RE: utl file limitations
The big question is if the tracing I need for 11i (i karumba) will work with this solution. I am waiting for Metalink to check it out. I also plan to test it this weekend on my TEST instance this weekend if I can get it from the users. I also plan on putting in a enhancement request for utl_dir. It IMHO should be able to handle /maindirectory/* Well back to submitting more tars on patches that don't work.. I love beta testing 11i... I love patching all night and submitting tars all day All I want for Christmas is 11i to work, 11i to work, 11i to work.

RE: utl file limitations
This is fully allowed and support - it works with just about any of the "multi-value" parms. On more recent versions of Oracle you can see the parameters in this was using v$parameter2 even better - in 9.2, the utl_file_dir is no longer required. hth connor --- John Kanagaraj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Kathy, > > This is probably not documented, but you can have > multiple lines of > UTL_FILE_DIR _anywhere_ as _long_as_ you bunch them > all up without any gaps > / lines inbetween them (in which case the last set > overrides the previous > ones).

utl file limitations
database 8.1.7.3 Has anyone run into and knows a work around for utl file limitations. Specifically, we have many directories we need to write to over 512 bytes but the problem is if we need to run a session trace , we can only have 256 bytes and the directory that the trace file goes to is the last one specified in the utl_file. So currently we are having to change our utl_file, bounce the system, do our trace and set it back again and bounce again. Which to me is unacceptable. I understand there is a way to set up multiple utl_files, but I can't seem to find any info on it. And would I be able to trace I don't think it is possible for me to specify utl_file=/mymaindirectory/* in the init.ora and have files go into the subdirectories they need ot underneath. You would think you would be able to since you can specify *. Any takers on this one?
