The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from. Furthermore, if you do not like any of them, you can just wait for next year's model. -- Andrew S. Tanenbaum in Computer Networks, 2nd Edition

Original Message ----------------------------------- We are considering migration of an Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.8 from HP-UX 11.0 to Solaris9.

I'd like to know if anyone has done this and how daunting the task is.

Are there any 3rd Party tools which can help out?

Coming to the conventional approaches:

What do you think of Export/Import of a 200 GB database? 1a. How much time will it take? 1b. Any strategies for cutting that down?
How does CTAS over dblink compare to Export/Import?
Is there any tool that converts Oracle datafiles on HP-UX 11.0 to Oracle datafiles on Solaris 9. If so we would just need to recreate the control files on the target database and we are done.

Any suggestions, pointers, words of wisdom are greatly appreciated...

Thanks & Regards,
Sashi
