Cannot find HOME_COUNTER under SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES

Problem: I built a new Windows 2003 environment and restored a backup of E-Business Suite 11i. However, instead of going through the post-clone process, I attempted to change the hostname using the MOS document “How to change hostname for E-Business Suite Release 12 on single node” (Doc ID 1277556.1). However, when running AutoConfig on the apps tier, the following error occurred:

D:\ORACLE\MFGP\mfgpappl\admin>ECHO OFF
Cannot find HOME_COUNTER under SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES.
Error when running adgenhomenum.exe d:\oracle\MFGP\mfgpora\8.0.6
ERROR: Running d:\oracle\MFGP\mfgpappl\ad\11.5.0\bin\adgethnum.cmd failed
D:\ORACLE\MFGP\mfgpappl\admin>ECHO OFF

Solution:

Create HOME_COUNTER string key in registry under SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES and set to 1.

Error Encountered

When AutoConfig was rerun, it completed with errors.

Solution:

Run the AutoConfig/adconfig.cmd command twice on apps tier! (Verified!)
