R12.1.2 New Feature of EBS cloning (With Rapid Clone)


As many of you know a cloning is one of the most DBA time consuming operations. For the first few times an Apps DBA may enjoy it. However, after the 10th cloning it becomes a boring routine.

If you have tried to automate EBS cloning then you definitely know that you can’t get through without customizing the Oracle-provided Rapid Clone utility. One of the areas we should customize  to make it running in batch scripts is the services startup bit. The problem is that by default straight after Rapid Clone is completed Oracle starts all the services on the Apps node and until now there wasn’t a way to change it.

There are many reasons why you wouldn’t start Apps processes straight after Rapid Clone is completed.


  • Among them are APPS user password change (this is typical operation for cloning)
  • SSO integration
  • CM/CR disabling etc.


R12.1.2 brings on board a small but very nice feature. From now on, Rapid Clone will ask you if you would like to start services at the end of Rapid Clone call:

Do you want to startup the Application Services for EBSPRD? (y/n) [y] : n

How great is this? Now we can specify that we don’t want to starup services and run after cloning steps before we are ready to start the environment.
