DO I have to enter anything after merge primary node..
Guide Please
any doc's for this..
Thanks
Kai

Kai,
You can choose any node from the application nodes to be the source node, it has nothing to do with which node you did the installation on first (the normal procedure to do multinode installation is to run RapidWiz on the database tier first).
So, what you need to do is the following:
- Choose one of the source system nodes to be the primary node (Let us say Server 2), login as applmgr user, source the env file, and run:
$ cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>
$ perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge - Login as applmgr user on Server 1, source the env file, and run:
$ cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>
$ perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge - Copy the required files for merging
- Shut down all services on Server 1, and Server 2 (Keep the database and its listener up).
- Login as applmgr user on Server 2, and run the following:
$ cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin
$ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier - Complete the finishing tasks

hi all,
i am little bit confused with the above options
can some one explain the options avaliable for adpreclone for both apps tier and database tier
which situations shud be used for wht purpose
i would be very thankfull to you .
thanks,
Vamshi.D

The 'perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge' command is run on your primary node
Whereas the 'perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge' is run all other secondary nodes you want to merge.

Reg Adcfgclone after merge appltop error

Hi,
Mine is 2 node architecture.
Web & Forms in one node.
Admin,Concurrent and DB in another node.
Version is 11.5.10.2 and db is 10.2.0.4
I want to do Multinode to single node cloning using merge appltop.
I ran perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge in admin node and
perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge in webnode.
I took hotbackup of DB.
Then in Target system
I have created control file and recover the db and open it in resetlogs.
i have manually created a listener for it.
Now my db and db listener is up.
I copied the comn_top,appl_top and ora_top from my admin node to target system.
then i copied appl folder from comn_top/clone/appl from web node to target system comn_top/clone/appl.
Then i run adcfgclone.pl appsTier from target system admin node.
It completed successfully but since i forget to add temp tablespace autoconfig ends in error.
Then i added the temp table space and run the adautocfg.sh which ends in error as

EBS 11.5.10.2 Merge Multi Node to Single node.

Hello,
I have a two node EBS Production application tier running on 11.5.10.2.
I have the concurrent manager running on Node A, and the rest of the services running on Node B. I'd like to retire the Node A server.
Can someone help me with the steps to move the concurrent manager to Node B and remove Node A from the configuration?
The steps I have come up with so far are:
1. Run maintain snapshot information on Node A & B.
2. Run perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge on Node B.
3. Run perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge on Node A.
4. From Node A copy $COMMON_TOP/clone/appl to Node B.
5. Shutdown application tier on Node A & B.
6. Copy log and output files to Node B.
7. Run perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier on Node B.
8. On node B run :
Adadmin -> generate JAR files
-> generate message files
-> relink executables
-> copy files to destination
Adadmin -> Check for missing files, and manually copy files if needs
9. On node B run: EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
10. Start Application tier and verify changes.
I'm not sure step 9 is right for this process. I want to keep the printer configuration.

1. Run maintain snapshot information on Node A & B.
2. Run perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge on Node B.
3. Run perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge on Node A.
4. From Node A copy $COMMON_TOP/clone/appl to Node B.
5. Shutdown application tier on Node A & B.
6. Copy log and output files to Node B.
7. Run perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier on Node B.
8. On node B run :
Adadmin -> generate JAR files
-> generate message files
-> relink executables
-> copy files to destination
Adadmin -> Check for missing files, and manually copy files if needs
9. On node B run: EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
10. Start Application tier and verify changes.
I'm not sure step 9 is right for this process. I want to keep the printer configuration.All your steps look OK to me -- -- (Sharing the Application Tier File System in Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 233428.1] -- Section 4: Merging existing APPL_TOPs into a single APPL_TOP)
Step 9 is correct and you need to purge FND_NODES table and run AutoConfig on all tier nodes (you will not lose any printer configuration) --

Difference between appsTier and appltop

Hi,
What is the difference between ..
$ perl adpreclone appsTier merge and
$ perl adpreclone appltop merge
thx
Romit

Both commands are used to merge existing APPL_TOPs.
On the primary node: Run "perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge"
On each of the secondary nodes being merged: Run "perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge"

3 Node Production to 2 node Test clone

Hi all,
We need to clone from our 3 node Production system to 2 node Test system. In our Production system, "APPL_TOP is not shared".
Source Nodes:(Production)
Node A. Databse Tier
Node B: Conc+admin
Node c: forms+web
Test server:
Node D: Database Node
Node E: Application tier node
I am extracted the following method from the Cloning Doc and Doc 233428.1,
Please correct me if i am going wrong in any of the steps.
On Source
1. Prepare the source system database tier(Node A) for cloning
cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
2. On Node B
cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge
3. On Node C
cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>
perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge
4. Copy following from Node B to Node E
prodappl
prodcomn
prodora
5. Copy the required files for merging from Node c to Node E
Log in as the APPLMGR user to node c and recursively copy:
directory <COMMON_TOP>/clone/appl from node c to
directory <COMMMON_TOP>/clone/appl on Node E
6. From Node A to Node D
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
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
On Target :
7. On Node D
cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier
8. On Node E
cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
9.On Node E do the finishing Task as mentioned
Log in to the target system application tier nodes as the APPLMGR user.
Run the following tasks in adadmin for all products:
o generate JAR files
o generate message files
o relink executables
But my doubt is if I wanted to do 3 node to 3 node cloning in future, At that point of time i have to Perepare my Production system with(In Node B and Node c)
cd <COMMON_TOP>/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier
Is the Above Preclone run of " appsTier merge" will conflict with the Preclone of "appsTier" for 3 node to 3 node clone, Please clear my doubt.
Thanks and Regards
Vasu

In note 372758.1 they are explaining the someother workaround please suggest me the Proper solution to over come the issue.
I am on 11.5.10.2 instance with AD.I.6
============================
please execute the following steps:
Please try the solutions one-by-one.
1. Please try ONLY to choose primary node the WEB node and then you'll go to the other node(s) - ADMIN, etc.
2. If the issue is not resolved and you have the same APPL_TOP names please do:
i. modify both XML files for having different APPL_TOP names like: "grp1" and "grp2" instead of:
<APPL_TOP_NAME oa_var="s_atName">grp</APPL_TOP_NAME>
ii. truncate the AD_APPL_TOPS table
iii. run AUTOCONFIG in this order: first on DB-Tier and on APPS -Tiers
iv. run ADADMIN --> Maintain Snapshot Information on all nodes
v. start the merging from WEB node and then go to Admin node and to the other nodes.
3. If you will still have the same error, please do:
i. re-apply the AD patchsets you currently have (ie: 11i.AD.I.2 minipack - Patch 4337683, 11i.AD.I.4, etc)
with the following options for ADPATCH:
adpatch options=nocopyportion,nodatabaseportion,nogenerateportion,hotpatch
and choose the patch driver file uXXXXXX.drv
ii. run ADADMIN --> Maintain Snapshot Information on all nodes
iii. start again the merge choosing WEB node and then go to Admin node and to the other nodes.
===================
Thanks and Regards

Internal Server Error after implemeting a Merged Appl_top

Hi folks,
I have been plagued by an issue since a long time. I'm implementing a merged appltop on sun solaris (5.10) on 11.5.10.2
Basically its a clone of two nodes into a single node. After merging, the services are coming up good. Apache is running well. But when opening the AppsLogin page, it is blowing up saying Internal Server Error.
When looked into the mod_jserv.log, it shows the below error.

Run Preclone merge in read only database

HI ,
I have a production database is reserved for normal clone ( multi node clone ) . I have a new assignment that need to merge a appltop for a single node clone . so we choose a DR database as source , which is a read only database . When I run perl adpreclone.pl merge and enter apps password It return “ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
Is any have any idea how to get around this problem so that I can continue my preclone merge ?
Thanks

Questions on Merging Dis-similar Data Types...

I am using Web-I version 11.5.8.834 (We do not use the Crystal Reports module, all of our reports are built with Web-I).
I have two questions:
Question 1: First I am attempting to create a report from two different universes and need to merge a dimension from each universe. The two dimensions have similar data, but one is set up as a "string", and the other universe has the same data set up as a "number". Our IT department creates and maintains the universes and I have requested that one of the dimension data type be changed to match the other, but I am told that other users have already set up reports using these dimensions and to change them at this point might cause a problem with their reports. So my first question is: Can two separate dimensions be setup within a single universe, using the same data field, each having different data types (e.g., a field with numeric data be set up as a "string" and a second dimension be setup as a "number")? If this works, I can make a recommendation to our IT department to do this and I will not have to resort to Question 2. but just in case, here is Question 2:
Question 2: I have two other dimensions that I might be able to use, but it requires creating a variable and "trimming" data off of each of the fields. The first universe is a part number with three alpha characters followed by four numeric characters (PRT1234). The second universe has a serial number, in which the first four characters match the last four characters of the other universe (1234-00111). If I trim off the first three characters from the first universe using a variable (=right([Part_Number];4), and trim off the last six characters from the second universe using a variable (=left([Serial_Number],4), the variables will have matching data. The second question is: Can variables be merged? I've tried, but it isn't working so far. If so, can someone give me some hints on how to do it?

Edited by: Charles Norman on Aug 8, 2008 11:43 AM

Charles,
Can variables be merged?
No, local variables cannot be merged. The manipulation must be performed at the database level via Designer before the data comes across to the report. As an aside, your IT deparatment can create "new" objects just for you, placed in the list under a separate sub-class that manipulates the data to your liking and will not upset other users who already built reports using the original columns of data. I guess my point is that you can have multiple objects placed in your universe that derive from the same column in a given table -- user A has it per their flavor and user B has it per his flavor.
Thanks,
John

Can I merge several different Verizon plans (different family members each have own plans) into one plan (i.e. can I take over all their lines), if all lines on all plans are on Edge?

I was originally told by Verizon that if I joined, I can eventually take over the lines of various family members. Now that I've joined, and my family members all upgraded their phones and are on Edge, Verizon is telling us that we can't merge into one plan (because Edge lines can't be transferred to another account).
Is this true, and, if so, what is my recourse since I was lied to.

Well, yes and no (as far as being lied to). I asked on several occasions (I have the chat transcripts to prove it) if there would be any issue if the lines were all already on Edge, and was told each time that under no circumstances would there be any issue. The latest being today (I know it's after the fact, but I wanted proof that this is what the chat people are saying). I asked "I have currently have an account with 3 phones on Edge. My brother and his wife, and my parents, also have plans all on Edge. I would like to 'take over' their lines. I want to make sure there is no issue with the Edge plan and that I can simply 'take over' their lines with no problems." I was told "Yes. That would be correct." Again, this is what I was told in the past as well (my original post didn't make clear the timing of the chats and upgrades to Edge..). Every time I chatted I mentioned that the accounts were going to be on Edge or (later on) were already on Edge. Even before my family members upgraded to Edge, not one single chat or phone representative (and my brother asked the same thing in a store) mentioned NOT to upgrade to Edge because it couldn't be transferred. Everyone just said yep, no problem. The ONLY reason I even joined Verizon (I was on Straight Talk) was because of the More Everything and Edge plans (we wanted a family plan with 6 people and over 10GB so we'd each save $25/line). Otherwise I never would have joined Verizon and my family wouldn't have upgraded either.

HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

I have three itunes accounts and want to merge them

I have three iTunes accounts and have found that at times we have purchased multiple of the same items as a result. Can I merge two of the lesser accounts by gifting or otherwise migrating the songs, apps, videos etc to one master account?

Not Possible...

I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.
