Error When Duplicating Consolidation Applications as Deployed Applications

Question

Hi All:
When I duplicate a consolidation application as a deployed one, the following error happen:
PLEASE HELP!
10-13-2011 10:16:54 : Error : Failed to create destination database connection while validating tablespaces.
10-13-2011 10:16:54 : Error : ValidateDB2TablespaceSelections : Exception : Failed to validate destination tablespaces! (-2147467259)(ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified)
10-13-2011 10:16:54 : Warning : One or more errors occurred while trying to validate the destination tablespaces. Errors may occur during copy procedure.
But When I duplicate a consolidation application as a new one, successed.
Then deploy the application,also successed.

After digging in the tech reference I found a solution of copying a creating an ASO DB as another ASO DB using MaxL. More than that, you can even convert a BSO to ASO using the same method. here is the MaxL script:
login $1 $2;
spool on to 'maxl_log.txt';
create or replace application Sample2 using aggregate_storage
comment 'aggregate storage version of Sample';
create database Sample2.Basic2
comment 'aggregate storage version of Sample Basic';
create or replace outline on aggregate_storage database Sample2.Basic2
as outline on database sample.basic;
alter database Sample2.Basic2 initialize load buffer with buffer_id 1;
import database Sample2.Basic2 data
from server data_file 'c:\\hyperion\\essbase\\app\\Sample2\\Basic2\\calcdat.txt'
to load_buffer with buffer_id 1
on error abort;
import database Sample2.Basic2 data from load_buffer with buffer_id 1;
execute aggregate process on database Sample2.Basic2
stopping when total_size exceeds 1.9;
spool off;
logout;
