Solution

Before running the perl utility on the adcfgclone.pl script set the KSH_VERSION. The following is applicable to the Linux Red Hat 5 platform 

1. Check pdksh rpm is applied to the system

$ [root@test ~]# rpm -qa pdksh*
pdksh-5.2.14-36.el5

2. And run below export command to set the version

$ export KSH_VERSION='@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2'

Repeat the 'perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier' and it should now run successfully.

Permanent fix

Apply Patch 5972212 "ADCHKUTL.SH FAILS IN SLES 10 DUE TO PDKSH REQUIREMENT" for 11i or R12 which will bring the correct version of adchkutl.sh 115.6 which no longer checks for pdksh
