Ron: I would definitely not suggest ignoring adpatch. Should you actually need to use this DR site and something went wrong, Oracle may not offer you any help. If rsync can offer you 100% replication than I would try it and validate it. However, applications is a much different beast than just the database. File system names, node names, database names, tns names, userids, passwords, etc. are embedded within the code and are very difficult to change. It would be best to take a complete image copy of the database environment, the apps environment and then use adpatch and adadmin to verify the environment once completed.

Looking for resource recommendations (FM to read, white papers, etc). Sticky part of this is it is an Applications 11.5.9 installation. The database end of it should not be too difficult (8.1.7.4, soon to be 9.2.0.4), but the applications file system is modified by the adpatch utility which adpatch requires a database connection to function. I can think of 2 ways to get around this requirement. 1. set the two_task to point to a live test system, and run adpatch force using the c and g drivers. The d driver would not need to be run since the changes will come over via the archive logs. 2. ignore adpatch utility completely and use rsync. Suggestion, comments? Thanks,.
