Experiments from the Field..Based on True Stories

If you ever got this ERROR while adcfgclone.pl, then it would do you good to check if you have existing directories named in the context file.

As misleading the below error message is, if you debug the perl
scripts and check the code a base path is not being able to be
constructed by adcdfclone.pl.

To make a long story short, if you just
double check all the directory paths that have been mentioned in the
context file, you can just get around this problem easily.



This misleading error message is fixed in R12.

Here is an example of such an instance..

        perl /apsd01/apps/apsdcomn/clone/bin/adclone.pl
java=/apsd01/apps/apsdcomn/clone/bin/../jre mode=apply stage=/apsd01/apps/apsdcomn/clone/bin/.. component=appsTier method=CUSTOM appctxtg=/apsd01/apps/apsdappl/admin/APSD_apsd.xml  showProgress contextValidated=false

ERROR: OUI files not found at their expected location.
Setting OUI path to: /appsoui

ERROR: OUI files not found at their expected location. Please make sure that the pre-requisite OUI patch was applied correctly: patch should be unzipped directly at the ORACLE_HOME root level so that OraInstaller.jar exists in either
1/oui/jlib/
or
1/oui/lib/

Restart adclone.pl after performing required corrections.
