The goal of this post is to give details on the issue which we had encountered when we were trying to do a clone for EBS 12.2.6 to target running on OEL 8. Source was running on OEL7. As part of cloning steps, we need to run adcfgclone.pl appsTier dualfs for configuring the file system. As part of the process, the steps were failing on the pre checks for FMW. It was erroring out with
=====================================
Expected result: One of oracle-7,redhat-7,redhat-6,oracle-6,oracle-5,enterprise-5.4,enterprise-4,enterprise-5,redhat-5.4,redhat-4,redhat-5,SuSE-10,SuSE-11
Actual Result: oracle-8.5
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
=======================================
OS being used was OEL8 and thus it shouldn't have been an issue. Upon deep dive into the configuration files, i found that the pre checks for FMW use the file refhost.xml which basically resides under EBSapps/comn/clone/prereq/webtier/Scripts/prereq/linux64. So as a workaround, i added the copied the contents for oracle-7 and made it look like as oracle-8 and pasted it at the top of the file.
Then i reran the adcfgclone again and now it passed the prechecks for FMW. The intention of the post is just a way for workaround and it should not be a solution.
Thank you very much for posting your solution. I had a 12.2.3 env w/ad/txk 11 using OEL6 and I needed to clone it to OEL8. I hit the same problem on the apps tier clone (db was fine) and this solution was a lifesaver. I have a SR open with support but so far no solution. I'm asking them what patch will deliver a new refhost.xml file that contains the needed OEL8 entries.
ReplyDeletestartCD51 has refhost.xml with Linux 8
