If you are referring to the DUPLICATE command, yes it may
duplicate a database to another platform.
From the fine user manual, under the DUPLICATE command
in the RMAN reference manual:
"If you can make an operating system copy of a database file on one platform
and then restore it to another platform, then it is also possible to
duplicate a
database from one platform to another. Otherwise, duplication is not
possible."

Hello,
I heard about the TARGET parameter given in RMAN which enables to
transport backups from one platform to another, which has the same ENDian.
Is not that correct?

Derya.
