 Dear All,

In this post i am sharing one of the issue which i got the recently in My EBS R12.2.10 with 19C Database issue while running adpreclone.pl got the below error .

When running  $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adpreclone.pl on an application node, the below error occurs in $INST_TOP/admin/log/clone/fmwT2PStage/CLONEXXXXXX_XXXXX.error file:

SEVERE : <DATE&TIME> - ERROR - CLONE-20435 Some of the Oracle Homes are excluded during copy operation.

SEVERE : <DATE&TIME> - CAUSE - CLONE-20435 The following Oracle Homes were excluded during copy operation.

[/u07/EBSApps/Oracle/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier, /u07/EBSApps/Oracle/fs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common] , and possible causes were:

1. All the Oracle Homes were not registered with one OraInventory.

2. If all Oracle Homes were registered with a single custom OraInventory, then corresponding inventory pointer file was not provided to T2P operation.

3. Canonical path of Oracle Home registered with OraInventory was not child of Middleware Home.

SEVERE : <DATE&TIME> - ACTION - CLONE-20435 Make sure that all possible causes mentioned in above CAUSE section are taken care.

SEVERE : <DATE&TIME> - ERROR - CLONE-20218 Cloning is not successful.

Error Message :1

<DATE&TIME> - ERROR - CLONE-20435 Some of the Oracle Homes are excluded during copy operation.

<DATE&TIME> - CAUSE - CLONE-20435 The following Oracle Homes were excluded during copy operation.

[/u07/EBSApps/Oracle/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier, /u07/EBSApps/Oracle/fs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common] , and possible causes were:

1. All the Oracle Homes were not registered with one OraInventory.

2. If all Oracle Homes were registered with a single custom OraInventory, then corresponding inventory pointer file was not provided to T2P operation.

3. Canonical path of Oracle Home registered with OraInventory was not child of Middleware Home.

<DATE&TIME> - ACTION - CLONE-20435 Make sure that all possible causes mentioned in above CAUSE section are taken care.

Cause of the issue :

The cause of this issue is incorrect details on either the central inventory, or local inventory of EBS ORACLE_HOME. 

The above error was identified with the incorrect path for the PROPERTY NAME="MIDDLEWARE_HOME" on file "<FMW_HOME>/Oracle_EBS-app1/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml" located under the below directories:

/u07/EBSApps/Oraclefs1/FMW_Home/webtier/inventory/ContentsXML

/u07/EBSApps/Oraclefs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common/inventory/ContentsXML

The reason for checking the above two paths was identified from the error message seen on the $INST_TOP/admin/log/clone/fmwT2PStage/CLONEXXXXXX_XXXXX.error file:

SEVERE : <DATE&TIME> - CAUSE - CLONE-20435 The following Oracle Homes were excluded during copy operation.

[/u07/EBSApps/Oraclefs1/FMW_Home/webtier, /u07/EBSApps/Oraclefs1/FMW_Home/oracle_common] , and possible causes were:

Solution : 

Step 1: Take backup of the instance and the existing "<FMW_HOME>/webtier/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml" file located under the ORACLE_HOME local inventory. 

eg: /u07/EBSApps/Oracle/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/inventory/ContentsXML

Step : Check the path mentioned for PROPERTY NAME="MIDDLEWARE_HOME" in the file. This should point to the FMW_HOME on the same filesystem.

For example If the file is located in "<FMW_HOME>/oracle_common/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml", then the value of PROPERTY NAME="MIDDLEWARE_HOME" should be "/u07/EBSApps/Oracle/fs1/FMW_Home"

Step 3:  If the path mentioned is incorrect, edit the file to point to correct path.

Step 4: Save the changes.

Step 5:  Rerun the failed adpreclone.pl command.

Step 6:  Confirm  adpreclone.pl command now complete successfully without error.

Note:  test these steps in a non-business critical instance where the problem can be reproduced and then migrate accordingly...

Thanks,
