  5. Thanks BrotherI have run the Pre Clone command after that I shutdown the Source(proddb) & Target(clonedb) Machines. Then copy the file from Source to Target Machines. After finish the copy. After finished the copy I will start the dbTier & appsTier in Source & Target Machines for Post Cloning.But question is that how it will start the Target(clonedb) machine because I have copied here from Source(proddb) machine.How Target machine will recognize the Source machine files.Thank you very much
