Applies to:

Oracle Net Services - Version: 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.4.0
This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

ServiceAliasException: Could not save Service Alias: TNS-04415: File I/O error.

Changes

It is likely that the $TNS_ADMIN variable was changed recently or the directory to which it pointed has been removed or made inaccessible.

Cause

The $TNS_ADMIN environment variable pointed to a directory that did not exist. This caused the file I/O error.

Solution

Set the $TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to the $ORACLE_HOME/Network/Admin directory or any other existing directory where you are able to write a file.
