Andrew,
You can do the migration for AIX to Linux x86-64 using GoldenGate without any
issues. Just make sure you get the correct binaries from edelievery (set for
AIX and set for linux). If you are migrating from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.3, you
have to use classic capture and apply processes. The instantiation process
would use data pump on both sides. Also good to run the profiler to make sure
you have not unsupported data types (DOC ID: 1298562.1)
You should be able to run it from a physical stand-by; however, I have always
ran mine from source to target for migrations and then reconfigured the DG
standby after the migration was done.

Has any one been through this process? Or can they point me to some
documentation for the process? I think I have the basic steps in mind, but
this will be my first implementation with Golden Gate, so right now I dont
even know what I dont know about this process.
