DB Clone issue

Dear All,
I request you please help me in this scenario (While cloning the datebase)
1) I took the backup of my PROD database at 12:00PM using RMAN
2) Added a new datafile to one of the tablespace at 12:30PM
3) At 2:00PM we started the cloning of the PROD database using the latest backup which I took it at 12:00PM
My query is how do I add the new datafile to the clone database to proceed with the recovery process. Because it was not there in the backup.
Please explain in detail. I am using Oracle 10.2.0.4 software
Thanks,
Prasanna

The Recovery will halt when it comes to the Redo Log entries relating to that new datafile.
This is because the Data Dictionary (System Tablespace) has entries for the datafile but the controlfile does not.
You will then run
ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'path' AS 'path';
The ALTER DATABASE command will add the entry in the controlfile corresponding to that in the data dictionary and will also read the size from the data dictionary and create the file as of that size.
Then you can continue with the RECOVER DATABASE commands.

R12.1.3 - clone issues now after DB upgrade to 11gr2

R12.1.3 on RH Linux x86_64.
Upgraded the dB from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3 over the weekend and now trying to do rapid clone and having some challenges.
1. adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack
First issue was after refreshing dbTier files and running "perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack".
RC-00110: Fatal: Error occurred while relinking of ApplyDBTechStack
Errors about perl 5.10 vs 5.8 or something
o Ended up being because the $Oracle_Home/appsutil/jre directory didn't exist.
o Which still needs to be sorted out in Prod but for now I just copied it from Test.
o Then "export PATH=/app/oracle/ebsd/db/tech_st/11.2.0/perl/bin/:$PATH" to make it use new perl version.
Edit: This thread seems to be very similar but I still don't see the jre step that I missed that he refers to here.
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2372594
I did re-run "How To Recreate the /appsutil/scripts/ directory [ID 377495.1]" but I see now that just creates the scripts directory and not my missing jre.
I do have it on a Test instance I upgraded some time ago. Can I just copy from there?
2. Then I used rman to refresh my database. This step worked ok.
3. adcfgclone.pl dbTier
Now trying to run this step and first issue is:
RC-20200: Fatal: Could not find Unzip. At this time only Native UnZip 5.X is supported.
Please make sure you have UnZip 5.X in your path and try again...
I see some others pots on this but I can't apply patch yet so just modify PATH to use Linux unzip vs unzip 6 in $Oracle_Home.
Now I get:
RC-00110: Fatal: Error occurred while relinking of ApplyDBTechStack
If I check the log file at the end I see this:
[AutoConfig Error Report]
The following report lists errors AutoConfig encountered during each
phase of its execution. Errors are grouped by directory and phase.
The report format is:
      <filename> <phase> <return code where appropriate>
[INSTANTIATE PHASE]
AutoConfig could not successfully instantiate the following files:
    Directory: /app/oracle/ebsd/db/tech_st/11.2.0/appsutil/install/EBSD_db6t
      adcrdb.sh               INSTE8
AutoConfig is exiting with status 1
RC-50014: Fatal: Execution of AutoConfig was failed
Raised by oracle.apps.ad.clone.ApplyDBTechStack
One thing I do notice is when providing my responses it is suggesting my Dev Oracle_Home with the old 11.1.0 path instead of the path for my Prod server and the 11.2.0 directory.
Also the display is already set to my Test server while it should be making me change it from Prod.
Is that clear? Something is not right here... (obviously)

Well that wasn't the silver bullet I was hoping for.
Still getting "RC-00110: Fatal: Error occurred while relinking of ApplyDBTechStack".
If I look in my ApplyDBTier_06192204.log file I see.
Using make file "ins_emagent.mk" for linking SYSMAN utilities...
Error while running adlnkoh.sh.
return code = .58
and then "Warning: Unable to connect to Database" but the db is down now anyway so why the error?
and eventually:

E Business Suite Clone Issue

Dear All,
In windows 2003 server we got E-Business Suite on Oracle Rac, Now i'm trying to clone Application & Database for Development use.. in prerequisite steps i need to run Adpreclone, first with the DB Tier i completed successfully, when comes to Application Tier i'm getting this issue:
Perl lib version (v5.6.1) doesn't match executable version (v5.10.0) at D:\oracl
e\PROD\apps\tech_st\10.1.2\perl\5.6.1\lib\MSWin32-x86/Config.pm line 21.
Compilation failed in require at adpreclone.pl line 35.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at adpreclone.pl line 35.
as the issue say's i got 2 version's of perl, But the thing is when i check in path i can only find Perl lib version (v5.6.1).. where the hell this version (v5.10.0) came from...? i even set PERL5LIB Path to version (v5.6.1).. still no use when i run perl adpreclone.pl same error shows...
I think you people can understand what my problem is, if you guys need something else please let me know
With Regards,

Hi,
Can you set the perl for v5.10.0 as:
set PERL5LIB=<ORACLE_HOME>\perl\lib\5.10.0;<ORACLE_HOME>\perl\site_perl\5.10.0;<ORACLE_HOME>\appsutil\perl
Please ensure to correctly define this to you perl v5.10.0 version

Hi,
The Rapidclone utility does not support like for like cloning of an SSL enabled E-business suite middle tier
_Is it Possible to Clone an SSL Enabled E-Business Suite Middle Tier? [ID 1067754.1]_
However Rapidclone will create a clone of an SSL enabled middle tier, but the target will require additional configuration to allow it to function correctly. To progress the issue further you must decide if
A:- You want the middle tier clone to be SSL enabled.
Re-implement SSL on the clone following the note below.
Note 123718.1 11i: A Guide to Understanding and Implementing SSL for Oracle Applications
B:- You want the middle tier clone to be HTTP only.
Remove the SSL configuration added in

End User Guide and Clone issues

Hi,
I am a newbie apps dba and would like to which docs/books to refer to know how the end user's work in EBS like how they place an order,etc.
And also, I have done my clone a day back but the user's complain it is slow. I submitted a CP, it was completed successfully and it looks ok for me.
Thanks.

Hi Psn,
I am a newbie apps dba and would like to which docs/books to refer to know how the end user's work in EBS like how they place an order,etc.
Providing your EBS environment, will help us to provide better assistance on your questions as possible. There are so many Oracle's online documentation in learning Application products.
Please refer the following:
Oracle E-Business Suite Documentation
I have done my clone a day back but the user's complain it is slow.
- Check whether the Database Alert logfile, and application log files shows for any errros.
- After cloning by default the sga target memory turns up to 1GB, ensure it is set accordingly.
- Run an ADDM and see whether you have any database bottlenecks.
Hope this Helps !

R12 rapid clone issue.

Dear All,
I wanted to clarify a question regarding rapid clone since I encountered this in one of our customer site recently.
If preclone was not run before moving the source system to the target host, will the following work-around be sufficient.
1. Run the preclone on the db and Apps Tier
2. Copy RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil to the target DB Tier and replace
3. Copy COMN_TOP/clone to the target Apps Tier and replace
4. Run the postclone scirpts.
You feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Thanks &
Regards,

yes it is sufficient.

Carbon Copy Cloner issue

In preparation to upgrade my 27" iMac running Mt. Lion with FCP 7 to Mavericks, I'm going to run a test of the OS on external drive. First off, I'm going to clone my current OS to the external drive after which I would upgrade to Mavericks. Using Carbon Copy Cloner, I clicked on their Disk Center option to create Recovery Partition on this external drive.
This morning, I read this section under notes "Cloning Apple's Recovery Partition":
"Why were other volumes on my disk unmounted when I created a Recovery HD?:
CCC uses a command-line version of Disk Utility to resize the donor volume. Resizing that volume requires making changes to the partition table on the disk, and Disk Utility may choose to unmount other volumes on the disk while it makes those changes."
Does mean CCC actually changed the size of my internal HD? If so, is this damaging?
Above that, it states:
"When CCC creates a new Recovery HD, it borrows space from your destination volume to create a new, hidden volume on that disk." This is I can understand but I am concerned that my HD has in some way been tampered with unless I am misunderstanding this.
Has anyone else used Carbon Copy Cloner or experienced this? Do I need to be concerned? Everything seems to be running OK. CCC does not have telephone support.
Thanks,
Phil

I've been using CCC with both ML and Mavericks and, if there is no recovery partition on the drive you are cloning to, it needs to create one (unless you'd rather not have one). And it needs to create enough space for the hidden partition to create it. No problem with that. It unmounts partitions and they will come back just as they were - I've not had a problem with that either.
CCC does not have phone support, but they have very good online support - Mike Bombich will reply if you post a question.

About EBS12 rapid clone issue

I always need to clone a test environment from PROD environment.
every time I configure the target system by "perl adcfgclone.pl ...", I always need to enter many value (such as SID, servername, oracle_home ...) by interactive mode, I think it is troublesome. so I want to find a simple way to confige the target system (perl adcfgclone.pl ) without interactive mode. such as identify a template file that save all the instacne value(SID,servername,ORACLE_HOME etc.), how to realise it ? please help, thanks!

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.

Thanks avanishdivya.
I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
Thanks for your quick response.
Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

Hi,
As a workaround, always keep a copy of your configuration files like (XML files, .ora files etc) from the TEST environment before removing all the files for cloning.
Original files can be copied over from backup copies and can be reused after running the autoconfig.
You can take a backup of your existing Oracle services running on windows for TEST environment before removing it for Clone.
To view the oracle services running and their location on windows OS you can view the services by:
go to Run --> services.msc to get to the services page.

The Mac HD has booting issues - how do I make a clone that is free of these?

I spilled water on my MacBook Air (10.6.8) and now it has booting issues.
When I shut it down, the power button doesn't work to boot it. But when I close the lid, it powers up. However even when I shut it down AND close the lid, it keeps booting up and staying on.
So I have to send it for repairs.
I cloned the Mac HD using Carbon Copy Cloner and put the clone using Migration Assistant onto the new machine (MacBook Pro - 10.7.2). Now the MacBook Pro won't boot at all. Before this, it was working fine.
So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
I have to make a clone of the MacBook Air before I send it off for repairs as the last back up is quite old and out of date.
Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
I think the booting problem is a software problem because the MacBook Pro was working perfectly before I migrated the Mac HD of the MBA onto it, The MBP is only two days old. I migrated another Mac HD backup (one I made before the booting issues came up) onto the MBP on the first day I bought it and the MBP worked fine.
Do you think I will just have to clone things separately manually? I mean should I format an external hard drive, plug it in the USB port, and transfer the files I need to save? What files/folders should I save? Can I move folders or do I have to move files? I have many files in Desktop, Downloads, Documents. I also want to save my applications. I want to save the BookMarks of Opera, Firefox.
Will this take a long time? I have used about 200 GB of the MBA's hard drive.
Any advice? Thanks.
I don't use Time Machine and am not confident about using it. Will it be substantially different to CCC in the way it clones files? Will a Time Machine clone after migration contaminate the second computer with booting issues?
I am not so worried about the booting issues on the second computer. I know it's from the faulty clone and nothing to do with the machine itself. I can take it to Apple Genius Bar and they will probably be able to reinstall a new operating system on the machine and I can start from scratch, I think. I am more worried about how to save and restore my data from the old machine. Thanks for any advice.

Ok, you used Migraine Assistant to try to transfer the account from the clone drive to the MBP and it didn't work, that's ok, it can be fixed by command r booting into Lion Recovery and simply erasing and reinstalling Lion from Apple's servers. (AppleID)
I suggest you transfer the account data manually because the clone is a copy of a failing drive/corruption, use the same name in System Preferences >Accounts, drag and drop files transfer and hold option key, click on Purchases in crapStore to redownload to the new machine, install other programs from fresh sources. Cleaner machine that way. So that shoudl fix the MBP.
in the future, try to avoid Apple's "answers" like Migraine Assistant as much as possible, it's really not reliable in any sense in actuality.
So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
You can't boot a clone of OS X from another type Mac on another type Mac, only the same exact machine model.
In your case the Migraine Assistant didn't work, so you'll have to manually install.
Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
Well it's possible that Windows or something messed up the GUID partition map of the Mac, why it has booting issues. Likely why Migraine Assistant didn't work.
You'll have to set up BootCamp again on the new MBP machine, talk to Microsoft about validation on the new machine and return your Windows files, programs from fresh sources.
Likely you got malware and it was trying to write to the boot sector of the Mac, mistaking the MBR portion of the GPT for a full Windows one. This also happens when Mac users try to install Linux on their Mac's.
Unless you need full hardware performance, you really should look at virtualization software like VMFusion, Parallels Desktop or even VirtuaBox (might be outdated) and run Windows in a window on OS X instead. Much easier to recover from malware that way.
It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
Well if you make a clone, it's going to be junk any.
What you need to do is fix the new MBP machine first then use Firewire Target Disk Mode (firewire 800/400 cable and adpater if needed) and grab a copy of your files off the sick Mac or off the sick clone.
The drive is likely fine, it's just not booting and that could mean some sort of malware/drive/data corruption.
You'll have to install third party software on the new fixed MacBook Pro to read the NTFS drive format of the Windows 7 bootcamp parittion when the sick MacAir is in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

Eraser and Clone Stamp issues

Here is are a couple of VERY odd anomalies I have come across.
PS CS4 v. 11.0 on Win XP Pro SP 3 loaded on Dell Optiplex 755...
When using the eraser tool, it will work if the mode is set to "block" but if mode is set to "brush" or "pencil" it will not work.
Also, clone stamp doesn't work at all. I have tried myriad mode settings, brush settings sample settings. After alt/clicking to obtain the sample, I move the tool over the area I wish to "replace" with the cloned selection. Before I click, I can see a small sample of the cloned area where the bush is positioned. However, once I click it goes away and nothing happens! It is recorded as a step in the history panel, but no changes are made to the image.
I must admit that I am stumped. Thanks in advance for anyone's insight.

Susan,
Have you checked for an updated driver from Wacom? Around the release of new versions of PS, they usually have some new ones, that better utilize the features (the REAL ones) in PS.
Also, you should have complete access to your Wacom controls (Control Panel>Wacom) and I'd check to see that nothing has been changed, or reconfigured.
I do not have CS4, but there also might be tablet controls in Preferences?
Last, though you have checked your Brush settings, you might want to look at everything there very closely. I had a similar sounding issue when one aspect of Brush Dynamics was reset. Unfortunately, that was so very long ago, and I do not recall the exact setting that messed things up.
Good luck,
Hunt
