Cloning an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 system can be accomplished by running the Rapid Clone tool. This tool can be employed with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, or any AutoConfig-enabled earlier releases.

cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts
./adpreclone.pl appsTier   ---------------------application Tier

copy all the application tier file system to the target system (appl_top,common_top,technology stack 10.1.2 ,10.1.3)

dbtier vs dbTechStack

dbTechStack will configure the target database ORACLE_HOME but it will not create controlfiles or open the database. You need to use dbTechStack when you clone the database using hotbackup as you will need to create/open the database manually
