Environment

Component:

Cause

This error is related to the UCUDB32.dll, not to Java or the elevated permissions of the Utilities.
   
This file is used to connect to the DB client, it is the main DB module for the Operations Manager.
   
The EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION is caused by an incorrect oracle client.

Resolution

Please make sure that a 64bit Oracle FULL client is installed on the Windows machine and Oracle is within the path for the user that tries to run the Utilities.

If this does not resolve the issue, ​take a copy of a working Automic utilities from a different machine or server.  Zip up the entire Automic directory then replace the problematic utilities with it.

Additional Information

As of version 11 the Oracle INSTANT client is not supported on Windows anymore. Use the FULL client.
