Utl_file not generating file but no raising no exceptions

Question

The utl_file_dir is set to /tmp/usr on my system. I am trying to write a simple file in this directory as follows :
declare
l_filehandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
begin
l_filehandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('/usr/tmp', 'test_file','w');
utl_file.putf(l_filehandle, 'test');
utl_file.fclose(l_filehandle);
end;
When i run this, i do not see any errors but at the same time the file is not generated. Any ideas what the issue may be.
I ran this from both sqlplus client and from the unix server but no luck in both teh cases. The procedure just completes without generating the file.
please help
thanks

Answer 1

thanks for the response, apparantly it was creating the files on a different server. I'm not sure why or how.
But thanks, problem solved !!
