Cloning question JAVA_TOP

Dear all,
I am bit confused about this question. While running adcfgclone dbTier it is asking
Target System JAVA_TOP location [null]:
I am bit confused about this.
shoud it be $ORACLE_HOME(RDBMA)/jre/1.4.2

Hi helios,
I found the problem with this one after 2 hours. While using tar command i used the complete path for source and destination. And at the destination that mountpoint did not have much space and can not be increased or mooved.
I tried using -C directory, to extract tar file in some other directory but failed.
Finally i used this command
# pax -rpe -f /tmp/samba.tar -s :^/samba:/newdir1/newdir2:g
Wrote from memory, but the above command sample should restore files from /samba into /newdir1/newdir2. Read the man page and adapt to your needs.
from http://www.unix.com/aix/91694-untar.html
It worked and extracted to different directory.
I wonder why i never get perl adcfgclone.pl (both tiers) go in one shot. I always get some problems and need to do many workarounds. [I GUESS THEY DONT HAVE LATEST Rapid clone patches].
Regards
Taher

  • Cloning question

    Hi All,
    I have a question about cloning. In copying apps tier to destination, I am asked to copy those files to appldev, and not applmgr. The database files are still under oracle.
    I am not sure what will be the impact from this? Any process or scripts I need to run to accomodate this change?
    Thanks,

    I am not sure what will be the impact from this? Any process or scripts I need to run to accomodate this change?There should be no impact as long as the appldev user owns all the application tier node files on the target machine. So, all what you have to do after running preclone on the source application node, and copying the files is to change the ownership of the files on the target application tier node (make the files owned by appldev), then run postclone on the target node as appldev user.

  • Object cloning question

    Hello all,
    I have a question about cloning a class. My class is something like this...
    public class Message implements Cloneable
      int id;
      Fields fromClient;
      Fields fromProcessor;
      Fields toClient;
      Fields toProcessor;
      protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
        return (super.clone());
    }FYI, the Fields object is another class that contains a Vector of Field objects... A Field is simple class containing three strings, one string named name, one is named value, the other string is named defaultValue.
    At application startup, I create this class and each of the Fields objects are initialized with various Field object stuff.
    Message baseMessage = new Message();Later in the process, when I need to create a new Message object, instead of doing a 'new' I instead do a
    Message msg1 = baseMessage.clone();The newly cloned msg1 object is then processed and manipulated.
    The problem I am having is that on the next call to
    Message msg2 = baseMessage.clone();the newly cloned msg2 object contains the contents of msg1! This is very strange because I thought that msg2 would be a clone of baseMessage which does not contain any of the information found in msg1...
    Any ideas? I hope I explained it well enough...
    Thanks,
    -Jeff

    Also, did you realy intend your clone() method tobe protected?
    I am not really sure why a make the clone()
    protected. I most likely read somewhere that it
    needed to be protected... Is this a bad thing?Not necessarily. It depends on who you want to be able to clone your object. If you want everbody to be able to, make it public. If you want only classes in that package and subclasses of your class to be able to do it, make it protected. I just wondered because public is probably more common.
    As for your other comment about why you weren't using new: You can still use new to make a deep or shallow copy. It's called a copy constructor.
    public class Message {
      public Message(Message orig) {
        field1 = orig.field1; // shallow copy
        field2 = new Field2(orig.field2); // deep copy, assuming Field2 has such a constructor
        etc.
    }

  • Copying or cloning question...

    I'm upgrading my MBP with a bigger hard drive this weekend.
    I know of a couple of recommended programs to 'clone' my HD (Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper) my question is:
    Do these programs actually make an identical copy (clone) of the source, complete with any fragmentation and scattered files, or do these programs transfer the data in a logical order and reassemble files and, in doing so, de-frag the data?
    I'm guessing they do the former but wonder if the later is possible in any way.
    Would a better way of restoring the data be to install the OS from DVD, upgrade/update to it's latest spec and then run the migration program (again, I'm assuming the migration program does more than just 'clone' the data)?
    Thanks...

    They do the latter - those are file-based duplication programs, so cloning the drive with either program will defrag it (although FYI, the Mac OS automatically defrags files <20 MB in the background). It's actually more work to make a byte-for-byte copy (which you don't want to do).
    The reinstall of the OS and migrate from the old system would work too, but your easiest path in this case is just to clone the drive with either of the two programs you mentioned.

  • Newbie macbook cloning question (30 macbooks)

    I am a PC network admin for over 10 years and the school i work for made the decision to go all Mac... so.... Hi.
    We are starting out with about 30 macbooks in a lab environment. Active Directory. All will be using the same network AD name and password.
    I can get them set up fine on my network (glad I crossed that hurddle) but now my question is what the latest, easiest cloning/imaging solution is?
    I don't necessarily HAVE to have a solution that can do more than one at a time, but in a year we will roll out a 1 to 1 so having the ability to clone several at once is a plus.
    I have read about Bombich's NetRestore and CopyCatX but am not really sure how good or current they are.
    My other question is are there any "hardware" solutions? May sound like a dumb question, but like a cart device you can plug all the macbooks in and it clones them? I had heard of something similar for ipad carts but it was just syncing all the apps.
    Thanks in advance and I apologize in advance for my newness

    There are numerous options for creating bootable clones if you prefer not to use Bombich's NetRestore.
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    SuperDuper!
    The Restore option of Disk Utility
    CCC is free to schools and teachers. SuperDuper! is free to use only for full clones. If you want to use other features then you must purchase a license for $25 (I think.)
    It is easy enough to set up the base system you want on one computer then create a disc image of that base system and burn it to a dual-layer DVD that can be used to boot and install on all the other computers.
    You don't actually need a hardware server as you can run OS X Server on any Mac. Once Lion is released the Server software will become available for $30.00 in addition to the $30.00 for Lion. In your case if the computers were purchased on or after June 6th, then you will have 30 days after the release of Lion to get a redemption coupon for a free copy of Lion. The details will be made available on Apple's website once Lion is released.

  • Carbon Copy Cloning question.

    Hi all.
    Today I made a CCC (exact clone) of my hard drive to an external HD via a USB connection. I wanted a bootable backup of everything. To achieve this end one of the requirements in the setup process was the need to erase the target volume.
    This I did. But when the job was done I received the following message:
    "The target volume will not boot powerPC Macs. PowerPC Macs can only boot from a hard drive that is partitioned with the Apple Partition Map format".
    So what does that mean, and what do I have to do to comply with this requirement? Obviously erasing the target HD does not do the trick.

    What I find strange, why does the error message not say exactly what the problem is instead of using criptic messages.
    The message seems cryptic because you have interpreted it as an error message when it actually is an informational message, one that warns you about a restriction on the kind of +partition scheme+ required to boot a PowerPC-based Mac.
    A partition scheme is not the same as a +file system+. A partition scheme defines how a drive is portioned into sections for different purposes. A file system defines how one or more of those sections, called partitions, is organized into files. "Apple Partition Map" (APM) is an example of a partition scheme. "Mac OS Extended" (HFS Plus or HFS+) is an example of a file system.
    Partition schemes are associated with hardware & firmware items that control the beginning stages of the boot process, before a full-fledged operating system is loaded from a file system. It is called "booting the system" because of the analogy to "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps" -- it seems paradoxical because the OS can't load its files if it isn't already loaded from them. All modern Macs (& most PC's) depend on a sort of "mini OS" embedded in the firmware to overcome this, either +Open Firmware+ ("OF") for PPC-based Macs or +Extensible Firmware Interface+ ("EFI") for Intel-based ones.
    Neither firmware-based mini OS is sophisticated enough to read the contents of file systems directly; instead it reads data from a predefined location on the drive, defined by the partition scheme, which in turn tells it how to load the next part of the boot sequence, which eventually leads to the components of an OS being loaded that can read from & write to the file systems it supports.
    Thus, it is not sufficient that the boot partition be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for the OS that it contains to boot a PPC-based Mac. If it is part of the wrong partition scheme, the OF will never find it. Similarly, because the built-in OF doesn't explicitly support booting from USB-connected drives, it is unsupported by Apple & may generate a similar informational message.

  • Another HD cloning question

     I have been looking through the forum at have seen a number of posts on this topic. But, most covered XP and Vista and I am running win 7 64 bit. I just installed a 2nd hdd and it works use fine, but I would like to make it my primary HD. So I want to clone my existing boot drive on to my 750GB hdd. I would like to get a exact image with all partitions and functionality. I would like some suggestions as to how to do this. I would prefer to just do a drive to drive image but it seems that may not work.
     Suggestions please. I am aware that I could use the recovery disks just trying to avoid doing that.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The last time I did that sort of thing, I wanted to keep my original drive exactly as it was. My thought was that I could just put it back and start over. The most important thing to me was to avoid all chance of a disaster. I had an external location (USB hard drive or network share) where I took normal backups. I used Acronis (my normal backup program) to take a full backup to the external device. I then removed the original drive and put it into a drawer. If things went badly, I would put the original drive back and be where I started. I then installed my new drive and booted using an Acronis recovery CD so I could do the kind of restore I would do if I were recovering from a disk crash. I did a recovery to the new disk keeping the exact geometry of the original, to limit the possibility of the tool screwing around with the master boot record and leaving a mess. I booted the new disk and made sure everything was there and working. At that time, I had a big unallocated space at the end of the disk. I then ran a partition tool (I use Paragon Partition Manager) to resize the partitions to what I wanted. The whole time, I had the original disk safe.

  • Installed 10.5 and my NTSC monitor no longer displays In Final Cut Pro

    I have been working on a movie project for over a year, and have used an external NTSC monitor via the S-Video cable adapter for the ATI Radeon X1900. It has worked perfectly, until I installed 10.5.1. Now it displays the desktop. All of my other windows within Final Cut work as they always have, and I've tried setting the "mirror on desktop" setting every way it can be set up, and so far nothing has worked. I can move the canvas window over to the secondary montior and it displays fine, so I know the display is "working." I have installed a firmware update for the Radeon card, and I have also updated my Pro Apps.
    Any ideas?
    Thanx!

    In answer to your questions:
    I updated to access better pathways in the hardware (i.e., I was under the impression that my system would work faster than before, and when working on films, faster is always better). Also, the project was supposed to be done. I felt this would be an advantageous time to do so. As it happened, the director decided to shoot new footage.
    I have only just been able to purchase more drives, so no to the cloning question.
    In this case, I did an upgrade install, and also upgraded the Pro Apps when that update became available.
    If I may say, please post something useful, rather than "maybe you shouldn't have done this." I am looking for answers, not criticism, and if I could undo what I've done easily, I would. I have over twenty years experience in Macintosh hardware and software. My feeling on this particular issue is that if Apple only sells one video card that is compatible with an S-video output, then their video/film editing software should continue to work with it, even if that software is updated.

  • Problems updating from 10.1, to 10.2, to 10.3, to 10.4

    Hello. I've been a OSX user since 10.1, and I have the upgrade discs to prove it. I have the 10.1 Install discs, then 10.2 upgrade, 10.3 upgrade, and 10.4 upgrade.
    Now, I want to install 10.4 onto a new 160GB HD, to replace the 20GB startup drive I have now. 10.1 installs fine, and man, what a blast from the past that is. But, when I try to install the 10.2 upgrade, booting from the cd never gets past the dark-grey apple screen. Likewise with the 10.3 upgrade disc. And of course, the 10.4 upgrade disc requires 10.3.
    You can see where I'm going with this. I've been locked out of ever installing 10.4 again. Lord help me if I lose my old startup disk.
    My Questions.
    1) Can I just copy the System/Library/Users files/folders from the current startup drive on to the new drive, and it will work?
    2) Is there any way I can trade in my 10.1/10.2/10.3/10.4 upgrade path cds for a single 10.4 Install DVD?

    1) Can I just copy the System/Library/Users
    files/folders from the current startup drive on to
    the new drive, and it will work?
    This will not work in OS X. There are some symbolic links that have to be set correctly and dragging will not get the job done.
    2) Is there any way I can trade in my
    10.1/10.2/10.3/10.4 upgrade path cds for a single
    10.4 Install DVD?
    I don't really know but am a bit doubtful about this.
    Can you boot off the 10.1 on the new drive? If not, something sounds amiss and you probably need to get it fixed before having success.
    If your new drive is a firewire drive, you should be able to clone your entire system from the old drive to the new drive. This would give you a bootable version of your present 10.4 system (which is evidently what you have on the old drive). There are a number of utilities which can do this. Apple's Disk Utility can actually do this job. There are good instructions for doing this in a post by Kappy at Cloning Question. Kappy also gives instructions for zeroing and reformatting the new drive. That would be a good thing to do.

  • Questions on Cloning Ebusiness suite.

    Hi,
    I performed a cloning on my site, where the target the instance (PRD) and the source instance is(DEV) in two different servers and has two diffrent name.
    I used the rapid clone to perform this activity, and basically used the tar command to take take the complete directory structure from PRD to DEV.
    The question is after i ran the post clone script, i have new directories and env scripts created under the new context name along with the context name that I had of the prd. SO basically i have two context names now
    - one which came along with the source system directory structure.
    - one which was created after running the post clone scripts along with new instancename_servername,
    I wanted know is this the behavior after cloning or must I do any other task in order to remove this patterns.

    Hi,
    I wanted know is this the behavior after cloning or must I do any other task in order to remove this patterns.This is an expected behavior and you will have to delete the directories/files of the source instance manually on the target application/database.

  • EBS 12.1.3: a few questions about cloning

    Hi,
    We have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1.
    A few questions about cloning from shared application tier environment to non-shared application tier environment. We have been following "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]"
    Source environment (shared app tier):
    - Two active application nodes and LB
    - One active database and one passive database setup with Oracle Data Guard.
    - SSL termination at the load balancer
    - PCP implemented
    Target environment (non-shared app tier):
    - One active application node
    - One active database node
    - No SSL
    - No PCP
    After the cloning was completed we noticed the following problems in the target system:
    1) Home page cannot be accessed as application tier $CONTEXT_FILE still contains "https" and ssl termination settings.
    Workaround:
    Modify (with text editor) Application Tier $CONTEXT_FILE as follows.
    <webentryurlprotocol oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol" customized="yes">http</webentryurlprotocol>
    <sslterminator oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
    <login_page oa_var="s_login_page" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
    <externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
    Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
    Is there a better and supported solution for this?
    2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
    1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
    2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
    3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
    4. Restart application tier
    Is there a better solution for this?
    3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?
    4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?
    5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks for your answers in advance.

    3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
    4. Restart application tier

    3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?By default, Rapid Clone will create the target database in noarchivelog mode.
    4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this?

    What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down.

And, you do not need to shutdown the application to run "Maintain Snapshot Information".

E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
    If it is working from one browser, then it should not be an EM issue. Have you tried from a different client and see if this works? Have you changed any setting in your IE browser? Please make sure you add the EM URL to the trusted sites list.
    Thanks,

  • Question about using blending modes when cloning

    Hi I want to clone on a blank layer above the background layer. I have the tool set to curent and below and the blank layer is set to normal blending mode.  I want the cloning to be in darken blending mode. I change the blending mode of the clone stamp tool to darken. Will that work on a blank layer that is set to normal or is it necessary to also change the blending mode for the blank layer to darken as well? Thanks for your help.

    Well thanks. It's not just a portion of the image that I want to clone on using different blend modes, but the entire image. I didn't want to duplicate the background to clone on as it adds a lot in size to the image and its harder to edit out incase I make a mistake. Guess I will have to have two layers, one set to lighten and one to darken. I wish that Adobe would make photoshop work in the next version so that you could just change the blending mode of the clone stamp tool in the tool bar. Wasn't it like this in versions before CS5?
    So I have another question for you. Can I use the healing brush on lighten and darken blending modes on a blank layer set to normal with sample current and below selected? Or do I have to switch between two separate layers, one set to lighten, one set to darken?
    Thanks again.

  • Basic questions about cloning a drive

    I'm planning on installing a new Seagate 300GB SATA internal drive and have two basic questions:
    1. Is it advisable to make the new drive my boot drive? Presumably the new drive will be faster than the original Maxtor SATA 160GB, right? (I'm not able to find the Maxtor's specs, as System Profiler causes a spinning beachball).
    2. Why do so many people recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner or other software for cloning the contents of an old boot drive to the new drive? Can't I simply copy the files (via "drag and drop") to the new drive and bless the new drive as the startup drive using the Startup Disk system preference?
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    1. The new drive MAY be faster, depends on which drive you're buying. I think most of the Seagates have an 8mb cache. Which your original Maxtor also more than likely has. Chances are you won't notice any speed boost.
    2. Drag and drop won't work. Cloning is the way to go to insure that everything get's copied to the new drive. I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Both can be tried without buying, but both are worth the $$.
    If I were you I'd install the new drive in the open drive bay, clone the old one over to it, set it as the startup drive in system prefs, and finally once you're certain that everything is working, format the old drive. It doesn't matter which drive bay your startup drive is in.

  • Newbie question - cloning to a new server

    Hi all,
    I am very new to the EBS world, so please forgive the "newbie" question. We are running 12.0.4, and we have approximately 12 different environments. We probably do 3 to 4 clones a week, generally from production to one of the existing environments.
    However, we now have a couple brand new Linux servers, and we want to set them up as a new environment to clone to (one will be apps server, one will be DB server). I am looking at some of the Metalink documents on how to do this. But my basic question is this - do I first have to do a basic EBS installation onto these servers, before I will be able to clone an environment over to them?
    Thanks!!

  • Cloned startup disk question

    This past June I cloned my startup hard drive, the original 320GB HDD that came with my Mac Pro new in March 2008. I used Disk Utility's Restore and erased the new drive first, selecting Mac OS Extended, Journaled. This drive, a WD 1TB Caviar Black, is recognized when I boot from another drive because it shows up as a choice using System Preferences > Startup Disk.
    The question I have is that a second, more recent 1TB drive, a Hitachi 1TB drive, was sent through the same process. My Mac Pro will start up fine using this drive, but when I look at System Preferences > Startup Disk, this newly-cloned drive is not an option. The first cloned drive that I mentioned above is showing, and a second option shows, Network Startup. Why does the Hitachi drive I cloned a couple of days ago not show up in System Preferences > Startup Disk even though my system is booted from this drive?
    The drives were cloned using an eSata dock, and no errors were reported during the 2 to 3 hour process.

    Since I see no way to edit this question, I am adding some more info.
    When I restart my Mac and hold down the option key, both cloned drives (mentioned above) are shown as options for startup - the Hitachi and the WD drives, both clones of the original 320GB drive. Also, a third option is Windows. Since I chose the Hitachi drive as my startup drive, the Mount Point shows it is the primary drive.
    When I select System Preferences > Startup Disk, the Hitachi drive still does not show up as an option.
    One more observation is that when I used About This Mac > More Info, this Hitachi drive has
    Partition Map Type:          MBR (Master Boot Record)
    even though I selected Mac OS Extended (Journaled) when I erased the new drive.
    All the other drives (four of them) show
    Partition Map Type:          GPT (GUID Partition Table)
    Do I need to re-format the drive to ensure it is partitioned as GPT?
