list, i created a new instance of 8.1.7 on Hp-UX and because some of the front end programs use utl package to write the log files to the server, i did this.
UTL_FILE_DIR = /u1/app/oracle/admin/BIS/utl_dir/ note the slash in the end.... in the front end programs.. we are also using directory name with the slash in the end... until yesterday ALL our programs were working fine !! and sure enough we got the files created in the aboe directory.!!! but suddenly today, all the programs are returing "invalid operation" from utl_file package !!! according to oracle we should remove the slash.. (which i'm going to do today) .. but i;m curious why everything worked without any errors until now !!! -rahul -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: rahul sharma INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
