numbers and ensure that you have all prerequisites foryour particular installation before applying any patches.

The Basic Steps for Cloning

After installing the Rapid Clone and AutoConfig patches,

you are ready to clone an instance. There are ten basicsteps involved. I have outlined them below:

1. Run system configuration on the Application tier:/admin/scripts//adautocfg.shUse the APPS password when prompted.

2. Run system configuration on the database tier:/appsutil//scripts/adautocfg.shUse the APPS password when prompted.

3. Copy AutoConfig to the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME:Apply patch 2952369 to acquire adchkcfg utility.Create appsutil.zip file by: perl/bin/admkappsutil.pl.Copy appsutil.zip file to the unzip -o appsutil.zip

4. Generate the database context file:cd /appsutil/binadbldxml.sh tier=database appsuser=

appspasswd=Output log is written to:$ORACLE_HOME/appsuti/out//cfgcheck.txt

5. Generate and apply AutoConfig configuration file:cd /appsutil/binadconfig.sh contextfile=appspass=

6. Prepare for source database clone:cd /appsutil/scrips/

./perl adpreclone.pl dbTier7. Prepare for source application clone:

cd /admin/scripts/./perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

8. Copy the application tier file system:Logon to the source system as APPLMGR and shutdown the server processes.

Copy the following application directories from thesource to the target node/file system:

Shut down the source database and copy it to thetarget node/file system.Restart the source database and source applicationserver processes.

9. Configure the target system database sever:

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

10. Configure the target system application tier:cd /clone/bin./perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier

Note: These steps are for a single node install. If you areusing Oracle Workflow, you must updatewf_notification_attributes and wf_item_attribute_values.

Version 2.1.0.17 of the Oracle Universal Installer and Perl

5.005 should be installed and included in your path. Besure to review your install logs after cloning to make surethere are no errors. After you have verified connectivity inthe cloned environment, have a user navigate through thesystem to verify the clone is functional and complete.
