Steps to clone Oracle Applications database from PROD to TEST

Steps to clone Oracle Applications database from PROD to TEST
Steps to clone a database from PROD to TEST

The following is a brief Guideline on steps to follow to clone you Oracle Applications from PROD to TEST

1) log In to PROD Server as applprod user ; go to /applprod/prodappl ; run APPSORA.env

2) sqlplus system/manager
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace;
This will generate a trace file in $ORACLE_HOME//admin/_/udump/*.trc
Go to above directory

Run ls - alt
Find out latest trace file and edit the trace file
SID to desired SID (PROD to TEST)

3) Change dbf path accordingly.
Shutdown database (Shutdown normal both production & test server by using prod_stop.sh , your PROD stop script, and test_stop.sh your TEST stop script, respectively )

4) Now ftp to your server as applprod user and download the file from PROD server to Test server in /appltest directory .

5) Rename /appltest/testdata directory to /appltest/testdatabk
Create a new testdata directory in /appltest
Copy all datafiles, control file etc.of to new /appltest/testdata from PROD
(E.g rcp applprod @ ebsnode2:/applprod/proddata/*.dbf) and rename cntrl*.dbf to cntrl*.bak on test server

6) Run TEST instance .env file from /appltest/testdb/9.2.0 .
Now run the edited trace file (this will recreate the TEST database with PROD configuration) (sqlplus /nolog @edited script.sql)
This will start up TEST oracle database

7) Change profile_option_values from FND_profile_option_values table

==================================================

Select * from fnd_concurrent_queues
Where control_code=’N’

Update fnd_concurrent_queues
set target_node=NULL

Table ICX_Parameters set session_cookie= null

8) Clear concurrent Manager table from toad by using the following commands:

==================================================================================
UPDATE fnd_concurrent_processes
SET process_status_code = 'K'
WHERE process_status_code not in ('K', 'S');

UPDATE fnd_concurrent_queues
SET running_processes = 0, max_processes = 0;

UPDATE fnd_concurrent_queues
SET control_code = NULL
WHERE control_code not in ('E', 'R', 'X')
AND control_code IS NOT NULL;

UPDATE fnd_concurrent_queues
SET target_node = null;

UPDATE fnd_concurrent_requests
SET phase_code = 'C', status_code = 'E'
WHERE status_code ='T' OR phase_code = 'R'

===================================================================================


9) Copy the Server_ID from $FND_TOP/secure/ebsnode1_test.dbc and update the server_id column of FND_NODES table with that. Also change the NODE_NAME = EBSNODE1
Run the . APPSORA.env from /appltest/testappl directory

10) Now run following Java commands from command prompt:


=================================================================================
java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps AUTHENTICATION OFF DBC=/appltest/testappl/fnd/11.5.0/secure/TEST_ebsnode1/test.dbc

java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps AUTHENTICATION OFF DBC=/appltest/testappl/fnd/11.5.0/secure/ebsnode1.<>_test.dbc

java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps AUTHENTICATION OFF DBC=/appltest/testappl/fnd/11.5.0/secure/ebsnode1_test.dbc

====================================================================================

11)Shutdown the Oracle database. ; Start application by using test_start.sh from /appltest dir
If anything goes wrong check at http://:8000/OA_HTML/jsp/fnd/aoljtest.jsp

12) Login to Oracle Applications
Change Profile options from Application –
System Administrator(Responsibility) Profile-> System-> concurrent: GSM enabled = ‘N’

Thats's all folks
