Cloning EBS concepts in brief
Cloning in EBS is a method that allows you to move components of an existing EBS system to a different location, either on the same server or a different server without reinstalling the EBS. Cloning is the process used to create a copy of an existing EBS system. There are various scenarios for cloning an EBS system, which are as follows:
Standard cloning: Making a copy of an existing Oracle Applications system, for example, a copy of a production system to test updates
System scale up: Adding new machines to an Oracle Applications system to provide the capacity for processing an increased workload
System transformations: Altering system data or filesystems, including actions such as platform migration, data scrambling, and provisioning of high availability architectures
Patching and upgrading: Delivering new versions of Applications components, and providing a mechanism for creating rolling environments to minimize downtime
