Locating and Viewing Log Files Generated During Cloning

The cloning script runs multiple tools, each of which may generate its own log files.

After the clone.pl script finishes running, you can view log files to obtain more information about the cloning process.

The following log files that are generated during cloning are the key log files of interest for diagnostic purposes:

• Central_Inventory/logs/cloneActionstimestamp.log

  Contains a detailed log of the actions that occur during the Oracle Universal Installer part of the cloning.

• Central_Inventory/logs/oraInstalltimestamp.err

  Contains information about errors that occur when Oracle Universal Installer is running.

• Central_Inventory/logs/oraInstalltimestamp.out

  Contains other miscellaneous messages generated by Oracle Universal Installer.

• $ORACLE_HOME/clone/logs/clonetimestamp.log

  Contains a detailed log of the actions that occur before cloning and during the cloning operations.

• $ORACLE_HOME/clone/logs/errortimestamp.log

  Contains information about errors that occur before cloning and during cloning operations.

The following table describes how to find the location of the Oracle inventory directory.
