Applies to:

Application Install - Version: 11.5.10.1

This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

When trying to run the adpreclone commands in both Apps and DB tier,

they fails with the following error message :

 

ERROR

Global symbol "$resultclone" requires explicit package name at adpreclone.pl line 525.

syntax error at adpreclone.pl line 527, near "$resultclone !"

syntax error at adpreclone.pl line 531, near "}"

Execution of adpreclone.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Cause

This is explained in the following unpublish bug:

Bug.<5235401> - ADPRECLONE.PL DBTIER FAILS WITH SYNTAX ERROR

 

The cause of this issue is because adpreclone.pl has a code issue on version 11.5.49 and must be

fixed.

 

The following code from adpreclone.pl 115.49 is wrong and must be fixed:

------------------------------------

print "/t$syscmd/n";

$resultclone = system "$syscmd";

# added for bug #<4448838>

if($resultclone ! = 0 )

------------------------------------
