The clone stage area contains all the cloning code required to run RapidClone and is created as follows Database Tier: $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone Applications Tier: $COMMON_TOP/clone This contains the following directories and scripts : bin directory containing the configuration scripts for use on the target system: adclone.pl - the main cloning script adcfgclone.pl - used to configure the Target system, this calls adclone.pl adclonectx.pl - used to clone a Source XML file manually adchkutl.sh - checks for existence of require O/S utils, cc, make, ar and ld adaddnode.pl (Applications Tier only) - used when adding an additional node to an existing system. This script is used to add a new row(representing the new node) to AD_APPL_TOPS to ensure the Patch History data is applicable to all existing and new nodes context directory containing the context file templates : CTXORIG.xml - a copy of the source context file, and is used during the creation the Target Context file $C...

Questions & Answers ------------------- 1) When applying patches, where should the patch files reside so that ADPATCH can find them? The patches can be copied anywhere as long as the environment is set correctly when executing ADPATCH. Usually, the patches are located in a directory under $APPL_TOP. 2) Which drivers should be run first? If they have been run in the wrong order can you run them again? Patches that begin with 'db??????.drv' are database drivers. Database drivers should always be run after the patch.drv driver. The patch.drv is a file system patch which is used to update the file system with new versions of certain files. When there is more than one 'db' driver, the readme.txt should provide information on the required sequence for application. If 'db' drivers are not run in the correct order, you may rerun them using the correct sequence. 3) What does ADPATCH actually do with a ...

1. Which products provide patch sets? Answer ------ For character mode, there are no patch sets. Development does, when warranted, create cumulative server patches, but you may request single patches. For GUI, however, patch sets exist today for several products including Payables, Purchasing, Receivables, Order Entry, Assets, Projects, Inventory, Sales and Marketing, Cash Management and MRP. Any product with modular interdependencies has the potential for a product patch set. 2. Why aren't one-off client side patches provided as they have been for the server side? Answer ------ Oracle Applications code is highly modular and interdependent. When a fix is made to a single file, that file may in turn be included in several other application files. On UNIX and VMS servers, Oracle would send one single patched file and relink all affected files. In a 16-bit SmartClient environment relinking on site is not an o...
