In the Weblogic Console, Edit session is enabled in domain.  Hence, adpreclone.pl is unable to complete successfully.

Workaround:- 

Execute the following steps to fix the issue:

1) Login to the WLS Console

2) Review the "Change Center" and click the "Release Configuration"

3) You should see the domain in "Lock & Edit" mode.

4) Re-run adpreclone on the Applications Tier.
