Singh - You may also want to take a look at cloning your database. This essentially the first step to creating a standby database, but doesn't necessarily mean going as far as loading the redo logs. Whether this will suffice for your purposes will depend on how long you will have to switch over. If you must have the system unavailable for just a few minutes, then the standby database may be your only alternative, and I believe that you are receiving good advice.

        However, if you have a window of a few hours, then cloning may be good enough. As far as the different OS mount points, the cloning techniques handle that. I'm guessing that if you are within Oracle certification, patch levels of the OS won't matter. To get more information on cloning a database, go to http://www.orafaq.com and search on "cloning".

The OS patchs are diffrent and OS mount points are diffrent.I have one questions as per stand by Database creation the following things are required
-copy of datafiles,standby controlfile,parameter files and archived logs from primary.
Then it is necessary to have either cold or hotbackup of datafiles.Ultimate my focus is to save time migration.Let me suggest please. Thanks
