I am trying to see if this file exists. But I'm getting this error message. I have already checked the privileges I got them. But this file is on the server side so is there something I am missing
DECLARE
vInHandle utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
vInHandle := utl_file.fopen('IMG_UTL_DIR', 'image-file.csv', 'R');
IF utl_file.is_open(vInHandle) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('The File exists');
Else
dbms_output.put_line('The File not exists');
END IF;
END fopen;
Errors:
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 536
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at line 5
If the file does not exist then you will get that error. With your code, when the file exists you will get:
anonymous block completed
The File exists
But when the file does not exist you will get:
Error report -
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 536
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
ORA-06512: at line 6
29283. 00000 - "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.
Note the 'a file or directory that does not exist' part of the error description. You cannot test for the file's existence like this. As far as I'm aware there is no direct way to test for a file being there; you would have to attempt to open the file and catch the exception. For example:
DECLARE
vInHandle utl_file.file_type;
eNoFile exception;
PRAGMA exception_init(eNoFile, -29283);
BEGIN
BEGIN
vInHandle := utl_file.fopen('IMG_UTL_DIR', 'image-file.csv', 'R');
dbms_output.put_line('The File exists');
EXCEPTION
WHEN eNoFile THEN
dbms_output.put_line('The File not exists');
END;
END fopen;
/
anonymous block completed
The File not exists
But the ORA-29283 exception can mean other things as well, as the description says, so it doesn't necessarily mean the file is not there - it could be there but not accessible for some other (permission-related) reason. You would also be masking the location of the actual error to some extent, and if you had multiple file operations in the block then you'd either have to wrap each one in its own begin/exception/end sub-block to specify the error, or lose the actual error point.
You're probably better off just letting the exception be raised and reported naturally, rather than catching it and replacing it with a dbms_output message which might not be retrieved and displayed by the client anyway.

I am getting below error while generating 100k record in PL/SQL. I have created a package and calling that package from anonymous block.

I dont know where in package I should put the same? will it solve the problem?
I put below in my anonymous block but it dit not help
set serveroutput on size 1000000
If at all logging to a server side file is an option,then UTL_FILE is the best bet.It doesn't complain about buffer overflow.
DECLARE
v_MyFileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
--Change the folder based on host operating System
v_MyFileHandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('C:\','LOG.TXT','a');
FOR i in 1..1000000

END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_MyFileHandle);

You can open the file in read-only mode and can see the progress as the records are written while the script is running.This is a bonus.
For more details worth reading oracle documentation : https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ARPLS/u_file.htm#ARPLS72681
If you're blowing the limits of DBMS_OUTPUT you should probably use a logging table to record your trace messages.
Being an Oracle built-in library, DBMS_OUTPUT has the advantage of availability. That is its only advantage. Its output is hard to search, a problem which is logarithmic to the size of output. It is not persistent. It is troublesome to manage in other environments.
Unfortunately Oracle does not provide a PL/SQL logger utility but you don't have to write your own (unless you want to). Use Tyler Muth's third-party library. It is the closest thing we have to an industry standard. Find it on GitHub.
i did face the same error
ORA-20000: ORU-10027: buffer overflow, limit of 100000 bytes
cause i am updating the ~91k records and due to one condition error
mine else part is only executing where i defined this error code
V_CODE := SQLCODE;
V_ERRM := SUBSTR(SQLERRM, 1, 100);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Error code ' || V_CODE || ': ' || V_ERRM );
V_ERR_CNT := V_ERR_CNT + 1;
to resolve this issue , i put it as below
ALTER SESSION SET DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT=128;
ALTER SESSION SET SORT_AREA_SIZE=500000000;
ALTER SESSION SET SORT_AREA_RETAINED_SIZE=500000000;
set serveroutput on size unlimited
and i also resolved the If condition part as in the result set i am only printing the count.

I am trying to import a datapump dump file into a remote server via SQLPlus.
So, local machine -> remote oracle Server
Dump file is on local machine on a SMB share.
I have written a little script for that operation, however it fails with errors.
The Datapump Directory exists (SMB share on local machine, DIRECTORY is pointing to said share)
My script:
DECLARE
ind NUMBER; -- Loop index
h1 NUMBER; -- Data Pump job handle
percent_done NUMBER; -- Percentage of job complete
logfileName VARCHAR2(30);-- Name of the Logfile
job_state VARCHAR2(30); -- To keep track of job state
le ku$_LogEntry; -- For WIP and error messages
js ku$_JobStatus; -- The job status from get_status
jd ku$_JobDesc; -- The job description from get_status
sts ku$_Status; -- The status object returned by get_status
BEGIN
h1 := DBMS_DATAPUMP.OPEN('IMPORT','FULL',NULL,'IMPORT_XYDESCRIPTOR');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.ADD_FILE(h1,'dump.dmp','DPIMP_REMOTE',NULL,DBMS_DATAPUMP.KU$_FILE_TYPE_DUMP_FILE,1);
DBMS_DATAPUMP.SET_PARAMETER(h1,'TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION','APPEND');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.START_JOB(h1);
[... more stuff...]
However I get the following error, when I execute that script as SYSDBA:
DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 4307
ORA-06512: at line 15
line 15 is this line:
DBMS_DATAPUMP.ADD_FILE(h1,'dump.dmp','DPIMP_REMOTE',NULL,DBMS_DATAPUMP.KU$_FILE_TYPE_DUMP_FILE,1);
I don't really get why I get an invalid argument value error, the command is exactly as the Oracle wiki dictates.
Can someone help me on what I am doing wrong?
Maybe the thing I try isn't even possible?
I 'am trying to read and write files using utl_file package remotely but the oracle server cant read and write on other pc ,so i make a shared path on '\\adel-pc\test', and i want to read and write on that path but i get this error when reading :

END;
so my questions are:
could I write and read on the shared path or it cant be done using utl_file ?
why I am getting this error , knowing that I gave read & write permissions to that path.
I'd suggest you not to do it that way.
First of all, you're creating that procedure in SYS schema, which is - generally speaking - a bad idea. Leave SYS (and SYSTEM) alone; create your own user, grant it required privileges (CREATE SESSION, CREATE PROCEDURE and any other you might require), connect to it and then write code you want.
Why are you creating directories dynamically? That is a one-time job and should be done once, connected as SYS. Although you might have created those directories (it is a good idea to first DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE command you're about to execute, make sure it is correctly written and then actually run it), you did not grant READ nor WRITE privileges on them to anyone, so - nobody can use them but SYS and - as I've said above - don't use SYS for that.
Note that I'm not talking about operating system privileges, but Oracle ones, e.g.
grant read, write on directory some_dir to scott;
Finally, as of creating a directory on a computer that is not the database server: you should use UNC (Universal Naming Convention) and create a directory literally as \\adel-pc\test; it won't work if you map that directory on the server and use its drive letter.
As of the error itself, huh ... you posted several hundreds lines of code, it is little bit too much to debug just by looking at it, and we miss other objects you use. No idea, sorry.
finally the problem is solved ,the problem was in windows system privileges , I had to give full control permissions to the files ,so yes i can write and read on the shared path using utl_file .
When i am searching for directories registered to UTL_DIR i am getting the following :
select value from v$parameter where name='utl_file_dir';
/usr/tmp, /usr/tmp, /oradata/hrtst/db/tech_st/11.2.0/appsutil/outbound/HRTS, /usr/tmp
Does this mean /usr/tmp is the directory for UTL_DIR ?
also i cannot search for /oradata/hrtst/db/tech_st/11.2.0/appsutil/outbound/HRTS through winscp or putty.
Also i created a directory like
create or replace directory MY_DIR as '/usr/tmp';
and then i tried to write in this folder :
DECLARE
fileHandler UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
begin
fileHandler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MY_DIR', 'test_file.txt', 'W');
UTL_FILE.PUTF(fileHandler, 'Writing TO a file\n');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fileHandler);
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
raise_application_error(-20000, 'ERROR: Invalid PATH FOR file.');
END;
anonymous block completed
though this block got executed succesfuly but no file got created in the directory when i checked.
