Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: problem with UTL_FILE.FILE OPEN
The parameter in the init.ora is:
utl_file_dir=*
This allows you to write to any directory, you might want to list specific directories for security and sanity purposes.

I believe * is valid (though I can't find the page in a book right now), though it could be dangerous, utl_file writes as oracle, make sure some duhveloper doesn't overwrite/append to your datafiles.
Look at the UTL_FILE.FOPEN commands and verify the paths.
lv_log_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('/dir1/dir2/dir3','logfile.dat','A');
