Answer 1

With Database 19c, the UTL_FILE_DIR database initialization parameter has been desupported. As part of the upgrade to Database 19c, you must migrate all UTL_FILE_DIR database initialization parameters to database directory objects. EBS development has created a utility to migrate and manage your defined PL/SQL file input/output directories.

You need to ensure you've followed the instructions given in Section 3.1.1 of "Using UTL_FILE_DIR or Database Directories for PL/SQL File I/O in Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2" (Doc ID 2525754.1).

This blog also has a good description of the upgrade.
