Cognos Planning Publish Fails after Upgrade of Oracle Client to 12c SOLVED

[Danno]

We upgraded the Oracle client on all servers from 11g to 12c. Initially when we were investigating this the IBM had Oracle 12c listed as supported. When I checked again yesterday I see it is not listed there. Good thing I downloaded all this in PDF format otherwise I would have thought I screwed up but I do see the difference in the supported software matrix between April and July. So I have done that homework.

Now the issue is that everything works for Cognos except the publishes. There doesn't seem to be a .out file produced although the log shows one being created as part of the bulk load error. Also we did a full Admin install of the client on the Cognos servers. This is DEV so I want to resolve this before we move forward to the other environments.

Here is the error:

Any ideas on how to proceed? I'm not getting many hits on the web for this one and the DBA's seem stumped.

Thanks

It was a confirmed bug with Oracle:

Bug:19787643 - SQL LOADER FAILS TO START - ORANFSODM12.DLL IS MISSING"

They had to supply us with the correct DLL so that we could continue with using Oracle 12c and after installing it the publishes executed as expected.
