Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Passing NT parameters like machine-name to map drives for using in UTL_FILE.FOPEN
Hi friends,
I am trying to find a way to pass to the UTL_FILE.FOPEN package, the location (directory) information in "operating system specifics".
I am using Oracle on an NT platform, and my server machine name is ORACLE_1. To all my clients, \\ORACLE_1\.. defines the directories that are shared on the server to be read and written to.
I am unsuccesful in passing the parameter \\ORACLE_1\share to FOPEn whereas passing c:\share works fine. I have already set my UTL_FILE_DIR in the initorcl.ora file to "*" for total access.
Is there a way out such that Oracle can interpret this \\ORACLE_1\share to mean c:\share.
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
