Clonning 11i EBS

Cloning Oracle Application:

There are three phases to the cloning process:

1.Prepare the Source System

Execute the following commands to prepare the Source System for cloning.

a.Prepare the Source System Database Tier for cloning

Log on to the Source System as the ORACLE user and run the following commands:

cd /appsutil/scripts/

perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

b.Prepare the Source System Application Tier for cloning

Log on to the Source System as the APPLMGR user and run the following commands on each Node that

contains an APPL_TOP:

cd /admin/scripts/

perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

2.Copy the Source System to the Target System

Copy the Application Tier File System from the Source Applications System to the Target Node by

executing the following steps in the order listed. Ensure the Application Tier files copied to

the Target System are owned by the Target APPLMGR user, and that the Database Tier files are owned

by the ORACLE user.

a.Copy the Application Tier File System

Log on to the Source System Application Tier Nodes as the APPLMGR user.

Shut down the Application Tier Server processes

Copy the following Application Tier directories from the Source Node to the Target Application

Tier Node:









/util

/clone

/_pages (when this directory exists)

<806 ORACLE_HOME>



b.Copy the Database Tier File System

Log on to the Source System Database Node as the ORACLE user.

Perform a normal shutdown of the Source System Database

Copy the Database (DBF) files from the Source to the Target System

Copy the Source Database ORACLE_HOME to the Target System

Start up the Source Applications System Database and Application Tier processes

Note: Unix/Linux users, make sure that the softlinks are preserved when copying.

3.Configure the Target System

Execute the following commands to configure the Target System. You will be prompted for the Target

System specific values (SID, Paths, Ports, etc)

a.Configure the Target System Database Server

Log on to the Target System as the ORACLE user and type the following commands to configure and

start the Database:

cd /appsutil/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier

b.Configure the Target System Application Tier Server Nodes

Log on to the Target System as the APPLMGR user and type the following commands:

cd /clone/bin

perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier

Attention: Windows users only:

add <806 ORACLE_HOME>\bin to the System Path before running this step.
