I have a database that has to be converted from US7ASCII to AL32UTF8 before the application can be upgraded. I tried using the CSSCAN tool and it told me that I can't do it that way because data would be lost. I'm trying to figure out how to run the dmu tool, but the instructions that I have from the vendor are all for Windows servers and we run in Red Hat 6, so it isn't working. The database version is 11.2.0.3. Has anyone fought through this (as it appears to not be a simple task)? If so, can you give me some pointers on how to make it work? Or is there a simpler way to do this?
