ORA-28595: Extproc agent : Invalid DLL Path

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Error Message

Attempting to call a ST_Geometry function such as ST_AsText results in the following error:

"ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28595: Extproc agent : Invalid DLL Path
ORA-06512: at "SDE.ST_GEOMETRY_SHAPELIB_PKG", line 170
ORA-06512: at "SDE.ST_RELATION_OPERATORS", line 303"

Cause

The Oracle Listener has not been properly configured to use ST_Geometry functions. The FILE_SPEC entry for ST_SHAPELIB as defined in the USER_LIBRARIES or ALL_LIBRARIES data dictionary view is specified incorrectly or not at all in environment variable EXTPROC_DLLS used by the Oracle extproc process.

Solution or Workaround



  1. Properly configure listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files on the server to use the ST_Geometry library.
  2. Make sure that the path to the ST_SHAPELIB shared library file is specified correctly in the environment variable EXTPROC_DLLS and that this environment variable is available to the Oracle extproc process by defining this environment variable in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora.

    Refer to the Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide chapter on Enabling Advanced Features of Oracle Net Services for more complete information about configuring the Oracle extproc process.
