Forrest,
Apologies for not getting back to u sooner.
Cloning on Nt (adv. Server) works very well when u have a SINGLE instance on each box. Also, O/S does not support multi to single clones (per the Feb 12 white paper).
Our env is 1157, nt Adv srvr) running autoconfig for cloning, via Feb 12 white paper.
Bugs, we have seen on Single Instance Boxes are:
Following past papers. There's ALLOT of conflicting information from Oracle on this.
Make sure registry setting ADJVAPRG=f:\oracle\prodora\8.0.6\jdk\bin\java.exe (ie prod-'SID') under HKLM\S\ORACLE\APP\11.5.0\'SID' is correct
icx_parameter record gets propagated incorrectly (only one record)
adconfig does Not create apps listener.ora file or hangs at apps lister process. Work around is to make sure apps lsnr is up when running adconfig
If there's service issues rebuild the services thru Oracles documented cmd files and REBOOT.
Still having problems, side issues, rebuild jar files, C/M (adsvcm.cmd), reboot.
Do NOT update env, system env settings. This causes many many problems and is for multiple instances Cloning challenges Only.
Having said that, Bugs for multi-instance installs/cloning are Lengthier and a different issue (Its not clean like UINX). Between having to update the user, system env's, customize the registry (which is not supported or documented by Oracle untill 1158 and rapidclone (as stated to me by Oracle devl.)) and dealing with multi-ple services that are problematic Its less risky (notice the wordsmithing here..) than If u perform single instance installs, clones etc... It can be done though... The real problem with multiple instances/cloning is that registry settings are hard-coded.
