Invalid directory path / service name

This question is for Oracle 8i.

Well, I am facing a "Invalid directory path" problem.

The steps I did on the >>server<< are:

1. I wrote a procedure that uses the utl_file package
2. I set the parameter UTL_FILE_DIR = <directory name>
3. I restarted the database

The error I am getting on the >>client<< is: "ORA-29280: invalid directory path"

I have the feeling it could be a problem with the Service Name I am using.

it is possible to assign permissions to a Service Name?? any suggestions?

Thanks in advance Received on Tue Jun 06 2006 - 05:11:17 CDT
