Cloning is the process used to create a copy of an existing Oracle Applications system.  If you’re running Release 12 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), you can now clone your environments with Rapid Clone.

Prerequisites
Until today — prior to the combined availability of these two patchsets — Windows users have been restricted from using Rapid Clone.  If you had attempted to clone a Windows-based R12 environment without these prerequisites, you would have encountered issues with executing a few scripts, and some registry entries would have been set incorrectly for a number of services.
