Cloning Overview
• Initiated by developers
• On demand, not on a schedule
• Takes about 2 hours
Cloning Steps
Source -> Target
• Shut down target Application Servers
and Process Schedulers
• Run a job in the OEM console
• Delete caches
• Start up target Application Servers and
Process Schedulers
• Test and notify
Cloning Step – AS & PS
Shut down target Application Servers and
Process Schedulers
This is a manual step. Log in to the target
machines and stop the services. It is
possible it could be automated, but we
have not automated it
Cloning Step – OEM Console
Run a job in the OEM Console
If the source database does not have a
current RMAN backup, you will need to
perform a backup now. Most of our
clones have the source databases as our
production database, which means we
can clone at any time without performing
a backup first.
Cloning Step – OEM Console
Make sure the database backup files are present.
Cloning Step – OEM Console
Submit the clone job to the console

Post Clone Script
This “post clone script” is where all of
the customized SQL code gets run
There is a separate “post clone script”
for each target

Manual Steps
• Up to this point, everything has been run
as part of a script. Now we start the
manual steps.
Manual Steps
• Change the SYSADM password in the
target database.
• Log on to datamover in bootstrap mode
• Log in as sysadm and the source
database’s sysadm password. Run the
script: CHANGE_ACCESS_PASSWORD
SYSADM <new_sysadm_password>
Manual Steps
• Start the Application Server and Process
Schedulers on the target database
• Test the new infrastructure
– Log in
– Submit jobs to the process schedulers
– Interfaces
Manual Steps
• Notify the developers
