', 'R');
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(FILE_HANDLE,DATA_LINE);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(FILE_HANDLE);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('READ PAST EOF');
WHEN OTHERS THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(FILE_HANDLE);
END;
My guess is that it is rasing WHEN OTHERS exception .....Am I missing something ...Please help......
TIA

Try to use the following to trap the exception and check if you have setup the parameter utl_file_dir properly ^_^
exception
when utl_file.invalid_path then
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Path');
when utl_file.invalid_mode then

Getting INVALID_OPERATION while using UTL file

Hi,
I have a procedure which makes different UTL files i.e data file, error file and log file for a Purchase order. These 3 sets of files are made for every purchase order.
So suppose in a cursor i find that there are 10 Purchase orders to process, then it should create 30 UTL files 10 sets of 3 files.
But when i run this procedure, after processing 3 PO's i.e after creating 9 files i get INVALID_OPERATION error.
So lets say i have 10 PO's 1 to 10 , i run for first time PO 1,2 and 3 utl files are created and then i get error. Then when i run it again processes PO number 4 to 6 and then again error...
So i want to know is there any restriction on number of UTL files you can create in a single procedure. i want urgent help, appreciate ur quick replies on this matter.
thanks,
Dipin

Hi,
There could be several reasons for this...
1. In inti ora file, what utl file directory was specified? is it 'C:\PLXML\DBDOM'? if not check.
2. Do u have C:\PLXML\DBDOM\Testfile.txt in your directory?
3. If you have above file in that directory and you have opened that file for writing purpose, close that.
Ur program looks ok. Also, dbms_output.put_line will display 255 charcters only(at least in 7.3).

UTIL_File In Remote Node

Hi,
My Problem is that we seperated our AppServer(Solaris) and DBServer(Solaris) and some of my Script uses UTIL_FILE to write file from database,so i mounted My Appserver in DBServer so that it writes the data in Appserver only,now my Mount is working fine still i'm getting Oracle Error
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 488
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
And i have given the Folder Full permission(777) but still no use,
so is that a permission issue or My SP is not working

Hi,
has the user already assigned Write Privilege to the Virtual Directory.
777 is in the OS Level, but in the DB Level, SYS need to grant privilege to the user.

How to rename a file once it is created with util_file utility.

Hi,
A flat file is generated with util_file utility, now we want to rename the file using utilities available with Oracle. Can any body give any solution..?, Any package is available...?
Regards,
G. Rajakumar.

Hi Raja
If you are using Oracle 8i or later version you can easily do it writing a Java stored procedure and calling it,
in your PL/SQL wrapper function.
I recently had a similar problem and did it successfully.
If you need the code along with the wrapper function, I can send it to you on your e-mail.

UTIL_FILE Directory Creation

Is there a way to define a directory tree as usable by UTIL_FILE, and have subdirectories within that tree inherit the permissions?
For instance:
1) Define '/u01/util_area' as a node with which to use UTIL_FILE;
2) Then create a subdirectory '/u01/util_area/new_function', allowing use of UTIL_FILE (without the DBA having to specify the 'new_function' directory)

The answer is NO. You have to create different directory objects in database for your different subdirectoy/directory structures.

Util_File package with multiple users

I am using util_file package to spool data into file . I have two users with different data . I have given access to both the users to execute util_file package .
Now how does my stored procedure knows which user's data to take .
Thanks,

You are asking the wrong question. Your procedure doesn't need to know whose data to take. UTL_FILE file handles are private to the session.
Your application design does need to keep different sessions writing to different files. You can't have both sessions open the same file for writing (or if you do, the results are unpredictable, particularly if both sessions attempt to write simultaneously.
This is exactly the same as when you write to a file from a C program.
Your best options are
1) make the file name contain a username, and each user has his own file
2) write all data to a single file, and protect each write
   - grab a user lock (use DBMS_LOCK package)
   - open the file for append
   - write to the file
   - close the file
   - release the lockHTH

Replacement for UTIL_FILE exception of NO_DATA_FOUND

A few years ago, I had code that processed an exception called: UTL_FILE.NO_DATA_FOUND. In fact, I have used this in cursors as well and have found that this does not work. What is the replacement?

I am responding to my own question. Looks like it was changed to UTIL_FILE.NO_DATA_FOUND to NO_DATA_FOUND.
Sorry for the question.
Thanks

Problem with UTIL_FILE

Hi
I have created a procedure using UTL_FILE.
Before executing the procedure i created a directory as
connect system/system;
grant execute on sys.utl_file to PUBLIC;
alter system set processes=500 scope=spfile;
grant read, write on directory gams to public;
connect san/san;
create or replace directory gams as 'C:\gamsdir';
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Empl
IS
f utl_file.file_type;
begin
f := utl_file.fopen('GAMS', 'test.txt', 'w');
utl_file.put_line(f, 'line one: some text');
utl_file.put_line(f, 'line two: more text');
utl_file.fclose(f);
end;
It gives the errors as
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29283: invalid file operation

ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at "SAN.EMPL", line 5
ORA-06512: at line 1
How can i create the directory?
How can i create the utl_file_dir and how can i set that directory in init.ora?
what can i do?
Any Help???
Thank you

> Can I create the directory in server?
I do not know.. do you have access to the server? Can you logon to the server and access the file system of that server?
> Please tell me indetail.
Assuming that you can logon to that server - simply use a Windows Command Console and the MKDIR command to create the physical directory on the server.
Or use Explorer.
Also remember to make sure that this new directory can be used by Oracle. (e.g. in Explorer right click on the folder and set the permissions for that folder to allow the Oracle windows user to read/write to this folder)

Create or replace the directory locally works:
create or replace directory USER_DIR as 'D:\wkdir';
grant read on directory USER_DIR to USER;
However when creating a directory to another network file on another server it says file doesn't exist
create or replace directory SYS_DIR as ''\\nrs2\WEBSITE\INCOMING\STARPUBS\';
grant read on directory SYS_DIR to USER;
The nrs2 server is used as a file server and doesn't have oracle client.
So my question is can the CREATE Directory statement manage access to another file system or is it limited to only local files?
If so, is there another way of accessing these files in the nrs2 server using UTL_FILE package?
Thanks

A file share on Windows is done using Microsoft's NTLM (New Technology Lan Manager) networking and application protocols.
For a client to access and use that share, it needs to be a NTLM client. This means the client needs to talk to a NetBIOS interface/driver that creates SMBs (Server Message Blocks) for communicating with the NTLM server.
You can not simply point an Oracle directory object to a NTLM share and expect it to magically just work.
That Oracle server needs to support NTLM. It needs to authenticate itself with the NTLM file server. It need to use SMBs to read and write files to and from that NTLM file server.
So do you have NTLM support on your OpenVMS server? Does it have some kind of NetBIOS interface that the o/s can use to talk SMB?
On Linux there is Open Source s/w called Samba that implements SMB support - and Samba clients and servers can talk to Microsoft NTLM/CIFS clients and servers.
What do you have installed and configured on your OpenVMS server to support SMB?
PS. Like a FTP client and FTP server are needed on the client and server side to talk FTP and transfer files, a Windows share needs specific s/w on the client, and specific s/w on the server, for the client and server to transfer file data using SMB (or what Microsoft arrogantly calls CIFS).

Error handler for ORA-29283 - not working

I am running Oracle 9.2.0.4 on HP-UX.
I have a stored procedure which reads a text file. I have set up an execption for error code ORA-29283 (invalid file operation). When I test my procedure (by not having the file to read) my exception handler is bypassed for a general exception error and my procedure terminates.
here's parts of my code:
Declare
file_not_found EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (file_not_found, -29283);
BEGIN
nochourly_file := UTIL_FILE.fopen('/mydirectory','myfile.txt','R');
Loop
begin
UTL_FILE.get_line(nochourly_file, sbuffer);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
GOTO end_of_file;
WHEN file_not_found
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Invalid File Operation - file not found');
skip_last_hour_processed;
GOTO end_of_file;
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
err_num := SQLCODE;
err_msg := SUBSTR (SQLERRM, 1, 100);
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Error ' || TO_CHAR (err_num));
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (err_msg);
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (sbuffer);
RAISE;
EXIT;
END;
===============
When this fails I expect to see the message
"Invalid file operation - file not found"
which indicates my exception handler was processed.
Instead I see:

1) what generated the error message since
a. it wasn't my exception handler and
b. it wasn't the "WHEN OTHERS"
2) Why isn't my error handler working?
Please advise.

Hello
Not sure why your exception is being ignored but usually, to be able to handle the UTL_FILE exceptions, you need to explicitly code for each exception declared in the UTL_FILE package i.e.
