Hello, I developed my own method based on MOS note and Martin post. http://oracleprof.blogspot.ie/2014/08/crossplatform-transportable-tablespaces.html Basically I was using a existing data file backup to start conversion process and then end up with TTS export/import. If you want to clone production and then migrate clone DB into Linux - Delphix has a solution which can help you save time and resources there. http://blog.delphix.com/kyle/2014/delphix-unix-linux-oracle-conversion/ regards, Marcin On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 8:24 AM, Martin Bach <development@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Max, > > +1 on the previous post.
