Once the above steps are completed, a new directory path added to the supplemental utl_file_dir will be available for use by E-Business programs. In the absence of an integration between different cluster solutions, the system is subject to the dueling cluster solutions issue: Independent cluster solutions can make individual decisions about which corrective actions must be taken in case of certain failures.
