CAUSE

During the Configuration of the APPS-Tier Technology Stack the opmn process tries to stop the Services. As opmn is not used in this case for the 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME it should not have been started. The OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) is waiting for a failure or error of the opmn, which is not happening. As a result the OUI Cloning process is failing with a timeout, without touching the Technology Stack.

This issue is reported in unpublished Bug 5697740 - 'OPMN START FAILED DURING OH10.1.2 CLONING.'

SOLUTION

To implement the solution/workaround, please execute the following steps :

Workaround 1 :
1. Start the adcfgclone again :

1. Start the adcfgclone again :

2. When it appears to hang again, check if opmn processes have been started :

ps -ef | grep opmn

If following result is presented, please follow next steps :

<user> <PID> 28462  0 <Time> pts/ta   0:00 <10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>/opmn/bin/opmn -a -q ping
<user> <PID> 28459  0 <Time> pts/ta   0:00 <10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
<user> <PID> 28459  0 <Time> pts/ta   0:00 <10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>/opmn/bin/opmnctl status

3. Kill the "opmn -a -q ping" and the "opmnctl stopall" using the PID's presented in step 2 :

3.1 kill -9 <PID of opmn -a -q ping>
3.2 kill -9 <PID of opmnctl stopall>
3.3 kill -9 <PID of opmnctl status>

The clone should continue now, in case it appears to hang again check if the opmn processes are started again and kill them until the clone continues.

Workaround 2:
1 - cat <10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>/opmn/conf/opmn.xml | grep remote (and write down the remote number)

2 - edit <10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME>/opmn/conf/ons.conf

Change :

nodes=ap6004bld.us.oracle.com:15007

Into:

nodes=<AppsTier Hostname>:<Remote port number from 1>

3 - execute perl  adcfgclone.pl appsTier again
