If you own enough GoldenGate core licenses for source and target, then it is fairly straight forward as in the end it is really only data movement. If you don’t own the licenses then it is a spendy proposition.

You can also mix and match the different movement methodologies to port from AIX to Linux.

I ported a 50TB database 2 years ago AIX to Linux with Materialized Views and expdp/imdp for certain of the tables across a single weekend ($0 cost for any extra technology Golden Gate or Delphix).


Hi Matt,
While I do agree that your method is cheaper, it does require considerable downtime. If that is not an option, some kind of replication technology like Golden Gate can help. Of course, there will an extra cost for that.
