Using dbms_scheduler.create_credential on a exedata - exadata

I want to setup a file_watcher for file created in a location in the OS. We are currently using Jobs that access the files through utl_file.fopen to access the files using a directory entry.
I ask my DBA to setup a credential so I can establish the file watch using dbsm_scheduler. He told me that because we are using a exadata appliance for our database we could not create the credential. I dont get it! If we are accessing the file through a directory why is a issue access through a credential?
Any Ideas?

Proper permission code for database file and database directory

So I created a login python app, app will add data to database file while user sign-up, and app will extract data from database while user login, on production server.
specifically, I want website users to
not able to see the database file and its directory
not able to download the database file if it can find the url.
able to add/extract content to/from it through web app (written in python flask)
Thus, what permission code (such as 755,660) should I give to the database file and the directory where the database file is located?
In my case, I found 755 is very useful, or 766, if it's a php/asp file which is responsive.

Remote InDesign server entrance to my local folders

I have used InDesign server locally and in properties, it goes like
indesign.instance=http://localhost:20055and works fine.
Now I try to use instances running on a remote server and in properties it goes as follows:
indesign.instances=http://##.#.#.11:7700,http://##.#.#.11:7701,http://##.#.#.11:7702
and my app connects to the server where InDesign server instances are running. When I execute my script it fails with an error that the file does not exist or cannot find a directory. I understand that instance does not know anything about my file system. But I know for sure it can be connected.
Could you please advise me on the correct approach?
You could share the file system you are working on over a shared folder. Then your Client will place a file into the shared file system and the server can find it.
Or, if it is a remote server without any direct network access, build a document service to upload a file to the server over HTTP.

Creating a conf file for a web server

For my web database I am trying to create a webserver so I need to make a conf file. When I try to edit my conf file and save it wont let me and says permission denied. I have already given myself read and write access, but I still don't have access to the edit the file. Here is the link to the resource I am using to set up my webserver : https://github.com/orsenthil/adminer-on-mac
I've been working with local web servers and mysql on Mac for over 15 years, so this recommendation is coming from that experience.
OS X updates will destroy your local web development environment every time you do a major OS update... Don't use the built in Apache, PHP and MySQL. Use Homebrew to install independent web server components.
Now to your problems:
/etc/hosts is a file not a directory. Each line is a separate record. The line they gave 127.0.0.1 apache.local just means that your local computer will be accessible from http://apache.local. This hosts file can be used to avoid DNS lookups for any website.
The conf file you are referring to is the Apache VirtualHost file? OS X is very protective about files in etc. Have you tried sudo? If you change the permissions to your user, Apache may not be able to function.

How do I setup my SFTP connection to my Google Compute Engine instance so that I can read and write files using Filezilla?

I created a LAMP stack instance on Google Compute Engine and followed the instructions for setting up FTP as described here.
Most of this worked, I can view files and ftp files to my local workstation FROM the instance. The problem is I can't ftp files TO the instance. Whenever I try to do so Filezilla gives me a permission denied error.
I tried right clicking on the "www" folder in Filezilla to set the permissions but that didn't work.
I'm guessing that write permissions have to be set by SSH-ing to the server and executing some sort of command but I'm not sure how to do that.
Any ideas as to how to go about doing this would be appreciated.
By default the /var/www directory is owned by 'www-data' on the debian instance. You should add your user to the 'www-data' group, and give the directory +rw (read and write) for groups.

Change file Permissions on Windows Server Host

I uploaded my site to my host, everything is ok except for mdb file write problem. I'm using it as my database but access file is read-only by default. How can I set its file permissions? I tried changing it with filezilla but it works only on linux servers. Can anyone help?
Regards...
Most of the hosting companies provide a control panel like websitepanel, plesk or helm to change / modify permission of your files.
If you can share the control panel name you're using, we can give you step by step instructions for changing file permission.
