Hi,

I will explain how to clone Oracle EBS with DualFS and how to solve Autoconfig error during DualFS in this article.

Cloning Oracle EBS R12.2 with DualFS

You should read following article if you don’t know What is the Cloning Oracle EBS and how to clone Oracle EBS.

Oracle EBS R12.2 ( E-Business Suite ) Step by Step Cloning – Oracle EBS Clone

You can use DualFS during Oracle EBS Cloning to make easy it. Normally When you Clone Oracle EBS, once Run edition is completed after Post clone, you need to create Patch edition manually. If you use DualFS, there is no need to create patch edition manually because DualFS does this task.

DualFS EBS Clone Option

You can run Post Clone step in Oracle EBS with dualFS option like following.

[applmgr@ebstest2 bin]$
[applmgr@ebstest2 bin]$ perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier dualfs
