ORA-29283: invalid file operation tips Oracle Error Tips by Stephanie F. Also see ORA-29283 with impdp network_link. The Oracle docs note this on the ORA-29283 error: ORA-29283: invalid file operation Cause: An attempt was made to read from a file or directory that does not exist, or file or directory access was denied by the operating system. Action: Verify file and directory access privileges on the file system, and if reading, verify that the file exists. If this is similar to something you are experiencing, you may want to read further. Here is the Test case provided about ORA-29283: 1. On the OS run the following to define a system variable: define/system MYDIR VMS"""user password"""::$1$DG:[SUPPORT.MYDIR] 2. In sqlplus create the directory object to map the logical directory: Create or replace directory rtvms2 as 'MYDIR:'; 3. Run now the following procedure to create the remote file: SET SERVEROUT ON declare v_buff VARCHAR2(2000); fhandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE; begin dbms_output.put_line('WRITE'); fhandle:= UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR:','Report.txt','W'); UTL_FILE.put_line(fhandle,' Attempt to write'); UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fhandle); end; / SQL> WRITE PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> HOST dir mydir: Directory VMS"user password"::$1$DG:[SUPPORT.MYDIR] REPORT.TXT;1 1/69 29-DEC-2005 10:23:58.39 (RWD,RWD,R,) 4. Now test the append to the remote file, this will create a new version of the file declare v_buff VARCHAR2(2000); fhandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE; begin dbms_output.put_line('APPEND'); fhandle:= UTL_FILE.FOPEN(SQL Server PRODUCTSDiscussion & Resources Benchmark Factory Code Tester for Oracle SharePlex SQL Navigator SQL Optimizer Spotlight Stat Toad Intelligence Central Toad Data Modeler Toad Data Point Toad Extension for Eclipse Toad for Hadoop Toad for IBM DB2 Toad for Oracle Toad for MySQL Toad for SQL Server Toad for SAP Solutions Toad MAC Edition Home » Platforms » Oracle » Oracle Blog » UTL_FILE Operation fails with ORA-29283 UTL_FILE Operation fails with ORA-29283 Oracle Community Join Overview http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_29283_invalid_file_operation.htm Forum Blog Wiki Members Blog Options Print Comment RSS Feed Tweet Related Posts Effectively Using the UTL_FILE Package latest revision over 1 year ago by Michael McLaughlin Help with UTL_FILE, Please! by Steven Feuerstein on 7 Feb 2014 2 comments ORA$AT_SA_SPC_SY Jobs failing? by Norm [TeamT] on 28 Jan 2013 0 comments View More UTL_FILE http://www.toadworld.com/platforms/oracle/b/weblog/archive/2015/11/25/utl-file-operation-fails-with-ora-29283 Operation fails with ORA-29283 Follow Norm [TeamT] / 11.25.2015 at 3:45pm A process that called "UTL_FILE" was failing in the test system, but worked fine with exactly the same set up in production. Why? The error was ORA-29283: invalid file operation. How do we find out exactly why it was failing? MY_DIRECTORY is a directory, owned by SYS with READ and WRITE privileges granted to a schema that uses it to create, write and read files in that location. The oracle account on the server can create and read files in the directory location, touch and cat prove this. Running a PL/SQL package, however, fails. The failing code was reduced to the following test sample: declare v_fd utl_file.file_type; begin v_fd:=utl_file.fopen('MY_DIRECTORY','norman.txt','w'); utl_file.fclose(v_fd); end; / Which blows up with the less than helpful message: ERROR at line 1: ORA-29283: invalid file operation ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 536 ORA-29283: invalid file operation ORA-06512: at line 4 Here's a nice trick, stolen blatantly from Michael Schwalm at http://blog.dbi-services.com/troubleshooting-ora-29283-when-oracle-is-member-of-a-group-with-readwrite-privilege

The application (which is hosted on IBM WAS) connects to database via JDBC which in turn use the sys.utl file package to write the files on OS. ORA-29283: invalid file operation ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 536 ORA-29283: invalid file operation The same thing works fine in UAT which has the same setup as PROD The same operation works on backend from the sql prompt or the batch jobs running. We already checked the below UTL_FILE is working with backend call on the database server. Server User/Group Privileges check between PROD & UAT which is in sync. LDAP User/Group Privileges check between PROD & UAT which is in sync. Directory level permission check between UAT & PROD server, which are identical. Database User Permission & Privileges. It gives the same error with 777 privileges. oracle plsql share|improve this question edited May 6 '14 at 2:17 asked May 6 '14 at 1:59 leomanastic 613 The application from prod writes in same directry as ur sqlplus do? Select * from all_Directories; this query could list you the oracle directory name and corresponding actual path in OS. –Maheswaran Ravisankar May 6 '14 at 4:01 Yes it writes in the same directory, please note the directory we are trying to use is driven by a parameter table in the application –leomanastic May 6 '14 at 11:20 When calling UTL_FILE.FOPEN are you specifying a directory object or a path to the directory (e.g. "/dir1/dir2/dir3")? If a directory object, what permissions are granted to the users in question in both environments? –Bob Jarvis May 6 '14 at 11:29 We are specifying path & currently have given 777 to th
