Symptoms

---

The date stamps and user in the activity stream are different for the instances.

The activity stream shows only one user made updates.

All

Cause

---

While you are cloning the instance, if you Exclude Audit and Log Data, the audit data will not be carried in to the destination instance. So you will find a difference between the date stamps and the users in the activity log different in both the instances. This is the expected OOB behavior.

Resolution

---

Recloning the instance and make sure to include the audit data and the log data. 

Note: Clones will read exclude/preserver lists from the source instance during the early stage of the clone. If updates are made to the exclusion/preserver list before clone, the clone will honor it even if the clone does not take on-demand backup.

By default, the [sys_audit] and [syslog] tables are in the Clone Exclude Tables list.

1. Log into the clone source instance
2. Go to System Clone > Clone Exclude Tables
3. Filter by name for sys_audit and syslog
4. Export each of these records to XML
- This is to save a local copy, which you can re-import into the clone source instance, after the clone is completed
5. When submitting the clone request, Uncheck the option to Exclude audit and log data
- Now the clone will include audit and log data
