Issue

Any of the following errors can occur when a previous clone was not cleaned up properly, or too well (missing oratab file):
  1. An exception thrown during the execution of method registerDatabase and the exception message is ORACLE-00500: oratab file does not exist. Expecting oratab file at /etc/oratab..
  2. PL-SCO-20032: canExecute operation failed with error:
    1. PL-SCO-30001: Database SID "<CLONE_SID>" already exists, there may be an existing database defined with this SID.
    2. PL-SCO-30048: The log archive destination log_archive_dest_1 is not empty.
    3. PL-SCO-30031: Redo log file /ora/<CLONE_SID>/origlogA/<REDO_LOG_NAME>.dbf exists.
  3. These may also be shown, but do not fail the cloning operation - the files will just be added to making them bigger each time:
    1. PL-SCO-30051: File "/oracle/<CLONE_SID>/19/dbs/init<CLONE_SID>.ora" already exists for clone SID, there may be an existing database defined with this SID.
    2. PL-SCO-30051: File "/oracle/<CLONE_SID>/19/dbs/spfile<CLONE_SID>.ora" already exists for clone SID, there may be an existing database defined with this SID.
    3. PL-SCO-30051: File "/oracle/<CLONE_SID>/19/dbs/orapw<CLONE_SID>" already exists for clone SID, there may be an existing database defined with this SID.
