Next month, I've to move the DB from Sparc to Linux RHEL 5. The original DB is single on Sparc, the future will be RAC. However, in the Sparc Server, storage is full now, no backup, only archivelog.

$ df -h

Someway I think about when I move this DB. And, wish you help me to choose the best way:

1- Original export (client - server), using another server contains the dumpfile. Example: Sparc -> export on Windows --> import on Linux.

2- Try to delete something on Sparc server, export one-by-one schema using DpDump, and import into Linux.

I can not using Transport tablespace, because of full storage!
Thank you very much!

some/many/most systems these days have USB port/plug on them.
I can buy a 1TB external USB interface disk for around $125 US Dollar.
This opens up a number of alternative configurations & solutions; including sneaker net, NFS & others.

If the systems have different ENDIAN (Big vs. Little), this needs to be resolved.
If the systems have different architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit), this needs to be resolved.

Yes!

The source DB is Sparc, and the target DB is RHEL 5 - HP, x86_64.

I think this is different Endian between them. So, I'm afraid about the header file, said you above, make me remember one experience when I convert the datafile using transportable from Sparc to HP Unix (Solaris_10 vs BE-10). One bug on HP (I am sorry, I did not resolve this problem, the HP's technician did) when I copied the datafile to, it's almost done when ftp, but, at the end of process, the BE OS put the error's log by Smitty manager on the window, showed me some thing about header of file.

So, in my case, assume I'm using dpdump (or rman backup) in external drive, that - the job finish on Sparc, then I bring it (external drive), plug in HP (RHEL 5), will the RHEL 5 (x64) can read the dumpfile (or backup file) normally?

Thank you!

expdp/impdp dump files are OS, architecture, & ENDIAN independent.
The only restriction involving expdp & impdp is that the lowest version of expdp must be used to create the dump file.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand your answer at all. May you clarify more?

Thank you!

The different systems can have different Oracle versions; even out to 4 decimal places.
The only restriction involving expdp & impdp is that the lowest Oracle version of expdp must be used to create the dump file.
If one system has V10.2.0.1 & the other system has V10.2.0.4; then V10.2.0.1 expdp must be used to produce dump file.
