Oracle Database 19c: [INFO] [INS-32183] Use of clone.pl is deprecated in this release.

I was trying to clone oracle 19c ORACLE_HOME binaries from one server to another server.  Though it says deprecated, clone.pl worked end of the day.

Source the Environment on Target Host:

export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export ORACLE_BASE=/ora/db/ORCL
export ORACLE_HOME=/ora/db/19.0.0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:.

Run Clone Script:

$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
$ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl \
ORACLE_BASE=$ORACLE_BASE \
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME \
OSDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
OSOPER_GROUP=oinstall \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME=ORCL_HOME

Command Line output for clone script:

[oracle@mydbserver ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
> $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl \
> ORACLE_BASE=$ORACLE_BASE \
> ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME \
> OSDBA_GROUP=oinstall \
> OSOPER_GROUP=oinstall \
> ORACLE_HOME_NAME=ORCL_HOME


[INFO] [INS-32183] Use of clone.pl is deprecated in this release. Clone operation is equivalent to performing a Software Only installation from the image.
You must use /ora/db/19.0.0/runInstaller script available to perform the Software Only install. For more details on image based installation, refer to help documentation.
