EBS 12.2 -- Cloning Step by Step -- Real-Life example

In this article , I will explain the cloning process in 12.2 by taking a real clone from an EBS 12.2.3 with split configuration to a single server environment. Also our source and target databases will be on ASM. Actually, as long as we have one server for db tier and one for  the application tier on the Source environment, the cloning process is the same as single to single cloning.
Also, ASM is involved in this example, but it doesnt bring us any difficulties as we use rman to duplicate our database tier on the clone environment.. We convert file paths , create the controlfile and make our database up&running automatically..
Note that: We dont deal with OS packages and Grid Home installations in this real life example, because we suppose those installations are already done by System Admins & Core Dba's.

For those who follow my blog will already my recent article about Cloning in 12.2
That is, in my earlier posts, I already explained the cloning process in 12.2 ..
You can reach the related article using the following url.. http://ermanarslan.blogspot.com.tr/2014/07/ebs-122-cloning-how-to-clone-ebs-122.html
It will help you understand the logic for different cloning scenarios .
At the same time, what you will find in this article will be more useful , as this article is based on an hands-on experience.

Okay,  in this real life example, we will clone our EBS Production environment to a environment called pre-prod.  In this example, you will see all the commands, command outputs and needed error corrections during a cloning process.

We have following phases in this cloning process:

• Running Pre-Clone on the Source Apps Tier
• Running Pre-Clone on the Source DB Tier
• Copying Application Tier from Source to Target
• Copying RDBMS Oracle Home from the Source To Target
• Backing up to database online (with rman) 
• Copying source database backup from Source to Target
• Configuring the ownership of the directories on the Target Servers
• Configuring Oracle RDBMS on the Target Server
• Duplicating/ Opening the cloned database on the Target Database Server
• Running Post Clone in the Target Database Server
• Running Post Clone in the Target Application Tier
• Running Pre-Clone on the Target Apps Tier
• Copying EBSpps directory from Run edition to patch edition (in this case fs2 to fs1) in the Target Application server
• Running postclone on the Patch Edition of the Target Application server & fixing the errors
• Starting our clone environment

Copying Application Tier from Source to Target:

connect to target application server with root user and copy the run edition filesystem from source to target.

TARGET> scp -r root@source:/u01/fs2 /u02

Copying RDBMS Oracle Home from the Source To Target:

connect to target db server with root user and copy databsae oracle home from source to target.

TARGET> scp -r root@source:/u01/oracle/product  /u02/oracle/

Backing up to database online (with rman) :

Connect to source database using rman, and backup your database plus archive log in to the directory you want..

rman target /

backup device type disk format '/yedek/Bck_For_Clone/%d_full_%s_%p.bck' database plus archivelog;

piece handle=/yedek/Bck_For_Clone/DBERP_full_10_1.bck tag=TAG20140702T110301 comment=NONE

channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01

Finished backup at 02-JUL-14

Copying source database backup from Source to Target:

connect to target db server with root user and copy database backup that we created in the previous steps,  from source to target.

 TARGET> scp -r root@soruce:/yedek/Bck_For_Clone /u01/backup_sil

Configuring the ownership of the directories on the Target Servers:

TARGET>
chown -R applmgr:dba /u01/fs2
chown -R oracle:dba /u01/oracle/
chown -R oracle:dba /u01/backup_sil/

Ensure oratab is writable by oracle (just in case)

ls -al /etc/oratab, and oraInst.loc is readable

Ex:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle oinstall 779 Jul  1 14:31 /etc/oratab

Configuring Oracle RDBMS on the Target Server:

TARGET>

If your source database filesystem / paths are the same with your source filesystem, just ;

su - oracle

 cd /u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db
 echo ". `pwd`/dberp_erpproddb.env " >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile

exit

su - oracle

cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin

./relink all

Check the relink.log for the errors. Ensure there are no errors encountered during relink.

/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/install/relink.log

If your source database filesystem / paths are the different than your source filesystem, 

set your db environment and run relink all after that.

su - oracle

 export ORACLE_SID=PREPROD

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

cd $ORACLE_HOME

export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db

./relink all

Check the relink.log for the errors. Ensure there are no errors encountered during relink.

/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/install/relink.log

Duplicating/ Opening the cloned database on the Target Database Server:

Connect to target , modify your pfile according to your needs, create an spfile and startup nomount your database with the new name on the target server.

Also set your db_file_name_convert, log_file_name_convert parameters before duplicating the db.

db_file_name_convert=(+DATA,+DATAERMAN)

log_file_name_convert=(+DATA,+DATAERMAN)

SQL>startup nomount;

Connect to the auxilary and duplicate the database with the name by specifying the backup location which resides on your target server.

TARGET>

rman auxiliary /

RMAN>duplicate target database to "PREPROD" BACKUP LOCATION '/u01/backup_sil/Bck_For_Clone';

Note that: In oracle 11g, the duplication from the Target Database to the Auxiliary Database can be done using RMAN without connecting to the Target database or to a Catalog Database. If you have your full backup and if it accessible from the target server, then connect to auxiliary only and duplicate your database.

Running Post Clone in the Target Application Tier :

Before executing adcfgclone on AppsTier. Copy the application inventory directory from source to target, and make the necessary modifications in the /etc/oratab file to point to the oraInventory location residing on target server. Also configure the permission -> prevent null pointer exceptions during precheck phase of the post clone.

Note that: You must only have appl_top,common_top and 10.1.2 oracle_home in the target server. If you have copied FMW home ,too; then you will get FMW HOME found error in the beginning of post clone..

Okay, after the post clone we have fs_ne directory in place, our environment selector file (EBSapps.env) is also created.

so we source the environment file . /u01/EBSapps.env and start our preclone process on the run edition filesystem of the target application server..

Okay we completed the cloning but it seems that we have encountered a problem while running autoconfig..

Lets find that problem...

To find the cause of the error , we open the logfile of post clone, and search for autconfig related errors there..

Okay, Now it is listening for PREPROD_patch..

So , lets execute our post clone process again.. (because it says: Re-Run the entire cloning cycle , after fixing the problem)

First clean what we have done before and recreate the fs1 directory

rm -fR fs1/

ls

backup_sil  EBSapps.env  fs2  fs_ne  lost+found  oracle

mkdir fs1

cp -RH fs2/EBSapps/ fs1/

Then, re-execute  adcfgclone.pl appsTier from the patch edition filesystem.

The CLONE record status is no rows selected

Updating incomplete CLONE record to COMPLETED

Yes! This time ,it runs successful...

Now we are ready to start our cloned evironment..

Starting our clone environment:

Lastly we source our run environment and start our application services on the cloned environment.
. /u01/EBSApps.env run

cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

sh adstrtal.sh apps/apps

That's it...  Our clone environment is up&running. Optionally, we can do other post clone stuff at this point.. I mean, we can change site name and color of the Forms screens, or we can mask our sensitive data etc..
