Why and What?Cloning creates an identical copy of an existing Oracle Applications system. There are various reasons for cloning an Oracle Applications system such as:

Creating a copy of the production system for testing updates. Migrating an existing system to new hardware. Creating a stage area to reduce patching downtime.

Prerequisites

Verify Source and target nodes versionsOUI versionOUI version should be 2.2.0.19.0. To check OUI version of 9i ORACLE_HOME edit /u01/oraclone/clonedb/9.2.0/appsoui/oui/oraparam.ini

To check OUI version of IAS_ORACLE_HOME edit /u01/applclone/cloneora/iAS/appsoui/oui/oraparam.ini

If OUI version is not accurate then apply the following patch 5035661

PERL versionPerl version should be 5.005. To check the version, give perl –v at command prompt. JREJre should be 1.1.8.JDKJDK verison should be 1.3.ZipZip version should be 2.3.

Apply the latest AD MinipackApply patch 4712852 (AD.I.4) or higher.Why??It includes new features likea) The AD Check Digest utility checks the integrity of files downloaded from

Oracleb) AD Admin and AD controller support for Non-Interactive mode.c) AD Merge Patch Utilityd) Distributed AD.

Apply the latest AutoConfig Template patchUpdate the Oracle Applications file system with the latest AutoConfig template files by applying the TXK AutoConfig Template rollup patch to all application tier server nodes.

What?AutoConfig is a tool that supports automated configuration of an Applications instance. When AutoConfig runs on the Application tier, it uses information from the Applications Context file to generate all configuration files and update database profiles. When AutoConfig runs on the Database tier, it uses information from the Database Context file to generate all configuration files used on the Database tier.

Apply the latest Rapid Clone patchesUpdate the Oracle Applications file system with the latest Rapid Clone files by applying the following patches to all application tier server nodes:

4709948 (TXK (FND) AUTOCONFIG TEMPLATE ROLLUP PATCH M)

It includes TXK AutoConfig template files to configure the Technology Stack for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i instances using AutoConfig. These template files have no effect on the E-Business Suite configuration until the AutoConfig utility is run.

Setup Rapid Clone on the Applications TierAlready 11.5.10 is AutoConfig enabled. Run Autoconfig on Application tier.

Setup Rapid Clone on the Database TierAlready 11.5.10 is AutoConfig enabled. Run Autoconfig on Database tier.

Maintain Snapshot informationThis task stores information about files, file versions, and bug fixes present in an APPL_TOP. Chose this option to record the current set of files and file versions in your APPL_TOP.

SINGLE-TO-SINGLE NODE CLONING

System Information

Source Machine info:Node1: ocvmrh2144.us.oracle.comSID: db01App User: appldb01DB user: oradb01

Target machine info:Node2: ocvmrh2149.us.oracle.comSID: cloneApp User: applcloneDB user: oraclone

Using RapidCloneUse Rapid Clone to create template files for cloning on the source system. After the source system is copied to the target, Rapid Clone updates these templates to contain the new target system configuration settings. Rapid Clone will not change the source system configuration.

Three phases to clone:Prepare the source systema) Prepare the Source System DB tier for cloning

Log on to the source system as the oradb01 user and run the following commands:cd <RDBMSORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/scripts/db01_ovcmrh2144/         perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

b) Prepare the Source system App tier for cloning.Log on to the source system as the appldb01 user and run the following commands.cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/ db01_ovcmrh2144/         perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

Copy the Source System to the Target SystemCopy the application tier file system from the source Applications system to the target node. Ensure that the target APPLCLONE user owns application tier files copied to the target system, and the ORACLONE user owns database tier files.

a) Log on to the source system application tier nodes as the APPLDB01 user. Shut down the application tier server processes Copy the following application tier directories from the source node to

the target application tier node: b) Copy the database tier file system

Log on to the source system database node as the ORDB01 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

Configure the Target SystemYou will be prompted for the target system specific values (SID, Paths, Ports, etc)a) Configure the target system database serverLog on to the target system as the ORACLONE user and type the following commands to configure and start the database:  cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/clone/bin         perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier

b) Configure the target system application tier server nodesLog on to the target system as the APPLCLONE user and type the following commands:         cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin         perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier

Post Steps:o Change APPS and SYSADMin Password using FNDCPASS utility.o Relink Oracle Applications.o Update Snapshot.

Problems & Solutions:

After cloning when we look at the OAM screen, we realized that concurrent processing server and admin server was running on both the nodes (ocvmrh2144, ocvmrh2149),According to the configuration db, cps, admin are supposed to be only in ocvmrh2149While web, forms are supposed to be in ocvmrh2144

To solve this We checked the fnd_nodes table and it shows cps and admin on both the nodes.We took a backup of fnd_nodes table and executed this command

EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;Commit;

This script clears the fnd_nodes table.after this we ran the autoconfig on both the nodes and bounced the db.Autoconfig would insert all the data into the fnd_nodes table.The rectified information can be seen in the OAM screen.

System Information

Source Machine info:Node1: ocvmrh2144.us.oracle.com (admin, db, concurrent server)Node2: ocvmrh2149.us.oracle.com (Form and web servers)SID: db01App User: appldb01DB user: oradb01

Target machine info:Node1: ocvmrh2149.us.oracle.com (admin, db and concurrent server)Node2: ocvmrh2144.us.oracle.com (Form and web servers)

SID: cloneApp User: applcloneDB user: oraclone

Prepare the source systemc) Prepare the Source System DB tier for cloning

Log on to the source system as the oradb01 user and run the following commands:cd <RDBMSORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/scripts/db01_ovcmrh2144/         perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

d) Prepare the Source system App tier for cloning.Log on to the source system as the appldb01 user and run the following commands on both the nodes (ocvmrh2144 and ocvmrh2149)cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/ db01_ovcmrh2144/         perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

Copy the Source System to the Target SystemCopy the application tier file system from the source Applications system to the target nodes. Ensure that the target APPLCLONE user owns application tier files copied to the target system, and the ORACLONE user owns database tier files.

b) Log on to the source system application tier nodes as the APPLDB01 user. Shut down the application tier server processes Copy the following application tier directories from the source node to

the target application tier nodes: b) Copy the database tier file system

Log on to the source system database node as the ORDB01 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

Configure the Target SystemYou will be prompted for the target system specific values (SID, Paths, Ports, etc)a) Configure the target system database serverLog on to the target system as the ORACLONE user and type the following commands to configure and start the database:  cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/clone/bin         perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier b) Configure the target system application tier server nodes (ocvmrh2144 and ocvmrh2149)Log on to the target system as the APPLCLONE user and type the following commands:

         cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin         perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
