Using Oracle8 & 7 on NT 4.0. This is applicable to Unix
It is possible if the directory structures are going to be identical. for exapmle, if you set up the database physical files (datafiles, logs,control,) in
orant\database\development, then you can copy this directory to another server.
You must PRESERVE the directory sturcture.
here are tge steps.
after installing oracle sofware on another machine, copy
orant\database\development folder
to the new machine. Also copy orant\net80\ folder to the new machine.
Then, use oradim80 or oradim73 to create new instance which matches the
name of the SID in the old machine.
The oradimxx utility makes the necessary entries in the registry as well as
create the services in the control panel.
after that, you are ready to go.
hope that helps
NOTE: oradimxx is applicable to NT
