Greetings, One of my databases is Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 SE running on 32-bit RHEL4. I am building a new server running 64-bit RHEL4 and I will install Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 EE on this server. My goal is to move the existing database to the new server. I am hoping to do this using the cloning feature of the OEM provisioning pack and wondering if this will work smoothly. The concerns I have are 1) going from 32-bit to 64-bit 2) going from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 3) going from SE to EE I am pretty certain this isn't going to work, I don't believe OEM and RMAN have the intelligence built in to make the changes and I suspect I will have to use expdp/impdp but am just wondering if anyone has any further thoughts. Unfortunately I don't have an environment in which to test this. Thanks.
