Multi-Node to Single-Node Cloning in R12 and 11i
Posted by Vasu Balla on Aug 21, 2008
Anybody who has tried this multi-node to single-node cloning in 11i knows that it’s difficult and very error-prone. If we outline the Apps Tier cloning process, it looks like this (supposing we have a two-node instance with the DB and CM on one node, and Web and Forms on the other):
# CM Node # copy all files to the target $ perl adpreclone.pl appsTier merge # Web Node # copy $COMMON_TOP/clone/appl directory only to the target $ perl adpreclone.pl appltop merge # Target Node $ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier
This process is called merging appltops. It’s not as easy as it looks. Many times, the production environment might not have proper values in the fnd_nodes table, which makes adcfgclone.pl fail to properly recognize the appltops for merging.
But in R12, life is made easy. Read the rest of this entry . . .
