clone_as_home

Clones the specified Application Server Oracle Home or S/W Library component from the target host to specified destinations. For a Portal and Wireless installation, the OID user and password are also needed. For a J2EE instance connected to only a DB-based repository, a DCM Schema password is needed.

Passing Variables Through EM CLI

When working with variables such as %perlbin% or %oracle_home%, EM CLI passes variable values from the current local environment instead of the variables themselves. To pass variables through an EM CLI command, as might be the case when using the -prescripts or -postscripts options, you can place the EM CLI command in a batch file and replace all occurrences of % with %%.

       [-oiduser=oid admin user]
       [-oidpassword=oid admin password]
       [-dcmpassword=dcm schema password]
       [-prescripts="script name to execute"]

       [-postscripts="script to execute"]
       [-run_postscripts_as_root="true/false"]
       [-rootscripts="script name to execute"]

• jobname

  Name of the cloning job.

• iasInstance

  Name of instance.

• isIas1013

  Specifies whether this is a 10.2.3 Ias home.

• oldoc4jpassword

  Old OC4j password. (Required for 10.1.3 Ias homes.)

• oc4jpassword

  New OC4J password. (Required for 10.1.3Ias homes.)

• oldIASAdminPassword

  Old Application Server administrator password. (Not required for 10.1.3 Ias homes.)

• newIASAdminPassword

• oiduser

  OID admin user.

• oidpassword

  OID admin password.

• dcmpassword

  DCM schema password.

• prescripts

  Path of script to execute.

  Double-quoted options can be passed using an escape (\) sequence. For example:

• postscripts

  Path of script to execute.

• run_postscripts_as_root

  Run postscripts as "root". By default, the option is set to false.

• rootscripts

  Path of the script to execute. The job system environment variables (%oracle_home%, %perl_bin%) can be used for specifying script locations.

• swlib_component

  Path to the Software Library to be cloned. "isSwLib" must be true in this case.

• source_params

  Source Oracle home information. "isSwLib" must be false in this case.
