Exp/imp of a 200GB database is possible, but I'd think the time required would be the
long pole in the tent. I'd say your looking at at least a 4 day weekend at best and
only if you used direct mode. Someone has hinted that you can simply move the
datafiles from one box to the other. Well
You may want to review an article, Cross Platform Migration of a Large Production
Database, in
the latest issue(2nd Qtr 2003) of SELECT journal (by IOUG).
The author details the procedure he followed to migrtate a 300GB production database
from HP-UX to
IBM AIX.

Aah !Hint, hint that some certain RDBMS vendor will offer cross-platform
compatibility of database files soon.

Back when one of our system swas at around 200M, we had a C program
that dumped table data in parallel by rowid ranges, wrote the streams

Direct mode doesn't work across platforms [or, at least, I haven't tried
it]. It isn't supported.
SQLLDR, Parallel Export-Import, Parallel Index Build are options -- these
can be done
in parallel. Run at least two rounds of testing to see how you can migrate
the data.

Wondering out aloud here. Could you export/imp using
pipes. I remember doing this on a 200gb database
going from 7.3 to 8 on Solaris, granted on the same
server. Took about 4-6 hours if I remember correctly.
Anyway to create a remote pipe on another server to
listen for inputs from another

Hi all:
We are considering migration of an Oracle eBusiness Suite 11.5.8 from
HP-UX 11.0 to Solaris9.
I'd like to know if anyone has done this and how daunting the task is.
Are there any 3rd Party tools which can help out?
Coming to the conventional approaches:

can just move the HP data files to the Sun server and recreate the data
files. Both data files are in same endianness and they are cross
platform compatible.
There is no tool to convert a datafile from one OS format

I'm looking to move a large database from HP/Compaq/DEC Alpha to Sun. Any
possibility the datafiles might be compatible?

This was discussed quite a bit on this list 5/14, the subject was
quickest method. The consensus seemed to be that:
1. SQL*Loader in direct path mode is the
Why don't you try it? Create a small database on Alpha, rcp it to
HP and see what happens.
