Our Solution

Buxton developed a custom solution that used transportable tablespace along with RMAN tools to migrate the Database and Application from Solaris platform to Linux. Buxton was the first company to implement this solution to migrate a very large EBS Database. Oracle now uses this process as a standard process for Platform Migration.
