RC-10203: The template provided does not match with the context file

We recently faced the following issue in one of our instances while running adclonectx.pl to clone the xml file:


AC-10006: Exception - java.io.FileNotFoundException: /appl_top/ad/11.5.0/admin/template/adxmlctx.tmp thrown while creating OAVars object for file:
../admin/template/adxmlctx.tmpRC-50004: Error occurred in CloneContext: RC-10203: The template provided does not match with the context file.Check logfile /apps/sdev/appl_top/admin/sdev/out/CloneContext_11190814.log for details.ERROR: context creation not completed successfully.Please check /tmp/adclonectx.err file for errors.

The adclonectx.pl script was not picking up the correct $AD_TOP path which is why it was throwing this error. To fix this issue, I used the following command:
perl adclonectx.pl sharedappltop contextfile=/apps/sdev/sdev.xml template=/apps/sdev/appl_top/ad/11.5.0/admin/template/adxmlctx.tmp
pairsfile=/apps/sdev/pre_Autoconfig/pairsfile_sdev.txt

Pass the template parameter as part of the adclonectx.pl script to provide the full path of the adxmlctx.tmp, which is the template referred here.


Subsequently, the command ran without any issues:
/apps/sdev/appl_top/ad/11.5.0/bin > perl adclonectx.pl sharedappltop contextfile=/apps/sdev/sdev.xml template=/apps/sdev/appl_top/ad/11.5.0/admin/template/adxmlctx.tmp
