I doubt that there's anything that gets 'ported from DB2 to Oracle'.

But there is a perfectly good utility to move the contents of an Oracle database from one machine/operating system to another, using an OS-agnostic binary file. Surprisingly enough, it is called exp and imp.

Of course, if you have exactly the same OS and filesystem, you can just copy the files.
