STEP: 2
Apply the Rapid Clone patch
3453499 in the Application Tier Administration node (as the APPLMGR user):
o Log in to the APPL_TOP environment (source the environment file)
o Create appsutil.zip file
perl AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl
o This will create appsutil.zip in $APPL_TOP/admin/out
* On the Database Tier (as the ORACLE user):
o Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the
o cd RDBMS ORACLE_HOME
unzip -o appsutil.zip
STEP :3
Clone Oracle Applications 11i
Prepare the source system database tier for cloning
Log on to the source system as the ORACLE user and run the following commands:
cd RDBMS ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/CONTEXT_NAME
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
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 COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/CONTEXT_NAME
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier
STEP :4
Copy the Source System to the Target System
Copy the application tier file system
APPL_TOP
OA_HTML
OA_JAVA
OA_JRE_TOP
COMMON_TOP>/util
COMMON_TOP>/clone
COMMON_TOP>/_pages (when this directory exists)
806 ORACLE_HOME
iAS ORACLE_HOME
Copy the database tier file system
# Copy the database (DBF) files from the source to the target system
# Copy the source database ORACLE_HOME to the target system
STEP : 5
Configure the Target System
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 RDBMS ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier
Configure the target system application tier server nodes
Log on to the target system as the APPLMGR user and type the following commands:
cd COMMON_TOP/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
STEP :6
