Re: Move of a database from Solaris to AIX server

Hi Anurag

This is called "Platform Migration"

High level overview

The source database needs to be the same version as the target If the Endian is the same for each platform then you useTTS If the Endian is different, you need RMAN to convert the datafiles along with TTS
NFS mounts of the target are a big help and could be quicker (& more logical) than FTP

On and enterprise system this isnt trivial undertaking. You will have to estimate the outage needed by doing benchmarks before the actual migration.

Then you need to think about any application code, utl_file directories etc

Here is someone elses overview - with options

But thats it in the nutshell
