Question on cloning

[Sri]

Hi erman,


ThankConfigure the application tier.
perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier

You will be prompted the standard cloning questions consisting of the system base directories, which services you want enabled, port pool, etc. Make sure you choose the same port pool as you did when configuring the database tier

Why do we use same port pool
 
Thank you

It means you need to use the same port pool that you used to configure the database tier (clone db tier)

Ex :

You first clone the db, and you give the port pool 0 as the db port pool.
This will make db to listen from 1521.

Then, you go to apps tier and run adcfgclone there.
so, when the adcfgclone asks you the port pool, you need to give the port pool 0, as you used it while configuring the db tier.

That 's it..

Thank you for update.

Why we have to give the same port pool in application?

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

We have 1 port pool in EBS. (app + db)
There is no seperate port pools in EBS.
During rapidwiz installation, you specify port pools.
However; you can edit the ports of these port pools in Rapidwiz installation screens.. (if you want to)
For ex: you can specify port pool 0 but edit the database port to be 1522. (in rapidwiz)

On the other hand, you are asking about rapidclone.
There is no such option there. rapidclone asks you questions and you answer them..
It asks you the port pool, and you give port pool . (there is no place to edit a port in there)
There is no place to edit. (ofcourse you can edit by doing some manual things, but these are not documented).

If you need something like this in clone, you should go with the following plan:

Configure your database port to be 1521
Use port pool 0 with the adcfgclone in Apps tier.
After the cloning, edit the database port (properly by considering EBS standards) and set it to 1522.
Reconfigure your apps tier, to connect to this database port. (using autoconfig -- you need to test this..)

"Anyways, the reason why is -> it is a standard"

"Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 has many technology stack components integrated with eachother.  These components communicate with each other via a large number of ports.
you should prevent the port conflicts between these components and it can be a major deployment and management task, if you configure them one by one.
That 's why in EBS , we use port pool .. They simplify the administration."
