Oracle APPS R12 cloning issue

Introduction: Having successfully cloned the db Tier, when we tried to clone the APPS Tier, it gave the following errors. Uploading Metadata file /APPS/TST/apps/apps_st/appl/ad/12.0.0/admin/template/adctxinf.tmp Metadata file /APPS/TST/apps/apps_st/appl/ad/12.0.0/admin/template/adctxinf.tmp upload failed. Check log file created by FNDCPUCF program. ERRORCODE = 137 ERRORCODE_END .end std out. ld.so.1: FNDCPUCF: fatal: /APPS/TST/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Killed ld.so.1: FNDCPUCF: fatal: /APPS/TST/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Killed CookBook: When we checked the logs and error messages , we came to know that os user of the apps tier i.e. appltst doesnt have the permissions on the oraInventory location. Having made a new directory of oraInventory when we again ran the "perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier" it was all successful.
