There are two errors when completing a clone from PROD. One is about the error “Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server” , you should check the vnc server address and port number on app tier, they must the same as the value of $DISPLAY. The other error is about “ORA-20100: File o0042978.tmp creation for FND_FILE failed” , you should check the environment variable $APPLPTMP on app tier, then to check the parameter value UTL_FILE_DIR. the $APPLPTMP should be included in the UTL

Management on database link
In a distributed database environment, using database link is a good choice, but sometimes It's tough for us to manage and maintain it. for example, if we change the password of source db name, we need to change it in target db source as well. Before Oracle version 11g, we must delete the link then create a new link to do so, but from Oracle 11.2 on, we can directly alter the database link to change the password. like that:alter database link dblinknameconnect to testidentified by newpsw;And if

AD configuration is an utility(adconfig.sh), also known as autoconfig, which is located in the $AD_TOP/bin directory.
