DB Version : 10.1

We are going across platform, different endianness.

1. We cannot use CONVERT Database as it is supported only across same platform.

2. We are planning to use CONVERT Datafile, without transportable tablespace.

3. Any idea on how much time it would take to copy a 10g File ?


When there is a endian difference, could you please provide a high level successful methodology to use.

We are planning to do an OS cold backup, subsequent restore of the entire database on Target, run convert datafile and synchronizing the data from there on. BTw, we are going from Big to Little Endian.

Can any one provide a estimate on how much time it would take to convert a 10 Gig datafile?

Also once datafile is converted and brought up, can we apply the archivelog’s I am thinking no, but wanted to know your opinion.
