R12.2 Cloning Steps

EBS R12.2 Cloning Steps.

My Database version 11.2.0.3

    A. Preclone db tier and application Tier

    B. Copy the apps Tier  and db home only to target server

    C. Take Rman full backup and copy the backup to target server

           cd [RDBMS ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/clone/bin
        

    $ perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack

                        Run adcfgclone dbTechStack

This files are to be restored to a different location:

db_file_name_convert=('/oracle/PROD/db/data' , '/oracle/CLONE/db/data')

log_file_name_convert=('/oracle/PROD/db/data' , '/oracle/CLONE/db/data')

$ sqlplus '/as sysdba'

SQL> startup nomount pfile='/<path>/initCLONE.ora';

This will nomount  the instance using the initCLONE.ora created.

Prepare for duplicate by starting the auxiliary instance

Create New Folder

#mkdir /d01/rman

Create a rman script

run

{

allocate auxiliary channel t1 type disk;

allocate auxiliary channel t2 type disk;

allocate auxiliary channel t3 type disk;

allocate auxiliary channel t4 type disk;

duplicate database to "CLONE" BACKUP LOCATION '/oracle/CLONE/RMAN/5AUG18';

release channel t1;

release channel t2;

release channel t3;

release channel t4;

}

Connect and run the duplicate

# cd /oracle/CLONE/RMAN

# rman auxiliary / cmdfile=RMAN.sql log=rmanlog7AUG21.log

Restoration is completed after check the database status  

Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 with Rapid Clone

Cloning is the process of creating a copy of an existing Oracle E-Business Suite system. The cloning methodology described in this document covers the process used to clone an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 system.

The cloning process consists of the following three phases, each of which is made up of several logical sections and their steps.

1. Prepare the Source System for application tier. 
2. Copy both application tier nodes from the Source System to Target System. 
3. Configure the Target System for and application tier.

Configure the Target System application tier server nodes 

Log on to the Run Edition File System in the Target System as the applmgr user and enter the following commands:

$ cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin

$ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier 

Application Cloning is completed. Check opmn status and open the front end.

FS2 patch Edition File System is cloning enter the following commands:

$ cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin

$ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier 

Post Cloning Steps:

1. Change system password

2. Change apps password

3. Change alloracle password

4. Change sysadmin password

5. Change Site name profile

6. Change Form Color profile

7. Run cmclean.sql scripts

8. Clear the schedule concurrent program

When we run Perl adpreclone.pl dbTier why it requires apps password?

It is requires a database connection to validate apps schema

What is Perl adpreclone.pl do on appsTier?

It’s create the Clone directory in application side

cd $COMMON_TOP/clone

It will collect all the information about the source system, creates a cloning stage area, and generates templates and drivers. All of these are to reconfigure the instance on a Target machine.

What is Perl adpreclone.pl do on databaseTier?

It’s create the clone directory

$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/directory

Obtains Database Information

Creates adcrdbclone.sql

What is adcfgclone.pl do on applicationTier?

Its create a context file and register the oracle_home,relink the oracle_home the create the INST_TOP and cofigure the appl_top

What is adcfgclone.pl do on DatabasseTier?

Its create the context file and register oracle_home,relink the oracle_home then recreate the controlfile and start the listener

What do adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack?

Its create the context file,register and configure oracle_home then start the listener
