Is it possible to run Rapid clone in a silent/automatic mode?

Question

Hi List,
Just wonder if somebody from you fully automated Apps env. cloning procedure?
We have managed to automate DB part of cloning and most of post clone tasks.
But one step we still doing manually:
perl $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/adcfgclone.pl appsTier
and answering to all question this tool asking.
We would like fully automate the cloning procedure to eliminate humane errors.
Any experience/suggestions on that?
Thank you in advance,
Yury

Hi Ed,
Tak a look on the following doc in Metalink:
Note:230672.1 Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone June 2006
-- Section 4: Advanced Cloning Options
---- Refreshing a target system
Oracle Describes how you can refresh an Apps environment without promting all those questions.
In case it doesn't help you can use the following command to clone an environment in silent mode:
perl $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/adclone.pl java=$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../jre mode=apply stage=$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/.. component=appsTier method=CUSTOM appctxtg=$APPL_TOP/admin/<envname>_<hostname>.xml showProgress contextValidated=true pwd=apps
In order to generate a Context file you can use ether adclonectx.pl or the following:
-- To generate Contex file you can use the following command
$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../jre/bin/java -classpath $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../jlib/java:$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../jlib/xmlparserv2.zip:$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../jlib/classes12.zip:$COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../jre/lib/rt.jar oracle.apps.ad.context.CloneContext -e $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../context/apps/CTXORIG.xml -validate -pairsfile /tmp/adpairsfile.lst -stage $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin/../ -passwd <apps_password> -perl "$IAS_ORACLE_HOME/iAS/Apache/perl/bin/perl" -perl5lib /app/uat/uatora/iAS/Apache/perl/lib/5.00503:/app/uat/uatora/iAS/Apache/perl/lib/site_perl/5.005:/app/uat/uatappl/au/11.5.0/perl
