question on cloning

[Sri]

Hi Erman,

We have completed our clone and instance is accessible.In our test instance,we could not see the file /u02/INST/fs1/inst/apps/TEST_ROOK/appl/admin/customTEST_ROOK.env

we are aware that adcfgclone will create INST_TOP but we need to understand why it could not create the above file.we need your valuable advices

Thank you

Did you create the custom env file in $INST_TOP/appl/admin directory of both RUN and PATCH file systems? After that, did you set your s_custom_file variable to this file?

Hi Erman,

Thank you for your updates

In PROD,we  have created the custom env file in $INST_TOP/appl/admin directory of both RUN and PATCH file systems and also set our s_custom_file variable to this file in xml file.

should we take backup of this file on test before clone and replace it after clone ?
or
will adcfgclone.pl create this file(as it creates INST_TOP)

Thanks again

Probably, adcfgclone.pl doesn't create it..
But I m also curious now :)

you can check it by running adpreclone.pl on appstier and then use find command to search for your custom env file in EBSApps directory.. If it is there, we can conclude that, adcfgclone.pl was designed to create it in clone environment.. (I expect it to be there, because we copy EBSApps during cloning)

So if it is not there, then I will think that "adcfgclone.pl was not designed to create it" and then I ll recommend you to "backup of this file on test before clone and replace it after clone.."

Also, answer the following questions;

1)Do you target/clone context file have this s_custom_file set?
2)Is your custom env file named according to the EBS standards?
3)Is this custom env gets deleted when you run autoconfig on source/prod?

thank you erman.

1)Do you target/clone context file have this s_custom_file set? -yes
2)Is your custom env file named according to the EBS standards? -yes
3)Is this custom env gets deleted when you run autoconfig on source/prod? -no

we have INST in seperate mount point.we copy EBSapps folder from fs1(which is in different mount point).in this case we dont see the file under EBSapps as this file is under INST which is in other mount point

Thank you

Did you run preclone and then check using "find" command?

Anyways,

I don't think adcfgclone.pl is taking these custom environment files into account.
I checked the clone directory and didn't see the word "s_custom_file" used there. (in scripts or classes)
According to my analysis, s_custom_file is there in context files stored in clone directory, but the cloning process does not make use of it..

Thanks erman,

Why dont we copy the inst top to get all these files like custom env,what will be the issue if we do so

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

you don't copy inst top because it is instructed by the cloning documents..
don't copy it.. your cloning may fail with file exists errors.

[Sri]

In R12.1.3,we used to copy inst as well along with appl top to avoid reapplying the customizations and we didnt face any issues.We didnt try this in R12.2

Thank you

Hi erman,

Right. We need to create customEnv.env in our environment manually after each clone. adcfgclone do not create it. Instead what we did, we just kept a copy of this file outside of EBS directory and once clone completes just copy it to $INST_TOP quickly.

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

Good.
I will update you if I find something more on this subject.

Thank you very much for your support all the time
