This document discusses advanced cloning options in Oracle Applications including refreshing a cloned target system, cloning single-node and multi-node systems, adding nodes to an existing system, and reducing nodes on a multi-node system. The key steps are preparing the source system, copying it to the target, and configuring the target. Cloning a multi-node system involves performing the clone process on each individual node.

- 6. Refreshing a Target System Copy any parts of the application tier file system that have been updated on the source system The APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP, or technology stack may need to be refreshed on the target system Copy the database node file system if the RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME or database need to be refreshed If refreshing the database, refresh the RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME at the same time
- 7. Refreshing a Target System Configure the target system to be refreshed by specifying the existing target system when running adcfgclone commands: perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier \ <Database tier context file on target> perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier \ <INST_TOP/appl/admin/<Application tier context file on target>
- 8. Refreshing a Target System Where applicable, carry out the finishing tasks described earlier Source Target
- 9. Cloning Multi-Node Systems You can use Rapid Clone in cases where the source or target system has a multi-node application tier With Release 12, only one copy of the files for the application tier nodes needs to be copied to the target system, regardless of shared file system usage Source Target Multi-Node Application Tier (Shared File System)
- 10. Cloning Multi-Node Systems Details of adding shared file system application tier nodes are described in Oracle MetaLink Note 384241.1 If adding non-shared nodes, the copy and configure steps must be performed as on the primary node Source Target Multi-Node Application Tier (Non-Shared File System)
- 11. Adding a New Node to an Existing System You can also use Rapid Clone to set up a new node being added to an existing Applications system The new node can either run the same services as the source node, or different services Prepare the source system, copy it to the new node and configure it as applicable After adcfgclone completes, set up the environment and run the following commands on the target system: cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin perl adaddnode.pl
- 12. Refresh a Cloned Target System Prepare the source system Copy the source system to the target system Configure the target system Perform finishing tasks Source Target
- 13. Prepare the Source System Prepare the source system database tier for cloning Prepare the source system application tier for cloning Source Target
- 14. Copy the Source System to the Target System Copy the application tier file system if the APPL_TOP, OracleAS 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME, or OracleAS 10.1.3 ORACLE_HOME needs to be refreshed Copy the updated portion of the application tier file system Copy the database tier file system if the RDBMS ORACLE_HOME or the database needs to be refreshed If refreshing the database, the ORACLE_HOME should be refreshed at the same time Source Target
- 15. Configure the Target System Specify the existing target system context file when running adcfgclone.pl commands: where database context file is: <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/ <Target CONTEXT_NAME>.xml where application tier target context file is: <INST_TOP>/appl/admin/<Target CONTEXT_NAME>.xml perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier <Database target context file> perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier <Application tier target context file>
- 16. Finishing Tasks Update profile options Rapid Clone updates only site-level profile options If any other profile options are set to instance-specific values, you must update them manually Update printer settings If the new cloned system utilizes different printers, update the target system with the new printer settings Update Workflow and other configuration settings Cloning an instance will not update the host- and instance-specific information used by Oracle Workflow and other components Refer to the following slides to confirm there is no instance-specific data on the target system
- 17. Clone a Single-Node System to a Multi-Node System This procedure allows the original single node system to be cloned into a multi-node system
- 18. Clone a Single Node System to a Multi-Node System Perform the following sections from the Cloning Oracle Applications module to clone a single-node system to multi-node system: Perform prerequisites Clone Oracle Applications Finishing Tasks
- 19. Prerequisite Steps Perform the following prerequisite steps on the source and all target nodes: 1. Verify source and target nodes software versions 2. Apply the latest Rapid Clone patch (if applicable) 3. Set up Rapid Clone on the application tier 4. Set up Rapid Clone on the database tier
- 20. Clone Oracle Applications There are three phases to the cloning process: Prepare the source system Copy the source system to the target system Configure the target system Source Target Prepare Copy Configure
- 21. Finishing Tasks Update profile options Update printer settings Update Workflow and other configuration settings Source System Target System
- 22. Cloning a Multi-Node System to a Multi-Node System A multi-node system can be cloned if the number of nodes and distribution of servers in the target system matches that of the source system To clone a multi-node system to a multi-node system, perform the cloning process on each node For example, if the source system contains three nodes, perform the cloning process three times: Clone source system node 1 to target system node 1 Clone source system node 2 to target system node 2 Clone source system node 3 to target system node 3
- 23. Adding a Node Use Rapid Clone to clone a node and add it to the existing Application System Follow the instructions in the Application Tier part of Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 (Oracle MetaLink Note 406982.1): Prepare the source system, copy it to the new node and configure it After adcfgclone.pl completes, source the Applications environment and run the following commands on the target system: cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin perl adaddnode.pl
- 24. Reducing the Number of Nodes Reduce the number of nodes of a multi-node system by merging the APPL_TOPs Use Rapid Clone to clone a multi-node system to a single-node system (or a multi-node system with fewer nodes) by merging the APPL_TOP file systems
- 25. Module Summary In this module, you should have learned how to do the following: Refresh a cloned target system Clone a single-node system to a multi-node system Clone a multi-node system to a multi-node system Add a node to an existing system Reduce the number of nodes on a multi-node system
- 26. Module Discussion Name some situations that may require refreshing a cloned Oracle Applications system When cloning a single-node system to a multi-node, what are the limitations on the number of nodes?

- #10: Cloning Multi-Node Systems Rapid Clone can be used where the source system or target system is a multi-node system. As of Release 12, all APPL_TOPs are unified APPL_TOPs: that is, all files required for all application tier services are included with every Applications node, with multiple nodes being differentiated by the services started on each. Therefore, only one copy of the Applications node files needs to be copied to the target system, regardless of whether a shared file system is being used on the source or target system. To add shared Applications nodes on the target system, follow the instructions in OracleMetaLink Note 384241.1, Sharing the Application Tier File System in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 . To add non-shared Applications nodes, carry out the copy and configure steps in the same way as on the primary node. You can specify the services to start for each target Applications node while answering the prompts during the configuration step. Instructor Note: Support for use of Rapid Clone with Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) is planned for a future release of Oracle Applications.
