- 17. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | “Smart Cloning is the one-stop solution that we were looking for to standardize and automate our cloning process for all different types of EBS applications supported by us having different cloning requirements(Application only, Single node to multi-node, multi- node to single node, multi-node to multi-node etc). It is very flexible, customizable and repeatable. Now we are able to do multiple clones at the same time with minimal DBA involvement. It eliminates 99% of the manual work done by our DBAs during cloning and allows the team to focus on other critical customer requirements.” – John Felix, Senior Architect- ERP Technologies 17
