when we moved from hpux to linux we did an export/import of the database. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich Smrcina Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Slightly OT: Converting Oracle databases to run on Linux for System z
I have a customer that is working through a POC of Oracle on Linux for System z. They are coming from Sparc/Solaris. The database won't restore directly due to platform differences. Oracle indicates that the process requires the RMAN utility to 'convert' the database for restore on Linux. Are there other shops that have had to do this? Is this the only way? For some reason, this customer is afraid of RMAN. Thanks. -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.
