Cause:

It was unable perform re-linking of libraries from 10.1.2 home and hence adcfgclone.pl error-ed out and unable to configure the config home (10.1.2/10.1.3)

On Investigation we found that "LDR_CNTRL" environment variable is set and due to this clone script was unable to perform re-linking of the libraries.

Solution:

unset the environment variable  "LDR_CNTRL" and re run adcfgclone.pl appTier. It should solve the Issue. Please verify log files for errors.

[oratest@testerp[/oratest]#echo $LDR_CNTRL
MAXDATA=0x40000000

- In my environment this value was configured in .profile file. Simply comment these entries

[oratest@testerp[/oratest]#grep LDR_CNTRL .profile
#LDR_CNTRL="MAXDATA=0x40000000"
#export LDR_CNTRL
[oratest@testerp[/oratest]#

- Make sure the below command does not return any value

[oratest@testerp[/oratest]#echo $LDR_CNTRL

[oratest@testerp[/oratest]#

- Re run adcfgclone.pl script:

[oratest@testerp[/oratest/R12_app/apps_st/comn/clone/bin]#perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier /oratest/R12_app/inst/apps/test_testerp/appl/admin/test_testerp.xml
