Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.No SuchObjectTypeException: No such object type "user".

Hello,

I have been stuck with this error for a while now with no luck. I have looked all over the internet and forums, including this one but none of them provide a working solution. The closest solution I could get was this article,

http://kowalski.ms/2010/07/20/sharepoint-server-2010-supplementing-user-profile-imports-using-bcs/

But, according to it, I have done everything right. The values for MossJoinAttribute andBDCJoinAttribute are also correct.

I was wondering if anyone could throw some more light on the problem.

Here are the errors logged in various locations,

miisclient stopped-extension-dll-exception

Event Viewer: 

The extensible extension returned an unsupported error.
 The stack trace is:

 "Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.NoSuchObjectTypeException: No such object type "user".
   at Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.Impl.TypeDescriptionCollectionImpl.get_Item(String Name)
   at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ManagementAgent.ProfileImportExportExtension.Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.IMAExtensibleFileImport.GenerateImportFile(String fileName, String connectTo, String user, String password, ConfigParameterCollection configParameters, Boolean fFullImport, TypeDescriptionCollection types, String& customData)
Forefront Identity Manager 4.0.2450.5"

Here's What I am trying to do,

  1. I have created a User Profile Service that imports profile information from AD.
  2. We have a custom External Content type that we use to import additional Profile Properties from an ORACLE Database.
  3. Initially everything worked fine. Import from AD as well as ORACLE was successful.
  4. But, then we had to migrate to a different database. With the same Tables/Views/Columns
  5. We changed the connection string that the External Content Type was using to import data from the ORACLE Database.
  6. Ran Full Sync.
  7. AD Import Works, but BCS Import fails with the errors mentioned earlier.

Thanks in advance.
