Server A ? Oracle 10g ASM noarchivelog Server B ? Oracle 10g ASM noarchivelog I?m looking at using transportable tablespace (tts) between server a and server b. Both are using asm. Looking over the docs, it looks like I can use rman, ftp using the virtual folder /sys/asm or dbms_file_transfer. I?m thinking that my biggest hassle here is plugging the datafiles back into asm on server b. Here?s what I think the options are 1. RMAN ? need to do recovery in order to plug into asm, not sure if recovery needed for just a copy from asm to the file system 2. ftp via /sys/asm ? not sure but I think I should be able to copy from /sys/asm on server a to /sys/asm on server b 3. dbms_file_transfer ? should be able to copy from asm on server a to file system on server b. would need recovery (rman) if plugging into asm I?ve looked in the docs and online and don?t see any pure asm examples. I also don?t have an asm dev system that I can play with. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks Mike
