No, the file headers are different between the 2 platforms. Your best bet would be to export from the old and import into the new.

good luck

No, you can not do that. File systems are different.

Cloning database on different platform could be done either by export/import or RMAN cloning. Check the RMAN docs for more details.

Hope that helps,

The 9i RMAN manuals say this is NOT possible.

Unless I'm missing something....
