Solution:-

1) Ensure that the following packages are installed on the OMS Server. If not install them.

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package Update 3

2) Delete the <OMS_BASE_DIR>\gc_inst directory created during the oms configuration.

3) If the OEM installer is still running click on "Retry".

If not, execute following from command prompt:

    $ 13.5_OMS_HOME/oui/bin> ./runConfig.sh ORACLE_HOME=<13.5_OMS_HOME> MODE=perform ACTION=configure COMPONENT_XML={encap_oms.1_0_0_0_0.xml}

This should resolve the issue.

Preclone on DBTier fails with RC-20010: Fatal: Could not find Info-ZIP's zip version 2.3 in the PATH

 While running adpreclone on DB Tier , it fails with error RC-20010: Fatal: Could not find Info-ZIP's zip version 2.3 in the PATH

Environment Details:-

Application Version	R12.1.1
DB Version	11.2.0.4
OS	RHEL 7

While running adpreclone on dbTier following error message is thrown

[orapay@ccuine EIILPAY_ccuine]$ perl adpreclone.pl dbTier                       Copyright (c) 2002 Oracle Corporation                         Redwood Shores, California, USA                          Oracle Applications Rapid Clone                                   Version 12.0.0                        adpreclone Version 120.20.12010000.2  Enter the APPS User Password: … … … …   |      0% completed       RC-20010: Fatal: Could not find Info-ZIP's zip version 2.3 in the PATH. Please make sure you have zip version 2.3 in your PATH and rerun the command.zip 2.3 is normally available in $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ or it can be downloaded from http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html  ERROR while running Stage... Fri Aug  6 22:14:12 2021  ERROR while running perl /PAYROLL/EIILPAY/db/tech_st/11.2.0.4/appsutil/bin/adclone.pl java=/PAYROLL/EIILPAY/db/tech_st/11.2.0.4/jdk/jre mode=stage stage=/PAYROLL/EIILPAY/db/tech_st/11.2.0.4/appsutil/clone component=dbTier method=CUSTOM dbctx=/PAYROLL/EIILPAY/db/tech_st/11.2.0.4/appsutil/EIILPAY_ccuine105.xml showProgress ...

Reason:- The error is observed because Zip Version other zip version is installed in whereas adpreclone.pl is expecting ZIP version 2.3.

[orapay@ccuine105 ~]$ zip -v

Copyright (c) 1990-2008 Info-ZIP - Type 'zip "-L"' for software license.

This is Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008), by Info-ZIP.

So the above output shows our server has zip version 3 installed. And adpreclone is looking for ver 2.3

Solution:-

Solution 1: Stay with zip 2.3 

1.1 download zip 2.3 from http://www.info-zip.org/ 

1.2 unzip this file to a directory

 1.3 Add this directory in the PATH variable (now 'which zip' should give this location).

 Please make sure you have zip version 2.3 in your PATH

 1.4 Re-run adpreclone.pl

  

Solution 2 : Use zip 3.0 

2.1 Take a backup of you environment 

2.2 Review readme of Patch : 9171651 and apply all pre-requisites 

2.3 Apply patch Patch : 9171651 R12 RAPIDCLONE CONSOLIDATED FIXES JUL/2010

2.4 Retry the adpreclone.pl 

Solution 3: Copy Zip from appstier

3.1 scp or copy zip v2.3 from the apps tier’s location $ORACLE_HOME/bin,

to /usr/bin location.

3.2Make sure to take a backup of original zip in /usr/zip. And then retry adpreclone. It should work.

Once done revert back to original zip version
