Oracle Applications (EBS) R12.2 Cloning process

R12.2 follows somewhat new process of Cloning on Application Tier. Although most of the clone steps are same as were in 11i/R12.1 but some of the steps are new. For example, you need to copy application file system two times, one from source application RUN file system to target RUN file system and then again from target RUN file system to target PATCH file system. Below we will cover both database and application tier clone although database cloning process is same as was in 11i/R12.1.

This document is divided into below sub-parts:

ENVIRONMENT

EBS version : R12.2.3

SOURCE SYSTEM:

Two node system ( 1 database node, 1 application node)

Source Database node: dbhost.corp.com
Source Database node OS user: oradba
Source Application node: apphost.corp.com
Source Application node OS user: appdba
Source Database ORACLE_SID: dba
Source Database ORACLE_HOME: /u01/oracle/findba/11.2.0
Source Application $RUN_BASE : /u01/oracle/findba/fs2
Source Application $PATCH_BASE : /u01/oracle/findba/fs1
Port Pool : 6 (RUN file system), 7 (PATCH file system)

TARGET SYSTEM:

Two node system ( 1 database node, 1 application node)

Target Database node: dbclonehost.corp.com
Target Database node OS user: oraclone
Target Application node: appclonehost.corp.com
Target Application node OS user: appclone
Target Database ORACLE_SID: clonedb
Target Database ORACLE_HOME: /d01/oracle/finclonedb/11.2.0
Target Application $RUN_BASE : /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs2
Target Application $PATCH_BASE : /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1
Port Pool : 9 (RUN file system), 8 (PATCH file system)

Assumption:

· Both source and target EBS R12.2 system have 1 database node and 1 application node
· RMAN is used for taking source backup and to create target database. You can also use some other snapshot/mirroring advance technology for database backup.
· Oracle database software is already intalled on the Target database node.
· Source database is running in archive log enabled mode.

PART 1 : PREREQUISITE TASKS

1.1 Check for in-progress online patching cycle

On the Source system, there should not be any in-progress online patching cycle. Online patching should be done till cleanup stage and also fs_clone should be run to synchronize with the application file system RUN and PATCH.

You can check it easily by below command:

SQL> select ADOP_SESSION_ID,PREPARE_STATUS,APPLY_STATUS,FINALIZE_STATUS,CUTOVER_STATUS,CLEANUP_STATUS,ABORT_STATUS,STATUS,ABANDON_FLAG,NODE_NAME from AD_ADOP_SESSIONS order by ADOP_SESSION_ID;
ADOP_SESSION_ID P A F C C A S ABANDON_FLAG NODE_NAME
 --------------- - - - - - - - ------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------
 2 X Y N X Y X C apphost
 3 R N R N Y Y C apphost
 5 Y P N N Y Y C apphost
 6 Y P N N Y Y C apphost
 7 Y P N N Y Y C apphost
 8 X Y N X Y X C apphost
 10 Y P N N Y Y C apphost
 11 Y Y Y Y Y X C apphost

8 rows selected.

As can be seen above last online patching session (11) was done successfully till cleanup stage (marked as Y).

1.2 Check Disk Space on the Source system and Target

On the source system, as per Oracle recommendation require 6GB in /tmp and 6GB under $COMMON_TOP. adpreclone will create backup of important source instance file under $COMMON_TOP and it require minimum 6 GB space there.

On the target system file system space should match as that of source.

1.3 OS and Patch Level

Source and Target must be on the same Operating System (OS) and patch level

1.4 AD/TXK Patches

Apply the latest AD/TXK patches to the Source system.

You can check the lastet version by below SQL statement.

SQL> SELECT abbreviation,codelevel FROM AD_TRACKABLE_ENTITIES WHERE abbreviation in (‘txk’,’ad’);

ABBREVIA CODELEVEL
——– ———-
ad C.4
txk C.4

1.5 Maintain snapshot information

Log in to each Source Application Tier node as the APPLMGR user, and run “Update current view snapshot” in AD Administration.
adadmin > “2. Maintain Applications Files menu” > “4. Maintain snapshot information” > “2. Update current view snapshot” > “1. Update Complete APPL_TOP”

This process can take up to an hour.

PART 2 : PREPARE SOURCE SYSTEM

2.1 Prepare the Source System database tier for cloning

Log on to the Source database System as the oracle user, and run the following commands:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/$CONTEXT_NAME
$ perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

This process will take less than 5 minutes.

2.2 Prepare the Source System application tier for cloning

Log on to the run edition file system in the Source System as the applmgr user, and run the following commands on each node that contains an APPL_TOP:

First confirm if you are accessing run file system:

$ echo $FILE_EDITION

It should return the value:

run

Now run:

$ cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts

$ perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

**require Apps User password and Weblogic AdminServer password

When run for the first time, this process can take up to 15 min and will add 3-4 GB more data under $COMMON_TOP.

---

What will adpreclone do on Application Tier?

In 12.2, the adpreclone.pl process on the application tier creates a complete compressed archive of the Oracle Fusion Middleware and its components

A compressed archive of the Oracle WebLogic Server home, Oracle Web Tier Utilities home, Oracle Common Utilities home and the Oracle E-Business Suite home:

<COMMON_TOP>/clone/FMW/FMW_Home.jar

A compressed archive of the Oracle E-Business Suite WebLogic domain:

<COMMON_TOP>/clone/FMW/WLS/EBSdomain.jar

The Oracle E-Business Suite WebLogic domain’s configuration template:

<COMMON_TOP>/clone/FMW/WLS/plan/moveplan.xml

A compressed archive of the Oracle Web Tier/Oracle HTTP Server configuration instance:

<COMMON_TOP>/clone/FMW/OHS/ohsarchive.jar

The Oracle HTTP Server configuration instance’s configuration template:

<COMMON_TOP>/clone/FMW/OHS/moveplan.xml

---

PART 3 : COPY APPLICATION TIER NODE

How Application tier copy process is different in R12.2 as compared to R12.1.3?

In R12.2 since we have two file systems, RUN and PATCH, the copy process is executed two times

1. Copy Application Tier node from the Source “Run Edition File System” to the Target “Run Edition File System”.

2. Copy the Application Tier node from the Target “Run Edition File System” to the Target “Patch Edition File System”.

---

3.1 BACKUP SOURCE APPLICATION TIER

Log on to run edition file system in the Source System application tier nodes as the applmgr user or equivalent user.

Copy the EBSapps application tier directory from the Source Node to the target run edition file system application tier node

EBSapps directory contains <APPL_TOP> , <COMMON_TOP> and <OracleAS Tools 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>. EBSapps directory to be copied is located under run edition file system ($RUN_BASE ).

In our case run edition file system is > /u01/oracle/findba/fs2

[appdba@apphost fs2]$ echo $RUN_BASE

/u01/oracle/findba/fs2

[appdba@apphost fs2]$ cd $RUN_BASE

[appdba@apphost fs2]$ ls -tlr

total 12

drwxr-x— 3 appdba dba 4096 May 21 20:15 inst <<< DO NOT COPY

drwxr-x— 5 appdba dba 4096 Jun 8 15:37 EBSapps <<<<<<< DIRECTORY TO COPY

drwxr-x— 13 appdba dba 4096 Jun 8 15:57 FMW_Home <<< DO NOT COPY

You can use tar command like below to make a compressed copy of this directory.

$ nohup tar cvfz /home/appdba/dba_APPS_`date +%m%d%y`.tar.gz /u01/oracle/findba/fs2/EBSapps &

Consult the UNIX man page for the tar command to check the parameters available on your platform.

REMEMBER: If the source run edition file system is the first file system (fs1), the target run edition file system will also be the first file system (fs1). Similarly, if the source run edition file system is the second file system (fs2) (like in our case), then the target run edition file system will also be the second file system (fs2). Therefore, when you perform a cloning task, you always clone and copy the source run edition file system to create the target run edition file system, but the directory location of the run edition file system can be pointing either to <s_base>/<sid>/fs1 or <s_base>/<sid>/fs2 based on the source run edition file system base directory.

3.2 STOP TARGET APPLICATION SYSTEM SERVICES

If target application system is still running, you can stop it with below commands.

$ cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts
$ ./adstapall.sh apps/<apps_password>

3.3 CLEANUP TARGET APPLCIATION FILE SYSTEM

Remove application directory structure from under $RUN_BASE and $PATCH_BASE in the target application tier system.

3.4 COPY APPS FILESYSTEM BACKUP FROM SOURCE TO TARGET

scp the zip file generated in source application tier to the target application node.

Login to the source application tier and scp the apps backup file.

Example:

scp dba_apps_22apr13.tar.gz appclone@appclonehost: /tmp

3.5 RESTORE THE APPS FILESYSTEM ON TARGET NODE

Extract the backup by tar command

Example:

$ nohup tar xvfz /tmp/dba_apps_22apr13.tar.gz &

PART 4 : COPY DATABASE TIER NODE

For copying the database tier node from source to target database you can always follow the easiest approach of copying the database files from source to target database by first shutting down the source database system. But not all DBAs have the luxury to take down Production database just to refresh a non-production database. We also will not be taking down source database in our example and will go for RMAN hot backup cloning.

4.1 STOP TARGT DATABASE

Login to target Database node as oracle or equivalent user.

$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> shutdown immediate

4.2 CLEANUP TARGET DATABASE FIILE

Delete all target data files. Also check control_file & log_file location and remove them too.

Use simple rm –rf command to delete these database files

4.3 TAKE RMAN BACKUP OF SOURCE DATABASE

In our system we have one UNIX crontab already running with below RMAN script which takes database backup overnight.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

#! /bin/bash
. /u01/oracle/dba/db/tech_st/11.2.0/dba_dbhost.env/u01/oracle/dba/db/tech_st/11.2.0/bin/rman target=/ catalog=rman_user/<rman_user_password>@<catalog_SID> << EOFRUN

{

sql “alter system archive log current”;

allocate channel t1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ‘/oradb/dba_backups/rman/%U’;

allocate channel t2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ‘/oradb/dba_backups/rman/%U’;

allocate channel t3 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ‘/oradb/dba_backups/rman/%U’;

BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;

CROSSCHECK BACKUP;

DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;

}

EXIT;

EOF

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Use similar kind of RMAN commands to take RMAN database backup of source system.

We have catalog database also but you may or may not have it and it doesn’t matter.

4.4 COPY RMAN BACKUP PIECES TO TARGET NODE

Example:

Login to source database server:

cd /<source_rman_bakcup_location>

scp <backup_pieces> oraclone@dbclonehost.corp.com:/backups/rman_dba_17SEP14

4.5 CREATE PARAMETER FILE ON TARGET NODE

You can use the target pfile backup if you kept. Backup and remove any spfile from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory in the target node if your earlier target database was using spfile.

Add/edit following entry in the init file if not already present.

DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=’source_db_location_path’,'<target_db_location_path>’

LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=’source_log_location_path’,'<target_log_location_path>’

4.6 START TARGET DATABASE IN NOMOUNT MODE

Login to the target database node with oracle (or equivalent) user and start the database in nomount mode

$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> startup nomount

4.7 CREATE DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE BY RMAN

Start the RMAN session from the first target database node by oracle (or equivalent) user.

$ rman log=/home/oraclone/rman_22SEP14.log

RMAN> connect auxiliary /
RMAN> RUN
{
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE to clonedb BACKUP LOCATION ‘/oradb/dba_backups/rman’ NOFILENAMECHECK ;
}

Where /oradb/dba_backups/rman is the backup location where we kept the rman source database backup pieces.

RMAN process will create the duplicate database and opens it for you.

PART 5 : CONFIGURE TARGET DATABASE SYSTEM

5.1 DE-REGISTER THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION

As the APPS user, run the following command to de-register the current configuration:

Login from target database node:

$ sqlplus apps/<PASSWORD>

SQL> create table fnd_nodes_22ep14 as select * from fnd_nodes;

SQL> exec fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

5.2 EXECUTE AUTOCONFIG ON TARGET DATABASE NODE

On the target database node from the $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, execute AutoConfig on the database tier by running the adconfig.pl script.

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin
$ perl adconfig.pl dbTier

Check the AutoConfig log file located at below location for any errors.

<11gR2ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/log/<CONTEXT_NAME>/<MMDDhhmm>

Also check the CONTEXT_FILE which will get generated under $ORACLE_HOME/apputil

You can now include the generated env file (under $ORACLE_HOME) path in the .profile of the oracle user so that all required environment variables get exported automatically on user login.

6.4 COPY TARGET RUN EDITION OVER TARGET PATCH EDITION (NEW STEP IN R12.2)

Copy Oracle E-Business Suite application directory (EBSapps) from the run edition file system to the patch edition file system in the Target System.

Create the TARGET PATCH EDITION file system ( in our case /u01/oracle/R122/fs1/), if not already existing

Also Unset the application Environment if already set.

$ cd /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs2

$ cp -R EBSapps /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1

6.5 RUN ADCFGCLONE ON TARGET APPLICATION NODE PATCH EDITION (NEW STEP IN R12.2)

Log on to the patch edition file system in the Target System as the applmgr user and enter the following commands:

$ cd $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin

or

$ cd /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/EBSapps/comn/clone/bin

$ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier

Here $COMMON_TOP refers to path in TARGET PATCH EDITION file system ( in our case $COMMON_TOP is /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/EBSapps/comn)

The patch edition file system must be aware of the location of the run edition file system that will be configured in the next step. At the prompt “Location of Run System Context File”, enter the absolute path to the context file for the run edition file system that was created in the previous step (in our case path is /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs2/inst/apps/clonedb_appclonehost/appl/admin/clonedb_appclonehost.xml).

Also PATCH file system port pool will be different than RUN file system port pool.

Looking for incomplete CLONE record in ad_adop_session_patches table

The CLONE record status is no rows selected

Updating incomplete CLONE record to COMPLETED

6.6 START APPLICATION FROM RUN FILE SYSTEM AND REVIEW

Set RUN file system environment:

. /d01/oracle/finclonedb/EBSapps.env RUN

Start Application:

$ cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME

$ ./ adstrtal.sh

**require Apps User password and Weblogic AdminServer password

From EBS side you can do couple of CHECKS like below:

A) Login to the application. Check Apache, forms sessions are coming up fine.

B) Run Synchronize views for Oracle Workflow

Request Name = Workflow Directory Services User/Role Validation

p_BatchSize = 10000

p_Check_Dangling = Yes

Add missing user/role assignments = Yes

Update WHO columns in WF tables = No

C) Check concurrent manager processes.

D) Run simple request (like active users). Check if output and log files are opening fine.

E) If required, purge old log/out file from $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG and $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directories as you may find that the output/log files are showing old dates.

*Application opened up fine and all the CM, Apache, forms process etc were running normal.*

PART 7 : FINISHING TASKS

Finishing tasks are mostly same as we used to do in R12.1.3 and are not explained in details in this guide. Also many of the finishing tasks can be customized tasks specific to your applciation. Please leave a comment if you want any explanation on any of the finishing tasks.

In our case finishing tasks that we performed are :

1. Updating required profile options

2. Updating Workflow configuration settings

Checking for any instance-specific data in the Oracle Workflow configuration of the Target System and update accordingly

3. Updating the SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN value in ICX_PARAMETERS

4. Re-Implement SSL and SSO configuration

You may be required to do/undo SSL/SSO in target system. In our case both source and target doesn’t have SSL/SSO.

5. Changing SYS/SYSTEM/APPS/SYSADMIN/OTHER ORACLE passwords as per business requirements

6. CHANGING DEFAULT EBS BRANDING

For ease of use you can change the default branding of Oracle EBS. This is described below:

A) Default Branding change

1. Login with system administrator responsibility

2. Navigate: Application —> Function

3. Query the function FWK_HOMEPAGE_BRAND

4. Replace the User Function Name with the desired text

5. Logout, login and the change should be visible immediate

B) Login page Welcome Message (on top)

Application Developer responsibility – > Application -> Messages

SEARCH FOR FND_SSO_WELCOME AND LANGUAGE US

PUT VALUE

CloneDB instance

<<NEEDS APPLICATION SERVICES/APACHE BOUNCE>>

C) Login page Message (on the page)

Login – Functional Administrator – Personalization TAB

Search for /oracle/apps/fnd/sso/login/webui/MainLoginPG in Document Path:

Click on Personalization Page icon

On next page, assure that Site:Include is tick marked. Press ‘Apply’

Click on “Personalize” for Page Layout

In ‘Title’ for ‘Site’ value put ‘CloneDB Instance’. Press Apply

D) Site Name Profile Change

Login > System Administrator > Profile System

Search for Site Name profile

Update it to required value at site level

BOUNCE APPLICATION SERVICES NOW TO REFLECT THE CHANGES.

First of all de-register oracle_homes from the failed clone session

a) check ORACLE_HOMEs in ora inventory (check orac inventory location under /etc/oraInst.loc)

<REFHOME LOC=”/d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier“/>

</REFHOMELIST>

</HOME>

<HOME NAME=”OH1366755704″ LOC=”/d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier” TYPE=”O” IDX=”31″>

<DEPHOMELIST>

<DEPHOME LOC=”/d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common“/>

</DEPHOMELIST>

</HOME>

<HOME NAME=”OH455733530″ LOC=”/d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/FMW_Home/Oracle_EBS-app1” TYPE=”O” IDX=”32″/>

b) DETACH ORACLE_HOME

You will need to detach all the three oracle_home one by one.
$ cd /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common/oui/bin

[appclone@appclonehost bin]$ ./runInstaller -detachhome ORACLE_HOME=/d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier

3) DELETE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

Delete both FMW_Home and inst directory which adcfgclone created.
$ cd /d01/oracle/finclonedb/fs1

$ ls -tlr
total 12
drwxr-x— 5 appclone dba 4096 Sep 22 16:49 EBSapps
drwxr-x— 3 appclone dba 4096 Sep 22 16:55 inst
drwxr-x— 13 appclone dba 4096 Sep 23 09:43 FMW_Home

$ rm -rf FMW_Home inst

4) SET MISSING LOCAL_LISTENER ENTRY
SQL> alter system set local_listener=clonedb_local scope= both;

System altered.

SQL> show parameter local_listener

NAME TYPE VALUE

local_listener string CLONEDB_LOCAL

5) Restart listener
$ lsnrctl stop clonedb
$ lsnrctl start clonedb
