Pablo - Usually you create the standby database by copying all the data files from the production system. Then it is an identical system, so you can apply the archive logs from production. With different systems, you couldn't copy the data files. I'm not even sure you could move the archive logs over and use them. I think you are blocked on this idea unless someone that has actually done this can explain how they accomplished it. Dennis Williams

I've read that Oracle does not advise (or may be support) to have a standby database on a plataform different to the original one.

I have a database on Solaris and I'd like to create a standby for this db over HP.

Can that be done? I KNOW IT'S NOT SUPPORTED. All I want to know is if anyone has tested it.

TIA
