the normal steps or any other additional steps
i've to follow due to this version difference?
If anyone has any idea,please let me know.

Not sure, but I belive you should run catpatch.sql for 9.2.0.8 after the files copy

and the software needs to be at 9.2.0.8 as well

Thanks Dave & Bore,

Dave,I couldn't get u.Can u please explain it briefly?

Dave, he said it is 9.0.8. He takes files from 9.2.0.6 and moves to a machine where 9.2.0.8 is installed
Right?

BTW if you try to take the files from 9.2.0.8 and move them to 9.2.0.6 software, I guess it will not work.
And one more thing, why don't you upgrade your 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8? That will simplify the task with practically no cons.
