Cloning in release 12

** Now anwsered thank you Hussein for your help **
Hi there,
We have a database that runs out of a seperate oracle home to the tech stack database home that comes bundled with release 12.
I have run preclone of apps and db tier, when I do the db clone it errors.
I decided to self clone this working server to a new database on the same server - a simulation of copying it to another server and cloning it.
Here are my steps so far and a summary of the errors :-
Re-run adpreclone.pl on the database tier and the application tier.
As oracle user :-
cd /u01/oracle/product/11.2/appsutil/
mv clone clone_renamed
cd /u01/oracle/product/11.2/appsutil/scripts/oracoa_isg-fin-coa
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
Verify using :-
cd /u01/oracle/product/11.2/appsutil/clone
Was OK
APPS Tier
As applmgr user :-
cd /u03/oracoa/inst/apps/oracoa_isg-fin-coa/admin/scripts
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier
cd $COMMON_TOP/clone
Was OK
Renamed oracoa to oraclone folder …
I.e. /u02/oradata/oracoa/ to /u02/oradata/oraclone/
Clone fails if it cant find the dbf files ...
Run the db side clone program
Stop the listener first to avoid the port conflict for 1521 …
lsnrctl stop oracoa
As Oracle user :-
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier
oracoa:/u01/oracle/product/11.2/appsutil/clone/bin> perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier

Wondering can seperate db in oracle home actually be cloned this way.
Also has anyone come across this and fixed it ?
Welcome any advice or help.
Many thanks, Rob

Cloning EBS using Oracle VM

Hi does anyone have any practical experience with cloning of release 12 using Oracle VM ?
I need to knock out some environments during the upgrade project - vmware technology is ideal for copying an environment - I dont want to have to clone the db and app server each time as this is time consuming and i AM THINKING THERE may be an easier way ...
Welcome advice from anyone who has cloned 11i or release 12 system using vmware/oracle vm technology.
In the past I have run pre clone on app server, copied app server and db and run adclone to configure the new server .. this is quite time consuming
Concurrent manager uses os hostname command to sort out name of server so this could be a problem which would not work with straight copy and edit to hosts file such that server x thinks it server y because server y is in /etc/hosts file ...
This copy and amend approach has worked Ok with soasuite for example I need advice with respect to Oracle Financials ...
many thanks in advance

This copy and amend approach has worked Ok with soasuite for example I need advice with respect to Oracle Financials ...If you use WMware and if you want to do some upgrade process and dont want to take backup or clone of EBS than you can try to use Snapshoot option. Before start process use menu (It should be under tool menu top of screen) and take snapshoot.Let us say call it Level0 which mean your system working and didnt apply any patch etc.. Each steps of upgrade you can give new name. If you have any issue during upgrade or other process you can turn to snapshoot which u took.
The other steps, you can copy/paste your Wm folder(If you have valid space on disk) and if you have any isue during upgrade you can use this backup but dont forget you need to start over what you do before on this backup(Be sure you have same entery on hosts file)
If you want to take clone, as Hussein Sawwan's mention you need to follow clone docs.

Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone

Hi,
I was going through metalink doc 406982.1 Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone.
I couldn't understand a few points.
I would appreciate if someone can guide me regarding the following queries.
There is a statement in the doc
1)An important principle in Oracle Applications cloning is that the system is cloned, rather than the topology ....
--What is meant by topology in this description?
2)The Cloning methodology posted on this document requires full Autoconfig complience.
--didn't get this point.
3)Note: In the copying tasks below, UNIX/Linux users should ensure that the symbolic links (soft links) are preserved when copying. On most UNIX platforms, this can be accomplished with the cp -RH command. Consult the UNIX man page for the cp command to check the parameters available on your platform.
--what soft links are being talked about?will the regular cp -R command not preserve the soft links?
4)For patching AutoConfig on the E-Business Suite R12 instance, AutoConfig needs to be enabled on both the applications tier and the database tier. (387859.1)
--HOw do I check if AutoConfig is enabled or not?
5)Why do I need to synchronize appsutil on database tier from application tier?
6)Why do we need to maintaain snapshot information?
What does snapshot actually do?
Thannks,
Rushi

Please guide what needs to be done regarding the shown errors for the patches.
after executing adpreclone on db tier I got the following message in logfile.

What could have been wrong?
Is the message normal and can it be safely ignored?

Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i

Hi,
for Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i , is it ncessary to copy jre, oui and oraInventory directories from source database tier file system to trget ?
Many thanks before.

Applications / EBS is discussed in this category http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=11 (and there are more, if you look at the forums home page)
But, in general the oraInventory must exist to be able to patch or otherwise maintain the installation. Wouldn't think copying directories is a supported cloning method... Again, check with the proper forum. And use the Search function!

Releasing Cloned Blocks

While investigating a severe performance issue of buffer busy waits and latch free - cache buffer chains, I noticed that for a particular 1-row table with the majority of the BBW, there was a large number of cloned blocks. (same latch, many entries w/ touch count=1). I also noticed that fairly quickly after the wait contention subsided, that the number of tcn=1 blocks were basically gone.
Is there a function/command/etc. that I could force/"request" Oracle cleanup up any cloned blocks no longer being used?

metalink document suggests Bug 5387030: AUTOMATIC TUNING OF UNDO_RETENTION CAUSING SPACE PROBLEMS, as per the documents there are 3 workarounds & one of them I opted for was Set the autoextend and maxsize attribute of each datafile in the undo ts so it is autoextensible and its maxsize is equal to its current size so the undo tablespace now has the autoextend attribute but does not autoend:
alter database datafile '<datafile_flename>' autoextend on maxsize <current_size>;
With this setting, v$undostat.tuned_undoretention is not calculated based on a percentage of the undo tablespace size, instead v$undostat.tuned_undoretention is set to the maximum of: maxquerylen secs + 300 undo_retention specified in init.ora
As I monitor the undo tablespace, the same query now returns
SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 Gb, status from dba_undo_extents group by status;
GB STATUS
42.399292 EXPIRED
.0625 ACTIVE
SQL> select begin_time, end_time, undoblks, tuned_undoretention, maxquerylen from v$undostat ;
this is a partial output

Oracle Application Server 10g Cloning

Hi All,
Could anyone please advice on How we can create a cloned copy of 10g AS(including infra DB) for DR purpose.Any document or guideline will be highly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think cloning is fine to copy or clone a middle-tier instance. But for a copy of infrastructure DB one needs to use the chapter next to the referred one.

11 Staging a Test Environment from a Production Environment
Oracle® Application Server Administrator's Guide 
10g Release 2 (10.1.2) 
B13995-06 

The term cloning is commonly used for copying the systems but in Oracle AS, it is for copying the middle-tier instances only. That difference is often misleading.

hope that helps.

Oracle Application Server 10g Cloning - Urgent

Hello All,
I have been given a new assignment which involves Oracle Applications server 10g, i am new to oracle application server and hoping that some one will please clarify my doubts.
i have to clone a production machine (Solaris 10) which has oracle AS 10g, this machine had oracle database 10g before and just the application server was installed on it, i have to clone a test environment for this machine, i have the following two doubts
1) Is it possible to just install Oracle Application server 10g on a machine which already contains oracle 10g database, if so then what about the database that gets installed when installing Oracle application server 10g.
2) How to clone the above production machine, should the oracle 10g database be cloned first and then oracle application server 10g cloned on the new machine?
Eagerly waiting for a reply

2) How to clone the above production machine, should the oracle 10g database be cloned first and then oracle application server 10g cloned on the new machine?1) Yes, it is possible. The DB that comes with OAS as the infrastructure DB for it (I presume you are installing a full OAS with infrastructure and midtier both) does not affect the DB you already have on your system ... obviously ... as long as you install them in their separate homes.
2) I always say, this term cloning is somewhat loosely used in general communication meaning making copies. In OAS context, Cloning works for middletiers only. You cannot clone an infrastructure.
To make a redundant/alternate environment for OAS, you can do the following:
- a) either use the same infra on machine 1, and install another midtier and register with the same infra.
- b) or install a separate infra on machine 2, and also a midtier registered with it.
Here for the first option a), Cloning can be used because you can (*only*) clone a middle-tier. There are pros and cons for this setup, including that you share the SSO, and OID, and hence users and groups bases, etc on those two environments - something that you may or may not want. But then there are also some way-outs to avoid them or minimize their effects too. Please see the following reference for cloning and search on Metalink for how to minimize effects, once you get better familiar with the processes.
Oracle® Application Server Administrator's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

[10 Cloning Application Server Middle-Tier Instances|http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/cloning.htm#BCGBDIDF]
For b), you will need to Stage a server as defined in this reference.
[11 Staging a Test Environment from a Production Environment|http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/prodtest.htm]
There are some notes on Metalink which address issues about benefits or procedures of Cloning and Staging an environment too.
There are some other ways to export/transport your applications to another instance across DB. Please also read about them.
hope that helps!

OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

Hi guys,
I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
My question is,
Will the following work?
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
5. Configure the project with the new server
OR
Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
Thanks in advance....

Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

Oleg

Problem in cloning of EBS R12

Description
This patch must be applied on all the APPL_TOPs.
If your system is implemented as a Shared Application Tier File System,
you need to apply this patch only once, on any one of the application
tier nodes. However, AutoConfig must be executed on all the Nodes.
This patch can be applied on 12.1 or higher.
Post Install Steps
After applying this patch, update all Database Tier Nodes with the code level
provided by this patch, by performing the following steps :
1. On the Application Tier (as the APPLMGR user):
. Source the environment variables for Oracle Applications
UNIX:
. ./<APPL_TOP>/APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows:
<APPL_TOP>\envshell<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
. Run AutoConfig on the APPL_TOP
. Execute admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip
perl <AD_TOP>/bin/admkappsutil.pl
This will create appsutil.zip in <INST_TOP>/admin/out
Note:
For exact details on how to run Autoconfig and how to create appsutil.zip,
please refer to Metalink Note 387859.1.
2. On the Database Tier (as the ORACLE user):
. Source the environment variables for RDBMS ORACLE_HOME
UNIX:
cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
. ./<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/<CONTEXT_NAME>.env
Windows:
<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>\<CONTEXT_NAME>.cmd
. Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
. Uncompress appsutil.zip under the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
cd <ORACLE_HOME>
unzip -o appsutil.zip
. Run AutoConfig on the <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>
Note:
For exact details on how to run Autoconfig on the dbTier and how transfer
the AutoConfig updates from the APPL_TOP to the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME please
refer to Metalink Note 387859.1, Section 2, Step 3 (Patching AutoConfig).
3. Re-run adpreclone.pl on the dbTier and appsTier
Warning:
Since new updates included on this patch have been applied to the system,
Adpreclone must be executed again in order to apply them into the clone
directory structures used during cloning.
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

Mac Pro 8 core with boot drive cloned from MacBook Pro

I bought a Mac Pro 8 core and in order to avoid having to reinstall all my stuff, I cloned my OSx (tiger 10.49) partition from my MacBook Pro running vista (installed via bootcamp) to my new MacPro's startup disk. The disk works fine except that the MacPro will not boot to osx unless I use the option key and choose the OSX partition. If i just turn the machine on it doesen't find anything. I think it is looking for windows. What do you think?????
Also, if i restart from the os x partition on my mac pro it stops just before the lound bong sound and seems to be looking for the dvd drive. Any ideas??

Well, I've covered this extensively here:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
Intel In Macs
Apple Guide to Universal Applications
MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
Not knowing what you did when you migrated from your PB to the MBP, I can't really comment, but it's quite possible it didn't go as well as you think. Numerous users who migrated from PPC Macs to Intel Macs ended up with an Intel Mac that didn't work properly because Intel coded components had been replaced by PPC coded components.

Steps to do the R12 on 11.2.0.2 RAC to Non-Rac cloning on Win2008 64bit

Please brief the steps to do the R12 on 11.2.0.2 RAC to Non-Rac cloning on Windows 2008 64-bit.
There is a metalink document but that says it for linux environment but not windows. Please brief the steps if someone has done it on windows.

The steps should be the same for Windows (with minor changes, like you may need to create Oracle service before duplicating the database).

Cloning ebs r12 on 11gR2 database

Hi all,
our ebs r12 12.1.3 and db 11..2.0.2 OS:oul5x64
from ebs r12 12.1.3 and db 11.1.0.7 i do not have any problems with cloning, but when upgrade database to 11.2.0.2 . the template file was different and the clone failed because it could not fine the controlfile.
in this note:Troubleshooting RAC RapidClone issues with Oracle Applications R12 [ID 1303962.1]
UNDER

sql "alter system switch logfile";
backup as copy datafile 1 format '/u05/DB/data/stage/%U_system.328.769213623';

so when doing the clone, it always thrown an error could not fine the controlfile...and it did not backup archive log files so even rename the controlfile to "backup_controlfile.ctl" it could not open because missing archive files.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Thanks Hussein,
it failed at stage # 3
because the template on image copy did not have any of archive backup. so the copy only contains the database files that was why it always failed at this stage.
Thanks very much for your help.

Cloning Suport on Oracle 10.1.2

I'm trying to clone an Oracle iAS 10.1.2.
My Oracle iAS enviroment don't have any clone dir. So, I downloaded the patch for linux Platform to add the cloning support files in the enviroment.
When I try to apply the patch I get this error:
MISSING_COMPONENT : oracle.sysman.common, 10.1.0.2.0 (found a component with higher version)
So I have two questions on cloning:
This p3734924_10102_GENERIC.zip is the correct patch to include clone support on Oracle iAS 10.1.2 ?
How can I add the cloning support files on my Oracle iAS 10.1.2 ?
Thanx !

I'm having the same problem. It doesn't matter whether the report has an image or not. It crashes intermittently....!
O/S : Windows 2003
Application Server : 10.1.2.0.2
Database: 10g Rel.2
I don't think its load issue.....! Once in a while randomly reports server will time out and crashes:
Ex:Terminated with error: REP-56109: Job 2738 is terminated due to connection timeout
If I don't set the TimeOut Parameter it will hang the server......!
I think its a bug in ORacle Reports...! We started to have this problem since 10g Rel 1 and carried to Release 2.
I never had this problem before 10g. I tried making all kinds of changes but no luck......!
Thanks

I need to go back one version to CC 2014 - the one before the October release

... and it looks like Adobe took it off the Previous Versions in the Cloud installer. I've done months worth of work in CC 2014 on ongoing projects, and I can't go back to the CC version using the Cloud installer.
Adobe, please put the previous installer back on the Cloud PRONTO.
I was able to retrograde the day that the new release came out (After discovering that it wouldn't work with my RED footage), but now it's gone! All that's available is 6.0 and 7.0.
I'm not totally dead, because like an experienced person, I cloned my drive before upgrading. But, it's going to require more hoop jumping and take longer than is really necessary, if only Adobe would make ALL versions accessible to us.

Hi Jim,
I see 8.0 in the list of previous versions. You don't?
Let us know if you need help.
Thanks,
Kevin
