Good Morning,

I've got a requirement to move about 300GB of table and index data from the
current tablespaces into new tablespaces.  There is a physical standby in
place.  The standby is located in another city.  The database is 7TB in
size.  I am running Oracle 10.2.0.4 on AIX 6.1.

The standby is currently mounted with the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT
initialization parameter is set to AUTO.  We are not using ASM.

I'd like to get a sanity check on the plan I've put together.

Stop the application
Create the new tablespaces and datafiles --> this should propagate to the
standby
Get table and index DDL using dbms_metadata.get_ddl
Export tables using datapump
Drop tables and indexes --> this should propagate to the standby
Edit DDL to recreate tables and indexes in new tablespaces
Run create scripts --> this should propagate to the standby
Import tables using datapump --> this should propagate to the standby

All tables will remain in the same schema.

Comments appreciated.
