Rapid Clone hangs on 50% on Windows 2003

Question

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
Running Service Process 1 of 12 for AD_TOP
Executing script in InstantiateFile:
F:\MASTER\oracle\masterora\iAS\Apache\perl\5.00503\bin\MSWin32-x86\perl.exe -I F:\MASTER\oracle\masterora\iAS\Apache\perl\5.00503\lib\MSWin32-x86 -I F:\MASTER\oracle\masterora\iAS\Apache\perl\5.00503\lib -I F:\MASTER\oracle\masterora\iAS\Apache\perl\site\5.00503\lib\MSWin32-x86 -I F:\MASTER\oracle\masterora\iAS\Apache\perl\site\5.00503\lib -I F:\MASTER\oracle\masterappl\au\11.5.0\perl F:\MASTER\oracle\mastercomn\admin\install\MASTER_lsvgl01\adadmat.pl
script returned:
Validating information in AD_APPL_TOPS table........
ERRORCODE = 0 ERRORCODE_END
.end std out.
.end err out.
AutoConfig Services Phase
Running Service Process 2 of 12 for AD_TOP
Executing script in InstantiateFile:
F:\MASTER\oracle\mastercomn\admin\install\MASTER_lsvgl01\adsvalsn.cmd
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.
