Cloning Oracle SOA Suite 11g
Another very important utility to back up your environment and create an exact
replica of it at a later stage, or at a different location altogether, is
cloning
. As
the word suggests, cloning not only copies an existing environment to a different
location, but also preserves its state, enabling you to create a new Middleware
Home with all post-installation patches. Cloning is also a highly effective way to
have the same snapshot and configurations across different distributed environ-
ments.
Cloning an existing Oracle SOA Suite 11g infrastructure is a multistep process
that needs to be executed in a sequential manner as shown in the following
screenshot:
1.
The Middleware binary movement involves activities needed to create a
backup archive of your Middleware Home. Then, if required, paste it else-
where.
2.
The Middleware configuration movement involves steps to back up, extract,
edit, and paste domain configuration. Broadly, the activities can be divided in-
to the following two steps:
•
Backing up and moving the Middleware Home installation
•
Cloning the WebLogic Server domain
