Convert Files Using RMAN

Use the Export utility to create the file of metadata information. If you have not already, move the metadata information file from its location and the converted datafiles from /tmp/oracle/transport_linux/ to their respective target directories on the destination host, then plug the tablespace(s) into the new database with the Import utility.

Example: Converting Tablespaces on the Target Platform

Suppose you need to transport tablespaces research (datafiles ‘/oracle/oradata/rec/rec01.dbf' and ‘/oracle/oradata/rec/rec02.dbf') and pl (datafiles ‘/oracle/oradata/pl/proj01.dbf' and ‘/oracle/oradata/pl/proj02.dbf') from a source database running on a Sun Solaris host to a destination database running on an Linux PC host. You plan to perform conversion on the target host. You will temporarily store the unconverted datafiles in the directory /tmp/oracle/transport_solaris/ on the target host. When the datafiles are plugged into Oracle, they will be stored in /oradata/oracle/rec/.

The example assumes that the following steps have been carried out in preparation for the tablespace transport:

The source tablespaces to be transported are set to be read-only, the Export utility has been used to create the metadata information file (named, in our example, research.dchmp), the research.dmp and the unconverted tablespace datafiles to be transported have been gathered and copied to the destination host, to the '/tmp/oracle/transport_solaris/' directory.

The subdirectory structure from the files original location has been preserved, that is, the datafiles are stored as:

/tmp/oracle/transport_solaris/rec/research01.dbf
/tmp/oracle/transport_solaris/rec/research02.dbf
/tmp/oracle/transport_solaris/pl/proj01.dbf
/tmp/oracle/transport_solarisr/pl/proj02.dbf
