Goal of this article is to help perform cross platform database migration between two operating system platforms belonging to the same endian format using 12c Cross-Platform Database Transport with rman backup sets.
For certain cross platform migration, direct restore and recovery from Rman backupset is possible. For these platforms, you can directly perform RMAN duplication (active or backup-based) or RMAN restore/recover without any conversion. Please refer the below document for information about the same:
<Note 1079563.1> RMAN DUPLICATE/RESTORE/RECOVER Mixed Platform Support
The goal of this document is to explain cross platform database migration between Solaris Operating System (x86-64) and Microsoft Windows x86 64-bit which is not covered under mixed platform support document 1079563.1.

| Step 1: Connect to Source database and open it read only |
| Step2: Take backup of the Source database : |
| Step 3: On the destination server (Windows) create the pfile and the oracle service |
| Step 4: Restore the database from the backup |
| Step 5: Get the controlfile recreation script from the source database Solaris taken in step 2 |
| Step 6: Alter the database open resetlogs |
