APPLIES TO:Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 9.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.1 [Release 9.2 to 10.2]Information in this document applies to any platform. SYMPTOMS1) On startup the following errors occur:================================================================== ORA-16032: parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 destination string cannot be translated ORA-09291: sksachk: invalid device specified for archive destination OSD-04018: Unable to access the specified directory or device. O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified. ================================================================== CAUSEA service should not directly access local or network resources through mapped drive letters.
Additionally, a service should not use the WNetXXXXXXX APIs to add, remove, or query any mapped drive letters. Although the WNetXXXXXXX APIs may return successfully, the results will be incorrect. A service (or any process that is running in a different security context) that must access a remote resource should use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name to access the resource. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q180362 SOLUTIONOn Windows XP and on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, each logon session receives its own set of
drive letters, A through Z. Therefore, redirected drives cannot be shared between processes that are running under different user accounts. Additionally, a service (or any process that is running in its own logon session) cannot access the drive letters that are established in a different logon session. However, drive letters that are mapped from a service that is running under the local System account are visible to all logon sessions. |
