convert datafile windows 32 bits on linux 64 bits

Thanks, I have no space on windows server.
Can I stop the db on windows and copy the datafile on linux and then :
# Conversion on a Linux destination host from a Solaris source file.
CONVERT DATAFILE=
    '/tmp/transport_win/my_ts_file01.dbf',
    '/tmp/transport_win/my_ts_file02.dbf'
  FROM PLATFORM 'Windows (32-bit)'
  DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT
    '/tmp/transport_win','/u01/oradata/MYDB';

Thanks

Never tried this but the doc link I provided seems to imply you can.

From the docs in step 4:
If you have transported the tablespace set to a platform with different endianness from the source platform, and you have not performed a source-side conversion to the endianness of the target platform, you should perform a target-side conversion now.

the endianness are the same. So can I copy only the datafiles?

Thanks

I've never done it.  Not sure.  I have to go by what the docs say.

Do you not have a test system where you can try it and see?

Yes, but the db size is 600go

OK then, do you have a development system?

Just a small database you can experiment with? This is the only way to know for sure it will work.

no sorry

You will have to 'test' it sooner or later.  Nothing posted on a site like this should be taken as 100% accurate 100% of the time.  What works for one shop, might not work for another.

The docs seem to say it is possible.  Not sure what else to tell you.

Maybe another Expert will be along that has actually done this in an environment that matches yours.  Even then, if they say, sure you can do it.   Then what?  It still might fail for you.

You must have the ability to test things before you try them in production.

Thanks bibi
