Quick Question: Duplicate database command’s another benefit

Came across one good note [1079563.1] on mixed platforms backup/restore/recovery things.  This is especially beneficial than long process of export/import or transport tablespaces. you Just fire the duplicate database and then done.

The note say’s

Mixed platforms are supported for the following types of backups:-

+ Active Database DUPLICATE
+ Backup-based DUPLICATE using image copies or backup sets
+ RESTORE and RECOVER using image copies or backup sets

But only the following types of platforms

For Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and above releases:

Solaris x86-64 <-> Linux x86-64

HP-PA <-> HP-IA

Windows IA (64-bit) / Windows (64-bit Itanium) <-> Windows 64-bit for AMD / Windows (x86-64)

For Oracle Database 11g Release 1 and above releases (requires minimum 11.1 compatible setting):

Linux <-> Windows

For Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) and above releases:

Solaris SPARC (64-bit) <-> AIX (64-bit) - Note: this platform combination is currently not supported due to Bug 12702521

So go on, when some body ask you, that I have a oracle database on windows, which I want to create the database on linux, you can do it with rman backups or duplicate database command above rather export/import or the transport tablespace.

 

-Thanks
