title: Transporting database from one platform to another platform in oracle database
body: <h1>Source Database Details:</h1>
  
  <p>Plat form : Windows 64 bit,
  Database software version: 11.2.0.1</p>
  
  <h1>Target Database details:</h1>
  
  <p>Plat form :Linux 32 bit,
  Database Software Version: 11.2.0.3</p>
  
  <p>My doubt is can we transfer entire database from windows o/s to Linux o/s or reverse by using RMAN transport tablespace concept? </p>
  
  <p>or Is there any need to upgrade source database from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3 for successfully transport database ?</p>
