How do I recover the Applications context file if it is lost or deleted accidentally?

The Applications context file can be retrieved by running the adclonectx.pl script.

To retrieve the applications tier context file,

• Execute the following command on the applications tier. 

perl <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin/adclonectx.pl retrieve

• On being prompted for the context file to be retrieved, select the option of retrieving the applications tier context file that has been lost and retrieve it to the default location specified by the script.

The above command can be used only when the <INST_TOP> is still intact. In case the <INST_TOP> has also been lost accidentally, the applications tier context file may be retrieved as follows:

• Execute the following command on the database tier:

perl <ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/clone/bin/adclonectx.pl retrieve

• On being prompted for the context file to be retrieved, select the option of retrieving the applications tier context file that has been lost.
• While confirming the location for the context file, set it to any existing directory with write permission.
• Once the context file has been generated in the specified location, move it to the location specified for the context file in the context variable 's_contextfile'.

To retrieve the database tier context file,

• Execute the following command on the database tier:

perl <ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/clone/bin/adclonectx.pl retrieve

• On being prompted for the context file to be retrieved, select the database tier context file and retrieve it to the default location specified by the script.
