UTL_FILE - file read error

Hi,
I am using UTL_FILE to read one file and write it into other file.
When i am executing procedure that uses UTL_FILE, i get error "ORA-29284: file read error".
I have checked that file exists with all permissions (r,w,e). Is there any limitaion of size to be read by utl_file. my file size is 62 kb.
I have set max_linesize to 32767/
Can anybody tell me the reason why it is happening?

can you post the script being used...
What's the database version
A database object called Directory is also needed in database that is created using the create directory command which directs to the folder in the file system. Is that already created?
Regards

ORA-29284: File read error

Good morning,
Need to do two flat file on a 2000 lien.
1 - Read a file. csv
2 - Keep it plain, unformatted information from a table
These are the steps I performed to achieve the first goal ...
1 - READING TEST FILE
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY PUBLIC_ACCESS AS 'C:\REPORTES_REY';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY PUBLIC_ACCESS TO PUBLIC;
-- THIS PL / SQL works ok..
DECLARE
v1 utl_file.file_type;
v2 varchar2(600);
begin
v1:= utl_file.fopen('PUBLIC_ACCESS','prueba20110218.csv','R'); -- WORKS WELL ...
--v1:= utl_file.fopen('PUBLIC_ACCESS','sui_facturacion_alcantarillado_15085_2011_01_76845_001.csv','R');
loop
     begin
          utl_file.get_line(v1,v2);
          dbms_output.put_line('el contenido del archivo es: '||v2);
          exception
          when no_data_found then
          exit;
     end;
          dbms_output.put_line(' - '); JUMP LINE
end loop;
     utl_file.fclose(v1);
exception
     when others then
     dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
end;
but when you change the file name by map prueba20110218.csv de-> sui_facturacion_alcantarillado_15085_2011_01_76845_001.csv displays the following error
ORA-29284: File read error+

Thank you very much for your cooperation extended
The file if it exists, the operating system is Windows, I'm running for the line of command and the file is in the same direction as the file prueba20110218.csv
Segi therefore his advice and remove:

dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
then run the following code:
DECLARE
v1 utl_file.file_type;

Why are you assuming utl_file works with binary files? It doesn't!It does in 10g, where file open mode B was introduced. But even with R mode you should be able to open DOC file. You might (or might not) have problem reading it:

When i try to install iPlanet App Server on NT, I do not get screen to enter license key valid for evaluation.
Also during installation screens an error window is displayed saying "cache File Read error -- Could not read ProductKey entry from the cache file "

Hi,
I also get the following message:
"Could not read ProductKey entry from the cache file"
I have no idea how to provide the installation software with the key. I also tried "keycheck.exe"
Do you have a solution for this problem? Did you finish the installation?

Adobe Lens Profile Creator - ERROR (Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred)

1) I have successfully created a lens profile for a Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 40mm 2.8 lens used in a Nikon D5200 Camera. For this I converted the raw .nef files to .DNG first using Adobe's DNG Converter.
2) When trying to create another lens profile using the EXACT SAME .DNG files as posted in 1), I am no longer able to create a lens profile because of the message "Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred". I am also unable to create any other lens profile using different photos.
3) I have also tried using a fresh install of Adobe Lens Profile Creator in another mac and I get the exact same error.
4) I AM ABLE to create a lens profile if I use .jpg files (generated from the same raw .nef files as mentioned) but this doesn't help because then the profiles don't show up when trying to open a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw.
Please help as this is exasperating.
Thank you.

Thanks! I had the same error message in Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0.4 for OSX and I found the problem to be the letter ö in the folder name for the DNGs. The lens is an old ISCO-Göttingen and the progress stopped at 2% with the mentioned error message. Changed the folder name and now it works!

Video File Read Error

Dear DVDSP Brains,
I am using DVDSP3 and have created a DVD with several menus. Whenever I try and build it the log gives me the following error message:
Compiling VTS#2 (MM to Film Menu Trans)...
Writing VTS020.VOB

Video File Read Error
Build cancelled
Formatting finished.
Building was not successful. See log.
The clip it seems to have a problem with "Film Menu to MM Trans, Clip 3..." is - I think - a still that has been added to the end of a transition movie between menus. I added the still to allow a dissolve to occur into the next menu and its buttons. I'm not sure if my diagnosis is correct.
I have seached the forum and attempted to implement some of the advice given that might be relevant.
I have tried to re-encode the Film Menu to MM Trans.
I trashed preferences.
I deleted the PAR files (which oddly has now caused he disc to have 5.7GB where it only had 3.2 GB before !!!)
I am at a loss and trying not to panic.
Your help would be much appreciated!
Detsky

I deleted the PAR directories in both the directory where the DVDSP document exists, and in my user directory (~mr88cet/Movies/Gary's Live DVD2 Build). I also tried deleting that whole directory. None of those deletions helped.
I exported the first video fragment in that track. That also didn't help.
Not surprisingly, doing a "build" only didn't help.
Could you tell me more about how this could clarify a problem with importing one of my clips?

How do I repair a file read error

I have a file that refused to be backed up in my nightly backup (I'm using Carbon Copy Cloner). I suspect that the disk may be corrupted somewhere in that file's allocated space, but running Disk Utility from Option+Reboot does not show any errors for either Verify Disk or Repair Disk
The file itself (/private/var/log/system.log.1) is not terribly important, but if I delete it I'm worried that I will get an error next time that space on the HDD is used.
Previously I had noticed that my Mac was hanging for 5-10 minutes at a time - I realise now that it would have been while it was updating the system log (before it became system.log.1) . I don't want that to happen again
My question is, how do I delete that file and make sure that the errored sector never gets used again?

Did you run a repair permissions in Disk Utility to see if that fixed anything?
The only way I know to map out bad sectors is to back everything up and do a secure erase writing zero's to the hard drive. This resets the bad sector table for the hard drive. Then restore your system.

What changed from AME v4.0 to v4.2 that would cause file read errors?

is anyone aware of a change in how AME read files in order to encoder when it moved to v4.2 and still exists in v5.0.
was this the point where quicktime was no longer used and AME used its own codecs etc?

it looks like they added ImporterFastMPEG.prm file to the system, if you remove it ev

File read errors when installing the oe schema.

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle and I've been playing around with the sample hr schema that came included with Oracle 11g XE (installed on a machine running Windows 7). I downloaded the oe schema off the otn website and I'm trying to install the sample database. I've pasted the errors I get in SQL Plus below.
I'm assuming the 'unable to open *.sql' errors are because oracle is looking for them in a different directory. Those files are present in the same directory as oe_main.sql whose location I specify at the start. Should'nt this be enough?
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,
I'm assuming the 'unable to open *.sql' errors are because oracle is looking for them in a different directory. Those files are present in the same directory as oe_main.sql whose location I specify at the start. Should'nt this be enough?No. The main-script calls the subscripts relative to the directory you started your sqlplus from. You should change to */demo/schema/oe*, start +@oe_main.sql+ there and the installation should finish without further issues.

File reading error

Hi friends, pleasehelp me on this issue, i had a file consisting mutiple input records. in reciever side it has to write each record into each file please help me urgently

HI
You need to use multi maps
at sender side add the sender interface and receiver side add the number of message type you want. then it will be mapped
Use this blog

This blog involved BPM. Your requirement can be met without using BPM just use the message mapping provided here and create RA, ID, RD for any number of receivers you want.

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/extra could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/community could not be read
:: Synchronizing package databases . . .
error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.

Uses the library to get UTL_FILE to read a excel file in PL SQL?

Good day.
Someone can give me some code that uses the library to get UTL_FILE to read a excel file in PL SQL?
I intend to use this library because I want to run a script on my machine to treat an excel file without having to make changes on the server.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Ranit's links are useful, you should read them.
Also check out the FAQ on this forum:Re: 5. How do I read or write an Excel file?
UTL_FILE is not the best choice for reading data from Excel files.
It also will not be able to read an Excel file located on your client computer. As with any PL/SQL code on the database, it can only access things that the server itself can see, so that doesn't include hacking across the network, bypassing network security, and hacking into the client computers operating system to read files directly from it's hard disk. This isn't how client server architecture is intended to work.
