Looking into how to do this. The 8.0.5 database is on NT. The 8.1.7 is on Windows2000.
I thought I could: - shut down database on 8.0.5 (on NT) - copy datafiles to windows 2000 server. - start 8.1.7 service on windows2000 server - run cat08005.sql scripts on windows2000 server - finish other tasks This way I could move the database and upgrade in 1 step. Oracle is saying I cannot do it this way. They are stating I must Migrate the Database from 805 to 817 on a Supported Platform and THEN move the database from one machine to another. To do this, I will then have to install 8.1.7 on my current production server (NT), do the upgrade and then move the database to the new windows2000 server. Is there a better way? Thanks in advance.
