Oracle Server Encountered a fatal error during reverse engineer

Asked By dinacallway 1220 points N/A Posted on - 06/26/2011

Hi friends,

Upon arriving at the office, I opened my email, and I received a memo that instructs me to do some reverse engineering. When I started the process of reverse engineering from Oracle server to Microsoft Visio, there was an error. I posted it below for a complete view of the problem.

Encountered a fatal error during reverse engineer of information from the database!

On my analysis of the problem, I can hardly figure out what went wrong with my process of reverse engineering. So to make sure maybe I left something, I repeated all the process, and same error displayed again.I am asking for some technical advice on the issue that I encounter on how to implement reverse engineering.

Thanks.

Oracle Server Encountered a fatal error during reverse engineer

Hello,

I have seen this same error when reverse engineering from an Oracle 10G server to MS Visio 2003.  It was caused by using the Oracle Server as the Visio installed driver to establish the connection.

I corrected this by selecting the Generic OLE DB Provider (instead of Oracle Server) in the Reverse Engineer Wizard. Changing the driver enabled me to import all my objects successfully. Hope this helps.

Regards.
