A. Startup/Shutdown Log files for Application Tier in R12


Instance Top is new TOP added in R12 (to read more click here)

–Startup/Shutdown error message text files like adapcctl.txt, adcmctl.txt…
$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/appl/admin/log


–Startup/Shutdown error message related to tech stack (10.1.2, 10.1.3 forms/reports/web)

$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/ (10.1.2 & 10.1.3)
$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.3/Apache/error_log[timestamp]
$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.3/opmn/ (OC4J~…, oa*, opmn.log)$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.2/network/ (listener log)
$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/appl/conc/log (CM log files)



B. Log files related to cloning in R12


Preclone log files in source instance

i) Database Tier - /$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/(StageDBTier_MMDDHHMM.log)


ii) Application Tier - $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/admin/log/ (StageAppsTier_MMDDHHMM.log)


Clone log files in target instance


Database Tier - $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log/$CONTEXT_NAME/ApplyDBTier_.log
Apps Tier - $INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/admin/log/ApplyAppsTier_.log



—–
If your clone on DB Tier fails while running txkConfigDBOcm.pl (Check metalink note - 415020.1)
During clone step on DB Tier it prompts for “Target System base directory for source homes” and during this you have to give like /base_install_dir like ../../r12 and not oracle home like ../../r12/db/tech_st_10.2.0
