Here you are right. You will see here only one because of width. Please don't rely on svrmgrl for such info. Instead use sqlplus and check it from v$parameter

result is
PARAMETER



VALUE

utl_file_dir
/u327/applmgr/10_7/finprod_output/hfs_data, /u327/applmgr/10_7/har/1.0.0/mm_cbda
ta

Both entries are appearing here,

HTH

hmm, when you go into svrmgrl connect internal and show parameters, do both show up or just the last one? on my system, i only see the last.

 >>> rafiq9857_at_hotmail.com 10/03/02 01:13PM >>> Like these

utl_file_dir=/u327/applmgr/10_7/finprod_output/hfs_data utl_file_dir=/u327/applmgr/10_7/har/1.0.0/mm_cbdata

and these are the last entries in initSID.ora file.

What does your utl_file_dir parameter look like in your init.ora? I am using AIX.

  >>> rafiq9857_at_hotmail.com 10/03/02 11:43AM >>> What flavor of unix...ON HP-UX 10.20/11 Oracle ver 7.3.4.5 we have no problem with separate entries as mentioned by Jared. However, don't keep gap between these entries...and define it the way it was explained by Jared.

On unix, multiple entries in the init.ora file results in the last entry being the only valid value (i.e. last time variable is set). I tested below and only dir3 is listed as a utl_file_dir parameter. But if you comma delimit them w/ 1 instance of the variable then all dir's are listed. Maybe NT is different, fortunately never had to support Oracle on NT :).

   >>> Jared.Still_at_radisys.com 10/02/02 07:13PM >>> Gene,

> utl_file_dir = D:\directory name1
> utl_file_dir = D:\directory name2
> utl_file_dir = D:\directory name3

The multiple lines shown are actually the documented method for doing this.

The single line with comma delimited entries may also work, though I'm not sure about it.

           Subject:        RE: Utl_file and OPENVMS


i believe its

utl_file_dir=dir1,dir2,dir3,...

in your example, dir 3 would be the only valid dir.

hth,
gene

   >>> SXBaswan_at_dcss.com 10/01/02 12:53PM >>> Make sure you have the directory name entry covered in INIT.ORA

e.g.

utl_file_dir = D:\directory name1
utl_file_dir = D:\directory name2
utl_file_dir = D:\directory name3

You need one entry per directory that you want to write to using UTL_FILE Package

Hope this helps

the vms user oracle needs rights to the directory.

   >>> RROGERS_at_galottery.org 09/30/02 10:53AM >>> List,

    I have a package that creates files on the server. The directory location and file name are obtained from tables in oracle. The procedure works as designed on Novell 7.3.4 and no changes were needed when the database way loaded on Linux Oracle 8.1.7. I am trying to move the database from the Novell to an OPENVMS Oracle 8.1.7 server and I can't get the package to write the files to the OS directory.

    The package is created by the Oracle user DTSUSER and executed by DTSUSER. There is no OPENVMS user DTSUSER. The sysadmin assures me that the permissions are correct to write to the directory.
I have place a Dbms_output in the package to display the directory information and it looks correct.

    Is there anything different that has to be done to an OPENVMS server that will allow a package to write to a directory using the Utl_File package?

Listing from the Oracle tables:

DTS_PARAMETER_NAME DTS_PARAMETER_VALUE

LOAD_USERID                    LOADITUP

LOAD_PASSWORD                  ILOADIT
