Hi all,

I am going to perform application cloning 11i on two nodes configurations. We are on Win2000 and Apps ver. is 11.5.7. I am going to clone Production to QA.

I am following'Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with AutoConfig' document for Cloning.

I need clarification on foll. points.

1. In the document, it says that I have to run Rapid Install and choose ‘Create Upgrade File System’ option on page 4. But, in this option, it does not create some of the services such as Concurrent Manager. So, when Conc.Manager service will be created?

2. Under 'Update the Target System Configuration' on page 14, do I need to perform following tasks? I feel that I do not need to run these steps.

2.a.Create a new configuration file? <- because, when I ran
RapidInstall for the first time as stated on page 4, config.txt
file is already created.

2.b. Create a new Applications context file? <- Because, SID.xml is
also created during the Rapid Install.

2.c. Update the Applications context file <- Do I need to edit this
file because, it would already have correct values for new SID and
new instance.

2.d. Generate new target system configuration files <- This is
because, when I installed 11.5.7 version of applications, it is
Auto-Configed.

I would appreciate if somebody can help me understand the above.

Thanks in Advance.
