During the recent Multi Node to Single Node R12 Clone, Encountered an strange error. When doing the database portion of the clone. Below command 'adclonectx.pl' creates the Context file

perl adclonectx.pl contextfile=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/SOURCE_CONTEXT_FILE.xml template=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/template/adxdbctx.tmp pairsfile=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/pairsfile.txt initialnode

 

When running the same command, It dumped the below error,

 

file:/tmp/tmpCtxClone.xml<Line 1, Column 1>: XML-20108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected.

AC-10006: Exception - org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: file:/tmp/tmpCtxClone.xml<Line 1, Column 1>: XML-20108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected. thrown while creating OAVars object for file: /tmp/tmpCtxClone.xml

The new database context file has been created :
  /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0_IOFT/appsutil/IOFT_frws35ta.xml

 

At first site, I suspected that the issue is with format of the source xml file. Hence compared with the working XML file. Result is clean. Below portion of the error struck me

Thrown while creating OAVars object for file: /tmp//dummy.xml

 

Cause :

The /tmp is 100% full.

 

Fix:

Either remove the old files in /tmp  directory  OR  export TEMP=/new/location where there is plenty of free space.
