Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1 Migration
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 2 - 10.2 Migration
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 3 - 10.3 Migration

Situation

Migrating data to an Oracle database will fail almost immediately with a variety of messages.  Usually no logs are found to show the error.

Resolution

Do not use any version of 10.2 Oracle client.  If the database version is 10.2 then the Oracle 11 client can be downloaded and installed on the workstation used for the migration
