I'm quite confused. Probably because I'm using Windows and it senses I'm an Unix bigot. 10.2.0.2 is the version.
I created a directory on the RDBMS server's filesystem and set it as the UTL_FILE_DIR, then bounced the database. After restart, it shows as the current UTL_FILE_DIR:
SQL> show parameter utl_file_dir
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
utl_file_dir string D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN \MEMBETA\UTL_FILE_DIR
That directory, "D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ADMIN \MEMBETA\UTL_FILE_DIR", does exist. Really. And it was created while logged in as "oracle" on the Windows box.
But now...
SQL> grant read,write on directory utl_file_dir to someone;
grant read,write on directory utl_file_dir to someone
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22930: directory does not exist
Eh?
It's like it's not finding it in DBA_DIRECTORIES, though of course it's not there since it's a "special" directory.
I've done this exact same sequence of steps on a Linux host and it works fine.

Hi,
You have two options for specify data directories.
1. UTL_FILE_DIR parameter
1.Create physical directory
2. SQL>alter system set UTL_FILE_DIR=path SCOPE=spfile;
3. SQL>shutdown immediate;
4. SQL>startup
2. Create Directory statement
1. Create physical directory
2. SQL>create directory DIRECTORY_NAME as 'path';
3. SQL>grant READ, WRITE on directory DIR_NAME to USER_NAME;
Regards
Taj
