Dear All,

My old server config:
ORACLE_HOME in c:\oracle
Datafiles + Control files + Redo Logs + Init file in c:\oradata
Oracle 9.2.0.8 - Enterprise
Windows Server 2003


My new server config:ORACLE_HOME in c:\oracle\app
Oracle 9.2.0.8 - Enterprise
Windows Server 2003


If I make an offline backup on my old server and copy the Datafiles + Control files + Redo Logs + Init file to the new server in c:\oradata.

Will I be able to start the database on the new server.


Thank you,

Yes. You'll just have to create a Windows service with oradim for the Oracle database prior to starting the database.

you mean to say that the path of the software installation is not a problem?
just copy the file to the new server, use oradim then startup the DB

The path of Oracle home does not matter, the path of the db files does.
If you have not the same path for them, you then have to startup in mount mode and change each location with alter database statement, or rman same command if your backup was made by rman.

The only thing you need to be concerned of with the new ORACLE_HOME is to have a spfile in %ORACLE_HOME%\database directory or specify the PFILE location when you use oradim.

in the old server the spfile is in c:\oradata

and i shall copy the spfile in c:\oradata in the new server

so this should not cause any harm?

You should create your Windows Oracle Serive specifying the PFILE and where it is located. In the PFILE should be a pointer to the SPFILE in c:\oradata.

Check the contents of your old PFILE and verify it simply had a pointer to the SPFILE.
