A few months ago I migrated a 32 bit 9.2 database to 10.2.0.2 on a 64 bit
server,
all at once.
RMAN was not used.
This was an SAP database, and a custom version of the dbua was employed.
No, I don't know what was different about this dbua. :)
The point is that the procedure can be done, but I can't tell you if
OEM/RMAN is capable of doing this.
Further thoughts:
You absolutely need an environment to test this in.
There are too many moving parts to try this and expect it to work in
production.
There is a document on ML detailing 32bit -> 64bit conversions.
