Hi all, Looks like we have a fair bunch of Oracle Apps DBAs on this list! The issues of cloning for 10.7 (various flavors), 11 and 11i are quiet different from each other. This is mostly because the underlying technical architecture has changed between each of these versions. Have a look at the following link for a collection of the most comprehensive papers on this subject.
http://www.dbatoolbox.com/Content/cloning_wp.htm 11i cloning can be done 'officially' using the adclone utility, but this is cumbersome. Unofficially, there are a variety of methods that are addressed in these links.
