Hello everyone,
I'm planning a migration of an Oracle 19c Enterprise Edition database from an x86 infrastructure where the data is in little-endian format to an IBM Power10 system where the data is in big-endian format.
Given the complexity of this endian format conversion, the critical nature and the huge size of the database, I'm seeking advice on the best methods or tools that you would recommend for this migration. Specifically, I'd like to know:
- What are the most reliable and efficient methods for handling endian conversion during the migration?
- Are there any tools or scripts that you have found particularly helpful in this process?
- What potential pitfalls should I be aware of, and how can I mitigate them?
- Any general tips or best practices for this type of migration?
Thanks in advance for your insights and recommendations!
