SAP Note 1035051 - Transportable tablespaces

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1035051 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note highlights a functionality enhancement with Oracle 10g supporting "Cross-Platform Transportable Tablespaces." This allows for a more efficient and rapid data migration across different Oracle database platforms, aiding in applications or database cloning. Techniques such as export/import, R3load, and DB-Link are augmented by transporting tablespaces directly, involving metadata export/import and operating-system-level data copying (using tools like ftp, scp, rcp, tar). It simplifies handling the exchange of data files between systems with identical "os byte order." Pre-requisites include the independence of tablespaces and identical endianness of source and target systems to avoid data conversion tasks. The note outlines procedural steps and system checks (e.g., using sys.dbms_tts.transport_set_check) to validate transportability and highlight potential errors in the transfer process.
