Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Migration
Oracle Database

Situation

ZAM migration utility will give an error that it cannot migrate workstation information.  There is a popup error that is long but specifically mentions an invalid class string.
 
The ZAM migration utility does connect to both the source and destination databases.

Resolution

Workaround:
Go to the <ORACLE_HOME>\bin directory on the workstation running the migration utility.  There will be a file called OraOLEDB10.dll or OraOLEDB11.dll depending on the version of Oracle.
 
Register the .dll with the command
regsvr32 "<ORACLE_HOME>\bin\OraOLEDB10.dll"
modifying the .dll name and path as needed.
