missing or invalid path prefix - string

Cause

The path prefix was missing or invalid. This can also happen if any of the following are true:

  • The directory path specified by PATH_PREFIX clause contains the string '..' or an invalid path separator like // or exceeds the maximum length supported on host operating system.
  • The target path already exists as a file in operating system.
  • The ROOT container (CDB$ROOT, when connected to a pluggable database or application root, when connected to an application container) has a PATH_PREFIX set and either NONE or a directory location outside ROOT containers' PATH_PREFIX was specified.

Action

Correct the PATH_PREFIX clause and reissue the statement.
