Re: 10G UTL_FILE ORA-29283 DBMS_JOB

Thanks to those who provided some answers. I think I figured out the problem. I was able to write a procedure and recreate the issue. It appears oracle user was added to group "x" after the database was started. Membership in "x" is required to read the file. When I start a sql*plus session and execute the job this is a new process, when the scheduler starts a session to run the job it is a child process of the oracle server. I believe that the existing unix processes that were started before adding oracle to group "x" are not able to read the file. We are going to bounce the DB's tonight and I think that will solve the issue.
