SYS.UTL_FILE issue throws ORA-29283: invalid file operation
gauravMay 24 2012 — edited May 24 2012We have a cron scheduled which provides the status of database in our mails. Recently we cloned the instance and while doing that we bounced the whole server.
After that we stopped receiving mails from that instance. When I checked the crontab and ran the scripts manually. It showed following error.
SQL> alter session SET smtp_out_server = 'xxxx1:100';

Before cloning it was working fine.
