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.
