New Feature on AD/TXK 7 - Oracle EBS 12.2.5 Application Tier Cloning With Dualfs Option

In Oracle EBS 12.2.2, 12.2.3 & 12.2.4, application tier cloning has to be done for each RUN & PATCH file systems separately.

But now in Oracle EBS 12.2.5, with AD/TXK 7 application tier cloning for both RUN & PATCH file systems can be done at once by using the new feature option dualfs as follows. This is very useful in reducing the time required for cloning.

Let's assume source instance RUN file system is fs2.
Then copy the source instance fs2 RUN file system EBSapps directory to target instance fs2 directory. After the cloning, fs2 will become the RUN file system of the instance and fs1 will become PATCH file system  automatically.
