Hello Erman,

I have a customer who has an ODA X5-2, virtualized with Oracle e-Business Suite R12 running in a VM, database is 12.1 with RAC.

They have been struggling to clone the production database to another RAC database with another VM hosting the e-Business Suite app.
 
My question is simple : have you, in your experience, seen such a cloning procedure work? RAC to RAC with e business suite is documented and it works, but the problem comes from the "oakcli ecosystem" and the total lack of communication/awareness of oakcli and adpreclone. They've been trying for quite some months now and are getting nowhere with a RAC to RAC e business suite clone on ODA.

My idea would be to :

1- create new Oracle Home with oakcli (to avoid having an Oracle created by ebusiness floating around the ODA)
2- create new RAC database with oakcli and stop it
3- start ebusiness suite cloning procedure

That way, the new dbhome and database are alreay recognised by oakcli


Thanks, Matthieu
