migration

Hi guru's,

Can someone guide me how to do the migration from oracle7.3.1 to 8.1.7.

I have all full cold backup of Oracle731 database.

Now i want to migrate it to Oracle817.

What i did is:

1. i created a new service using oradim command,
2. Modified init.ora file accordingly and restored all database files in appropriate directory folders.
3. While i'm tring to migrate it with migrate assitant after 15 mintes it will hangup.....

Any one have best soltion to do this task?....

Is any manual steps are there to migrate a database as like creating database with step by step?.

Thanks in adv.

Rgds,
Nirmal.
