Plan B: Renovate old Apps Server Hardware

Overview:

I had a situation to renovate the hardware of very old server and we do not have idea about some of the application running, It may be fresh installation of application can create performance issue and also we are facing the complexity of same patched version oracle binaries. I planned to restore the whole system through the system restore policy and restore and recover the database with the RMAN cold backup and after performance tuning and testing the different aspect of oracle will provide the same IP configuration to the new server.

Scenario:

We want to Restore & Recovery of SADHAN on DBSERVER1, while original database server DBSERVER is completely offline. In my case the O/S is Windows

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8
