In this section, we will discuss how to migrate an existing database from one OS platform to another (i.e.: Windows to Solaris).

We can migrate database across OS platform as part of an Oracle version upgrade (oracle 8i ….oracle 11g) or within the same oracle version (oracle 10.2.0 to 10.2.0)
We can not use Migration utility (DBUA) or Scripts to perform a cross platform migration.

We can only Re-build database instance and data moved using one of the following methods:

·Export / Import.
·Transportable Tablespaces 10G or Later
·RMAN Convert Database functions. 10G or Later
