i'm trying to call external procedures with Oracle 9i under Windows NT
i've got this "unknown" error : ORA-28595 "Invalid DLL Path"
this error comes during the call to the function declared as external... this is BEFORE the instruction "NAME ", so it must come from the listener (see below)
any help appreciated

# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: D:oracleora92NETWORKADMINlistener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = poste2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC0))
)
)

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = winresa.poste2)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:oracleora92)
(SID_NAME = winresa)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = BDTEST.POSTE2)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:oracleora92)
(SID_NAME = BDTEST)
)
(SID_DESC =

(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_NAME = plsextproc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:oracleora92)
)
)

I've got no hands-on experience with 9i, but I believe there's some environmental variable to be set. By default, Oracle will only load external procedures that are in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin and $ORACLE_HOME/lib directories. To load DLLs from other directories, the environment variable EXTPROC_DLLS should be set.

Oracle recommends setting this variable in the listener.ora file using the ENVS parameter. In your documentation, you can find more info.

Or you could surf to OTN:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/network.920/a96580/advcfg.htm#444270

I resolved this issue :
if you're working under Windows, you have to add this line in the listener.ora file : ENVS="EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY"
here's a part of my file :

(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_NAME = extproc2)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:oracleora92)
(ENVS="EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")
)

hope this helps
you can contact me : ICQ #66752818

For better security, substitute the ANY above with a colon separated list of DLLs that you wish to load.
