Section 1: Terminology
Cloning an Oracle E-Business Suite system that uses an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) enabled database involves numerous different technology components and steps, and would therefore be a complex, error-prone process if carried out manually.
To speed up, simplify, and enhance reliability of the process, Oracle offers the following tools for use in cloning RAC Enabled Oracle E-Business Suite systems:
- Rapid Clone – Command-line tool
- Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite (AMP) – GUI-based tool used for automated end-to-end cloning
This document provides details of the RAC scenarios that are currently certified for cloning using these tools. Other scenarios are planned as shown.
Note: Scenarios not shown are not supported.
Section 2: Supported Scenarios
The following table illustrates the various cloning permutations that exist with different versions of Oracle E-Business Suite and its components, operating system software, and the cloning tools available.
