The program is going to ask you for information about the new system:


Provide the values required for creation of the new APPL_TOP Context file.

Do you want to use a virtual hostname for the target node (y/n) [n] ?:

Target system database SID [OFMSINST]:(new database name)

Target system domain name [xxxx]:

Target system database server node [xxxxx]:

Target system database domain name [xxxx]:

Does the target system have more than one application tier server node (y/n) [n]
?:y

Does the target system application tier utilize multiple domain names (y/n) [n]
?:

Target system concurrent processing node [xxxx]:

Target system administration node [xxxx]:

Target system forms server node [xxxx]:oraapp01

Target system web server node [xxxx]:oraapp01

Is the target system APPL_TOP divided into multiple mount points (y/n) [n] ?:

Target system APPL_TOP mount point [u01/inst/appl]:/u02/regt/appl ( new appl top location)

Target system COMMON_TOP directory [u01/inst/comn]:/u02/regt/comn (new common top location)

Target system 8.0.6 ORACLE_HOME directory [u01/inst/ora/8.0.6]:/u02/regt/ora/8.0.6 (new 806 oh location)

Target system iAS ORACLE_HOME directory [u01/inst/ora/iAS]:/u02/regt/ora/iAS (new IAS home location)

Do you want to preserve the Display set to xxxxx (y/n) [y] ?:

Location of the JDK on the target system [opt/java1.5]:

Target system JRE_TOP [opt/java1.5]:
