Use the Clone Oracle Home application to clone an Oracle home to one or more destination hosts.
After you have identified an Oracle home in a known state (for example, you have chosen certain install options, applied required patches, and tested it), you may want to clone that Oracle home to one or more hosts.
Note: The Clone Oracle Home application displays Oracle homes of only those products that have a clonable home.
See About Cloning for more information.
