administrator chooses to delete the clone if the post-clone script fails, the event is logged as an error.
n
If a clone administrator attempts the clone operation and chooses to allow the clone operation to finish if
the post-clone script fails, the event is logged as a warning.
The event contains information about the operation that failed and the user who attempted the clone operation.
Users with the View and Monitor privilege on the source database can view the event.
