Ken, I have no knowledge of Retek, but it seems to me that if your friend has access to a Retek database those questions could be answered. TT has a the dbms_tts.transport_set_check that you can run as a preliminary check. Whether the vendor stores objects in the system tablespace is tougher, but you probably check ownership of the objects in the system tablespace as a start. Hope this helps, Dennis Williams On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 8:36 PM, Kenneth Naim <kennethnaim@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > A friend of mine is interested in migrating a 10g Retek 1.5tb database > across platforms that involves and endian change.
