You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps

Verify that the ORACLE server’s Heterogeneous Services data dictionary was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.

If both scripts were executed and the error persists, contact the customer support representative of the agent vendor.
