How to clone EBS and Database?

Follow the below steps carefully to complete ‘rapid clone using rman’ backup for the EBS & Database

First Steps: 1

NOTE:- When you are planning for cloning, before taking backup, you have to run preclone on database and application.

Running Preclone on dbTier :-

1)Login on 197.0.0.511 as oracle user.

root@prod# su – oracle

oracle@prod$

oracle@prod$pwd

/oracle/home/oracle

oracle@prod$cd ora10g

oracle@prod$pwd

/oracle/home/oracle/ora10g

oracle@prod$. ./*.env

oracle@prod$echo $ORACLE_SID

PROD

oracle@prod$cd appsutil/scripts/PROD_prod

oracle@prod$ls -ltr adpreclone.pl

-rwx—— 1 oracle dba 14345 Dec 19 2009 adpreclone.pl

oracle@prod$perl adpreclone.pl dbTier

It will prompt you for the apps user’s password. Give the password and enter. The preclone process will run for 3-5 minutes. Once it is complete and you get the prompt, run Preclone on APPSTIER as follows: –

Running Preclone on appsTier :–

2) Login on 197.0.0.11 as applmgr user.

root@appsprd # su – applmgr

applmgr@appsprd$pwd

/apps/home/applmgr

applmgr@appsprd$cd prodappl

applmgr@appsprd$pwd

/apps/home/applmgr/prodappl

applmgr@appsprd$. ./*.env

applmgr@appsprd$cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/PROD_appsprd

applmgr@appsprd$pwd

/apps/home/applmgr/prodcomn/admin/scripts/PROD_appsprd

applmgr@appsprd$ls -ltr adpreclone.pl

-rwx—— 1 applmgr oaa 14271 Dec 19 2009 adpreclone.pl

applmgr@appsprd$perl adpreclone.pl appsTier

The above command will run for around 10 minutes. You can shutdown the Application and Database, when the adpreclone is completed on dbTier and appsTier.

Second Steps : 2

NOTE : After running the preclone successfully. Now you can shut down the services for APPS and DB.

Procedure for Shutting down the Oracle EBS Applications:-

1)Login on 197.0.0.11 (APPSPRD) from Power Term Software or X-manager.

2)Login as application user.

root@appsprd # su – applmgr

3)Then list the files

applmgr@appsprd$ ls

4)Go to prodappl directory

applmgr@appsprd$ cd prodappl

5) Run the environment file

applmgr@appsprd$. ./*.env

6) Check the environment

applmgr@appsprd$ env

(Note: It must show all the TOPS after running the env command)

7) Then type

applmgr@appsprd$ cd $COMMON_TOP/admin

8) Run pwd

applmgr@appsprd$ pwd

The result should be following

/apps/home/applmgr/prodcomn/admin

9) Then list the files

applmgr@appsprd$ ls

10) Go to the following Directory

applmgr@appsprd$ cd scripts

11) Then list the files

applmgr@appsprd$ ls

12) Go to PROD_appsprd directory

applmgr@appsprd$ cd PROD_appsprd

13) Check the path

applmgr@appsprd$ pwd

The result should be following

/apps/home/applmgr/prodcomn/admin/scripts/PROD_appsprd

14) Then list the files

applmgr@appsprd$ ls

15) Now check the processes of applmgr user

applmgr@appsprd$ ps –fu applmgr

It will show all the processes under the applmgr user.

16) Then run the following script

applmgr@appsprd$ sh adstpall.sh apps/password

17) Now wait till the prompt comes.

18) Check the status of all the scripts. Theexit status should show the value of 0.

18. (a) Now go to the path as below :

applmgr@appsprd$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/discwb4/util

The output of the above command should be as follows:

applmgr@appsprd$ pwd /apps/home/applmgr/9iAS/8.0.6/discwb4/util

applmgr@appsprd$ ls

It will show many different scripts.

18. (b) Now run the following script :

applmgr@appsprd$./stopall.sh

19) Now wait till all the applmgr processes are finished. This will be going to take some time.

applmgr@appsprd$ ps –fu applmgr

20)Run the above command again and again till there are none of the processes remain.

(Note: You may have to kill some processes which are not killed by itself. For e.g. Processes

Starting with FNDLIBR, /usr/j2se, f60webmx etc. Kill the processes very carefully, if required.)

This completes the procedure for Shutting down the Oracle Applications.

To start the EBS application, using adstral.shscript.

$sh adstral.sh apps/<password>

Procedure for Shutting down the Oracle Database:-

Once the Oracle Applications is closed and all the processes are finished, the next step is to shutdown the Oracle Database.

1)Open a new window at 197.0.0.51 (Prod) console.

2)Login with oracle user

root@prod # su – oracle

3)Then go to oracle home directory

oracle@prod$ cd ora10g

oracle@prod$pwd /oracle/home/oracle/ora10g

4)Run the environment file

oracle@prod$. ./*.env

5)Check the environment

oracle@prod$ env

6)Then shutdown the database by the following steps on SQL prompts.

oracle@prod$sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’

SQL> alter system checkpoint;

SQL> shutdown immediate

Then wait till it comes back to SQL prompt.

SQL> exit

NOTE:– ( It may take sometimes, 10-15 minutes for the database to get down.Wait till then.)

7) Check the alert.log for any error messages.

8)Now run the listener utility to stop the listener processes.

oracle@prod$lsnrctl

LSNRCTL> stop PROD

Then wait till it comes back to LSNRCTL prompt.

LSNRCTL> exit

9)Now check the processes for oracle

oracle@prod$ps –fu oracle.

10) Make sure no oracle processes exists on the Oracle server.

This completes the procedure for Shutting down the Oracle Database.

Third Steps: 3

Part A:

We have to copy the database Backup files from Venuss to appstst (197.0.0.24).

Or simply restore database directly from /Backup/RMAN_HOTBACKUP/PROD_DB.

Password: **********

root@venuss # cd /backup03/TEST/RMAN_HOTBACKUP/PROD_DB

root@venuss # rcp –pr PROD* 197.0.0.24:/data01

root@venuss # cd /backup01/cold_backup/binaries

root@venuss # time rcp –pr ora10g 197.0.0.24: /oracle/home/oracle

Part B:

We have to copy the application files from Venuss to appstst (197.0.0.24).

root@venuss # cd /backup01/appsprd_backup

root@venuss # time rcp –pr prodappl 197.0.0.24: /backup/home/applmgr

root@venuss # time rcp –pr prodcomn 197.0.0.24: /backup/home/applmgr

root@venuss # time rcp –pr 9iAS 197.0.0.24: /backup/home/applmgr

Fourth Steps: 4

Change the ownership of datafiles.

Password: **********

root@appstst # cd /data03/test

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba dbfiles

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba sysdbfiles

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba controlfiles

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba undofiles

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba logfiles

root@appstst # ls –ltr

root@appstst # cd /archive/TEST

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba ndxfiles

root@appstst # cd /oracle/home/oracle

root@appstst # chown –R oracle:dba ora10g

root@appstst # ls –ltr

Change the ownership of Application files.

root@appstst # cd /backup/home/applmgr

root@appstst # chown –R applmgr:oaa prodcomn

root@appstst # chown –R applmgr:oaa prodappl

root@appstst # chown –R applmgr:oaa 9iAS

root@appstst # ls –ltr

Rename the directory.

root@appstst # cd /backup/home/applmgr

mv prodcomn testcomon

mv prodappl testappl

root@appstst # ls –ltr

RMAN restoration on target database.

$cd /Backup/RMAN_HOTBACKUP/PROD_DB

Prepared pfile on target database. Start database in nomount mode.

$sqlplus / as sysdba

$sql>startup nomount

$sql>select name,open_mode from v$database;

Restore controlfile from backup (/Backup/RMAN_HOTBACKUP/PROD_DB)

$rman target /

$RMAN> restore controlfile from

‘/Backup/RMAN_HOTBACKUP/PROD_DB/PROD_CTL_ctq1rplm_8605_1’;

$RMAN>sql ‘alter database mount’;

Update catalog to restore database.

$RMAN>catalog start with ‘Backup/RMAN_HOTBACKUP/PROD_DB’;

Restore Database:-

$RMAN> @/oracle/home/oracle/restoretestdb.sql

After successful restoration open database with resetlogs. Add tempfile and rename redo logs file.

To change DB name follow the below steps:-

To change the database name in addition to the DBID, specify the DBNAME parameter. This example changes the name to test_db:

Ensure that the target database is mounted but not open, and that it was shut down consistently prior to mounting. For example:

Note:- Ensure tempfile and redo file available before going to rename Database name.

SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

STARTUP MOUNT

$nid TARGET=SYS/xxxxx DBNAME=test_db

SQL>ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

After that modify the parameter file as db_name

nid target=sys@M3RPT REVERT=Y

# HOW TO CHANGE APPS PASSWORD BY FNDCPASS COMMMAND

############################################################################

Here is Steps to Change Apps Password:

1- Shutdown all the application Services.(and start the database and its listener)

3- Issue the commands at the Unix command line similar to the following:

FNDCPASS apps/apps12345 0 Y system/prodmgr SYSTEM APPLSYS <new password>

NOTE : VERY IMPORTANT! (on appsprd(application server)

Sqlplus /nolog

Sql> connect apps/<New Passwd>

Sql> show User

Run the autoconfig on db and appsTier.

5- Start all the Application services with New APPS Password

6-Submit a Active User request and check that request completes successfully.

Note :- Before changing the password your database and listener should be up.

Note:- Above steps will work with EBS R12.1.*. For R12.2 follow the below steps to clone.

Cloning procedure for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 with Rapid Clone.

The cloning of EBS consist of the following three phase.

1. Prepare the source system for the apps Tier.

2. Copy both APPS Tier nodes from source to target system.

3. Configure the Target System for apps Tier.

Configure target system application tier server.

Make sure below file system have correct ownership, if not please change it as below.

root# mkdir -p /oracle/apps/fs1/

root# mkdir -p /oracle/apps/fs2/

root# mkdir -p /oracle/apps/fs_ne/

root#chown -R applmgr:dba /oracle/apps/fs1/ /oracle/apps/fs2/ /oracle/apps/fs_ne/

root#chmod -R 775 /oracle/apps/fs1/ /oracle/apps/fs2/ /oracle/apps/fs_ne/

Login run edition file system in the target system as applmgr user.

$cd $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin

$perl adcfgclone.pl appTier

Note:- Provide the currect input while prompt after execution of adcfgclone.pl. Do the same as previor release (R12.1.1).

Once cloning of fs1 file system completed. Check the opmn status.

$sh adopmnctl.sh status

Now we will clone the fs2 file system. Source the patch file system.

$cd $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin

$perl adcfgclone.pl appTier

Note:- Once completed it. Do the post steps as below.

1. Change the system password.

2. Change APPS password.

3. Change the site name.

4. Change the Form Colour .

5. Run cmclean.sql

6. Clear the unwanted schedule program.

7. Deactivate the Workflow service.
