2379836 - Homogeneous or Heterogeneous system copy in case of minor OS change

Symptom

Usually a Homogeneous system copy requires that both of DB and OS remain the same in the source system and target system.
If either OS, or DB, or both OS/DB in the target system differ from the OS/DB of the source system, a Heterogeneous system copy is needed.

Although a system copy is planned for the scenarios below, the classification as either a "Homogeneous system copy" or a "Heterogeneous system copy" may be unclear.

  1. Change OS from SUSE Linux x86_64 to RedHat Linux x86_64 (or vice versa)
  2. Change OS from AIX to HP-UX or Solaris (or vice versa)
  3. Change OS from Unix to Linux (or vice versa)
  4. Change Windows version
