When migrating from version 6 to version 7 I found a utility in the version 7 installation, however the utility would migrate the entire version 6 database included all users and then remove the version 6 database from the system.
Another way would be to created a database link between version 6 and version 7 and used create table as select * to recreate all of the tables.
Another way would be to try to import a version 6 export, however some research will need to be done because long field will not come in correctly. I found that I had to look into change the language set that is used when importing.
In hind site the easiest way was to create a database link and bring the tables over one by one or create a sqlplus script. With version 7 the distributed database option was unbundled so if it was not purchased it will not be available.
Let me know what happened.
