Could you point me where is it stated, that crossplatform TTS isn't supported without ASM? This command is issued on a database which uses datafiles only on regular filesystem: RMAN> convert tablespace users to platform 'Solaris[tm] OE (64-bit)' format 'C:\temp\TS%U'; Starting backup at 03.02.2004 using channel ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile conversion input datafile fno=00005 name=C:\ORACLE\ORA10G\OG\USERS01.DBF converted datafile=C:\TEMP\TSDATA_D-OG_I-3166553244_TS-USERS_FNO-5_01FD4V6D channel ORA_DISK_1: datafile conversion complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01 Finished backup at 03.02.2004 At least generating the tablespace for another platform works. I haven't tried to plug the resulting TS in to Oracle on another platform, but this should be normal TTS plug-in procedure anyway...
