Rapid Clone Doc

Hi All,
Could someone please let us know where we could get Rapid Clone Doc..
Regards,

Hi,
You can follow Metalink's Note: 230672.1 "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone", here they told you what kind of patches are needed to apply to configure Rapid Clone.
Also I have uploaded a paper on this to DBA-Village site. It is a little old (11.5.8), but you can know what is the procedure to follow.
HTH.
Kind regards,

Rapid Clone finishing step

Hi Guys,
Hope you had a great weekend.
need a little help here.
part of Rapid of clone finishing steps is
Table Name column name TASK
FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS      WEB_AGENT_NAME      Update to point at the new PLSQL listener name
THIS States to update column WEB_AGENT_NAME of the FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS table to point to the new PLSQL listener name.
Ok which is the PLSQL listener name?
is it the database listener name or is this the APPS listener name?
Please need clarification here and the best way to update.
thanks in Advance

Hi Arnoud, Hussien, and others :)
I am also reading....
Subject: Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone
Doc ID: Note: 406982.1
Since they are mostly related to my EBS migrate from 32bit to 64bit. It seems cloning also since my 32bit (source) is still running in production, paralleling with the tartget (64bit) on separate server.
In item #3 of Section 3: Finishing Tasks (of 406982.1)
It says
3. Update Workflow configuration settings
===============================
Cloning an Oracle Applications instance will not update the host and instance specific information used by Oracle Workflow. Review the following tables and columns to verify there is no instance specific data in the Workflow configuration on the target system.
Table Name      Column Name      Column Value Details
WF_NOTIFICATION_ATTRIBUTES      TEXT_VALUE      Value starts with http://<old web host> : Update to new web host
WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES      TEXT_VALUE      Value starts with "http://<old web host> : Update to new web host
WF_SYSTEMS      GUID      Create a new system defined as the new global database name using the Workflow Administrator Web Applications responsibility.
WF_SYSTEMS      NAME      Value needs to be replaced with the database global name
WF_AGENTS      ADDRESS      Update database link with the new database global name.
FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS      WEB_HOST_NAME      Update with the new web host name
FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS      WEB_AGENT_NAME      Update to point at the new PLSQL listener name
FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS      LOGFILE_NAME      Update with the correct path to the logfile directory
FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS      OUTFILE_NAME      Update with the new directory path on the target system
==============
Do I update these tables using sqlplus? The docs did not explain in detail how to update them. I thought the book warns that sqlplus should not be used in updating EBS data.
The owner of these tables is APPLSYS. What is its default password of APPLSYS?
Thanks a lot

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

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

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

11i Rapid Clone Not Certified With 10g/11g RAC???

Metalink document 230672.1, "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone" was updated Feb. 2009 with the following:
February 04, 2009
- Added 11i/10g/11g RAC clarification on Section 4 Steps 6 and 7.
- Corrected incorrect format statements.
The clarification?
Attention: The following steps apply only for 9i RAC Clusters. Rapid Clone is not certified for Cloning 11i with 10g or 11g RAC Systems at this time.
10g RAC support for EBS has existed for quite a while, what's up with this? I'm in the middle of upgrading my 11i EBS on 9i RAC environments to 10gR2 RAC.
Anyone cloning 11i with 10g/11g RAC? How are you doing it?
Disgusted,
Jerry

Take a look Doc ID: 230672.1 on Metalink Section 6 talks about Cloning a RAC system
If you're trying to search for anything on EBS look for Applications 11i, because most docs refer to it as Applications 11i more often then EBS.

EBS 11i with 10g RAC - rapid clone

Hi,
I have installed Oracle EBS 11i (11.5.10) with Oracle 10g RAC (two node) on Linux server.
I am using ASM for 10g RAC.
Now I want to rapid clone the EBS to devp server having two node RAC.
Will you pls give me detail steps to perform this cloning?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Guru,
I need to decommision R12 application node before clone. Could you please let me know the TOP's i need to delete before that??

You need to delete all the files/directories of the instance that need to be refreshed -- Refer to these docs for details.

Rapid clone need redo logs

Hi,
Does Rapid clone need redo log files during cloning on target host on DB tier IN 11.5.10.2?
Thanks

Hi;
Per Note: 230672.1
"Copy the Database Tier File System
Log on to the Source System Database Node as the ORACLE user.
Perform a normal shutdown of the Source System Database
Copy the Database (DBF) files from the Source to the Target System
Copy the Source Database ORACLE_HOME to the Target System
Start up the Source Applications System Database and Application Tier processes"
Step "Copy the Database (DBF) files from the Source to the Target System" I think database files means data files and redo logs both in this scope.Basicly copy all dbtier from your target

RAC to NON-RAC Cloning in R 12 using Rapid Clone

Hi,
We are using EBS 12.0.4 with DB version Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0.
Initilally the RAC to non RAC cloning were not supported using rapid clone for this.But from Oct 19 Oracle has certified the same.
Can anybody specify me the document which contain the step by step process for RAC to NON-RAC Cloning using Rapid Clone.I cant find this.

Rapid Clone hangs on 50% on Windows 2003

Hi,
I am running Rapid Clone for the first time on a fresh install of 11.5.10.2 on Windows 2003.
I have applied all preprequisites and patches to the source environment, as per Metalink note 230672.1.
I have successfully prepared the source system, copied the souce system to the target system and configured the target system database server.
However when I attempt to configure the target system application tier, I get a small error message saying 'Installation failed'. The cloning process continues to run but hangs at 50%.
The command I am executing is:
cd <COMMON_TOP>\clone\bin
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
The last entries in the log file are:
AutoConfig Services Phase

I have noted from Metalink Note 218089.1, FAQ 55 that there is a known issue with adsvalsn.cmd and AutoConfig. I have applied the solution:
copy %AD_TOP%\bin\adstart.exe %COMMON_TOP%\util\SrvStart.exe
and re-run adcfgclone.pl.
This gets rid of the error message but the process still hangs at 50%.
Any assistance is gratefully received.
Thanks,
Mark

Many thanks for your replies, I have now successfully completed rapid clone.
I checked the log files and there were no errors. The information I posted above was the final entry in the log file.
Unfortunately I am having to perform this clone through remote desktop which is not ideal but unavoidable.
For those of you attempting to rapid clone 11.5.10.2 on Windows, I found the key areas to be:
(1) Before running adcfgclone.pl on the Apps tier:
Add the target <806 ORACLE HOME>\bin to the system path.
If, like me, you're unable to restart the server to globally export this variable (there's another running environment on the machine), you can set this dynamically in the command window by issuing the following command:
set PATH=<806 ORACLE HOME>\bin;%PATH%
To check if it's correctly set:
echo %PATH%
(2) Before running adcfgclone.pl on the Apps tier:
copy %AD_TOP%\bin\adstart.exe %COMMON_TOP%\util\SrvStart.exe
This overcomes a known issue with adsvalsn.cmd and AutoConfig (Metalink Note 218089.1, FAQ 55):
(3) Whilst adcfgclone.pl runs on the Apps tier:
At 50% the process appears to have trouble starting the Discoverer service. Give it a helping hand by starting it manually in the Services console.
Now to see if everything works OK!
Thanks again for your thoughts.

Cloning Non EBS Database with Rapid Clone.

Hi DBAs,
It might sound weird but I was curious that - Can you clone the regular oracle database (Non EBS) using rapid clone. Lets suppose if I copy over appsutil directory from a EBS database and manually edit the context file with current instance information. Also if I need to do some changes in shell/perl scripts of rapid clone etc.
Have any one done it in past by doing some magic and tricks or Is there automated script based cloning available for regular databases?
Thanks
-Naveed-

Hi Naveed,
I believe it is not possible as Rapid Clone is an Oracle Apps utility, so Oracle does not support cloning non-Apps databases using Rapid Clone.
In addition, there is no context file or AutoConfig in such a database, which is required for Rapid Clone to work properly.
Is there automated script based cloning available for regular databases? For this cloning, you can use the manual method, export/import, or RMAN.

Rapid clone 11.5.10 from single node to Veritas cluster environment

Is anybody there who had done the same and working? Please shed some light.
version 11.5.10
Source
DB tier : DB, CM and Admin ( OS : Solaris 10 ), single node
App tier : FrmSrv, iAS ( OS : Solaris 10), single node
Target
DB tier : DB, CM, and Admin ( OS : Solaris 10), 2-nodes Veritas Cluster
(active/passive)
App tier : FrmSrv, iAS (OS : Solaris 10), 2-nodes load balancer
I've many time single node to single node rapid clone , no problem.
But with this single node to multi-nodes, no luck.
your input is much appreciated

Hi
You can use the Advanced cloning (section 4) of the cloining document# 230672.1
to clone signle node to multi node systems.
for webserver load balancing follow the metalink note#:217368.1

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.
