    How large is your database? How much downtime do you have to move the database? Are you using RAC, Replication, Standby server? Are you going to move the data, conduct stress test on the new database, and then move the data again to go live?

    My database size is 150 gigs, used only for reporting purposes so downtime is acceptable (on weekends is ok), Not on rac or replication OR Standby .Only one instance which is up and running 24hrs.

    One procedure to go ahead , I dont even know how to approach this.

    Check out the Utilities documentation for all the details on export/import

    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs...a96652/toc.htm

    Very high level process would be something like:

    Create empty DB on target OS
    Full, consistent export of source database
    Copy export file to target OS
    Do full import on target OS

    There are a few different ways to handle the "create empty DB" bit so this discussion might help you:

    export/import is may be the way to do it

    logical standby can be an option as well

    I would not use replication, setting replication for hundreds of tables can be tedious

    the other option, probaly not considered by you but can be fun is, upgrade to 10gR2 and transport all the tablespaces

    Is it not possible to put all the tablespaces in begin backup and copy all the files from solaris to aix... and apply the archives?

    Or since down time is acceptable in the weekend... a cold backup of the source database... and use the files to create aix db? ... would these files be still valid across plat forms?

    and what about RMAN backed up files?
