Directory is set with 777 wide open. It is on the individual flat files written. EM is run under SYS for many functions required sysdba. Could sys had different permissions for that directory???? Linux is not my best skill, gues that is why this one excapes me

If it’s the latter then the only thing that springs to mind is to ask whether the user you are running EM under is oracle ?
If it’s not, it may be that the user you are running EM under doesn’t have privileges on the directory.
Bit of a guess, but hope it’s useful.

can’t say I’ve ever had that problem. Does the same thing happen if you start the database on the command line rather than via EM ?

My public read disapears after starting the database through EM. Odd behavior I cannot explain but it happens every time.

Apologies if anyone was thrown by this.
