hi,
i need my Forms application access files stored in a remote server. I checked that \\OASServer and \\RemoteServer computers are in the same domain, and the remote directory \\RemoteServer\temp is shared and has full control rights assigned to 'Everyone'. Anymore, \\RemoteServer\temp directory is listed in webutil.cfg file (both for read and write access).
After a reboot of both computers, I realized that Application Server can not access the remote file. in details, I noticed two issues
1. HOST commands (ie: HOST('cmd /c copy /Y \\RemoteServer\temp\test.txt D:\temp') fails silently (no error warnings are issued).
2. Webutil commands also fail. for example WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT([user's file],'\\RemoteServer\temp\test.txt') throws the 'WUT-118 application server file \\RemoteServer\temp\test.txt does nos exist or is of zero length' error.
notice that the two servers are able to comunicate each other. for example, if i run 'copy /Y \\RemoteServer\temp\test.txt D:\temp' from a DOS shell on my \\OASServer computer, it works perfectly.
so, what is wrong? im struggling with it!
thanks for your help

Root cause & fix are external to Oracle
Oracle is the victim; not the culprit.
Problem is at OS level & does not involve Oracle DB.

Oracle processes will usually run with the security profile of a local system account. There is no reason why such an account would have any privileges on a directory mounted from a remote system. Perhaps before your reboot, the processes were running under a different account? Started manually maybe, rather than as a service? It is also possible that the reboot has picked up some changes in the domain user configuration.
The fact that an interactive shell logged on as you can copy files may not prove anything.
