Reason:- The error is observed because Zip Version other zip version is installed in whereas adpreclone.pl is expecting ZIP version 2.3.
[orapay@ccuine105 ~]$ zip -v
Copyright (c) 1990-2008 Info-ZIP – Type ‘zip “-L”‘ for software license.
This is Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008), by Info-ZIP.
So the above output shows our server has zip version 3 installed. And adpreclone is looking for ver 2.3
Solution:-
Solution 1: Stay with zip 2.3
1.1 download zip 2.3 from http://www.info-zip.org/
1.2 unzip this file to a directory
1.3 Add this directory in the PATH variable (now ‘which zip’ should give this location).
Please make sure you have zip version 2.3 in your PATH
1.4 Re-run adpreclone.pl
Solution 2 : Use zip 3.0
2.1 Take a backup of you environment
2.2 Review readme of Patch : 9171651 and apply all pre-requisites
2.3 Apply patch Patch : 9171651 R12 RAPIDCLONE CONSOLIDATED FIXES JUL/2010
2.4 Retry the adpreclone.pl
Solution 3: Copy Zip from appstier
3.1 scp or copy zip v2.3 from the apps tier’s location $ORACLE_HOME/bin,
to /usr/bin location.
3.2Make sure to take a backup of original zip in /usr/zip. And then retry adpreclone. It should work.
Once done revert back to original zip version
