When you attempt to open an information map in SAS Enterprise Guide, you might see the following error:

ERROR: Error trying to establish connection: Unable to create Data Source.: Class not registered
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

This error can occur in the following circumstances:

• The information map is using third-party data.
• The LIBNAME statement for the third-party data includes a quoted INIT_STRING.
• The PROVIDER option on the INIT_STRING does not include a .1 after the provider name.
• You have installed the hot fix from SAS Note 45152, or you are using the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3 (TS1M2) or later.

As a workaround, edit the PROVIDER option on the INIT_STRING to include .1 after the provider name, as shown here.
