Purpose
This document is created for use as a guideline and checklist before and while performing Rapid Clone on E-Business Suite 11i/R12. Customers must follow the 11i cloning document Note.230672.1 and R12 cloning document Note.406982.1 while performing cloning. This document will assist customers to avoid running into various errors by reviewing this checklist before cloning. The checklist provided here is not completely comprehensive and it would be regularly updated.Please read the whole article before starting to perform Rapid Clone.
This document is divided into three major sections :
1. Preparing for Rapid Clone
2. Performing Rapid Clone
3. Post Rapid Clone Checklist
Scope and Application
This document provides the checklist to be checked before performing Rapid Clone with 11i/R12.Descriptive Checklist For Performing Rapid Clone With Oracle EBS 11i/R12
Section 1. Preparing for Rapid Clone

- 8246709 : Required for MS Windows using AS 10.1.3.4 (This patch must be re-applied to the iAS 10.1.3.4 ORACLE_HOME before every clone operation)
2. All pre-requisites must be met for 11i as per Note.230672.1, specifically OUI patch, JRE, JDK, Perl, zip and other OS utilities viz. ld, ar, make, cc.
Also, the target system must meet all the requirements for Oracle Applications Release 11i stated on the Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade NoteNote.316806.1.
Similarly, all pre-requisites must be met for R12 as per Note:406982.1, specifically zip, unzip, perl and OS utilities viz. ld, ar, make, cc.
Also, the target system must meet all the requirements for Oracle Applications Release 12 stated on the Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes for each Platform (Refer Note.405565.1).
Note 402306.1 : Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for AIX-Based Systems
Note 402308.1 : Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for HP-UX PA-RISC
Note 402310.1 : Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for Linux (32-bit)
Note 416305.1 : Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for Linux (64-bit)
Note 402307.1 : Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for HP-UX Itanium
Note 402311.1: Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for Microsoft Windows
Note 402312.1 : Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC)
3. Ensure that Database tier autoconfig code is in sync with Application tier. If not, then run admkappsutil.pl script on Application tier to recreate appsutil.zip, copy appsutil.zip file to Database tier, unzip it and run autoconfig on Database tier.
4. Ensure that autoconfig executes successfully on source Database tier and Application tier.
5. Once autoconfig is run prior to adpreclone, all the java .class files under $RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/java/oracle should be identical to those under $JAVA_TOP/oracle.
6. Once adpreclone is run, all the java .class files under the following directories should be identical to those under $JAVA_TOP/oracle :
$RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/java/oracle
$RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/jlib/java/oracle
$COMMON_TOP/clone/jlib/java/oracle
7. Ensure that data files (.dbf files) are copied when the database is shutdown normal. The database must be down untill data file copy completes. Otherwise it results into error - ORA-01194: file
Exception to this would be hot cloning method. In that case, customer can follow Appendix B of Note.230672.1 for Oracle Applications 11i and Appendix A ofNote.406982.1 for Oracle Applications R12.
Section 2. Performing Rapid Clone
8. For any issue with Cloning stage area viz. $RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone on Database tier and $COMMON_TOP/clone on Application tier, recreate the cloning stage area on source system and re-copy it to target. The procedure is as follows :
On the Database tier:-
* Rename RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil to $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil_old
* On the Apps Tier, run "perl $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl"
* Copy the appsutil.zip to the RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME and unzip
* Copy the Context file from RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil_old to the new $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil
* Run AutoConfig on the DB Tier
* Do the "Prepare Source system" steps i.e "perl adpreclone.pl dbTier"
On the Application tier:-
* Rename $COMMON_TOP/clone to $COMMON_TOP/clone_old
* Rename 8.0.6 $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil to $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil_old (for 11i)
Rename 10.1.2 $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil to $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil_old (for R12)
* Rename iAS $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil to $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil_old (for 11i)
Rename 10.1.3 $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil to $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil_old (for R12)
* Do the "Prepare Source system" steps i.e "perl adpreclone.pl appsTier"
9. When need arises to re-run adcfgclone on Database tier, ensure that database and listener services are shutdown before re-running adcfgclone.
Section 3. Post Rapid Clone Checklist
10. Review the target system context file on Database tier and Application tier and ensure that none of the context variables refer to source system value.If any of context variables in the Target system Context file appear to be incorrect, then check this log file to see how the incorrect value arose.
Database tier: $TMP/CloneContext_xxxxxx.log
Application tier(s): $TMP/CloneContext_xxxxxx.log
Both tiers: $TMP/adclonectx.err
Database tier: $TMP/CloneContext_xxxxxx.log
Application tier(s): $TMP/CloneContext_xxxxxx.log
Both tiers: $TMP/adclonectx.err
11. Review the fnd_nodes table to ensure that it contains the target system values by running following query after connecting to SQLPlus as apps user :
spool fnd_nodes
set pagesize 50
col node_name format a15
col server_id format a8
col server_address format a15
col platform_code format a4
col webhost format a12
col domain format a20
col virtual_ip format a12
set linesize 132
select
node_id, platform_code, support_db D, support_cp C, support_admin A, support_forms F,
support_web W, node_name, server_id, server_address, domain, webhost, virtual_ip
from
fnd_nodes
order by node_id;
spool off
Note down server_id and compare it with APPL_SERVER_ID parameter value in the
12. Ensure that the following profile options value point to target instance correctly :
- APPS_WEB_AGENT
- APPS_SERVLET_AGENT
- APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT
- APPS_JSP_AGENT
- ICX_FORMS_LAUNCHER
select fnd_profile.value('APPS_WEB_AGENT'),
fnd_profile.value('APPS_SERVLET_AGENT'),
fnd_profile.value('APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT'),
fnd_profile.value('APPS_JSP_AGENT'),
fnd_profile.value('ICX_FORMS_LAUNCHER')
from dual;
