Which 'cloning' method are you talking about.
If you are talking about using RMAN/COLD Copy backup methods then NO. Those files are OS dependent.
Any transfer between different OS is facilitated only by
1. Sql means (materilized views/dblinks etc)
2. Export / import.

same response again.
If this a one time operation, with not-so-large database , export /import is the way.
Else
If 'synchronizing' the data is done frequently, and database is large,use materialized views.
CLONE is a complete duplicate done in OS/Database level.
Since the datafiles and RMAN backupsets are proprietory to the Operating system, you cannot use RMAN duplication or good old cold copy methods.

hi,

Thanks maheshji ,,, i got the answer.... in the case that i told u only export import is doen to clone ..

but if both the o/s are same then i can directly copy the datafile of database from one server to another for clone database ... no need for export import Smile

just we have to create pfile and controlfile and logfile

thanks
Always friend sunilkumar
