cross platform migration with different endianness - from file system to ASM - Solaris to Linux - 11

 Hello,

    I need to migrate an existing Oracle 11.1 Database on Solaris platform (Endian_Fornat = BIG)  with file system storage. The database size is 3TB.

The target database is 11.2 on OEL (Endian_Fornat = Small) with ASM.

This is a single instance database. Since difference of endianness, I can't use transportable database. Current backup strategy does not involve RMAN at all for the source database. What would be the test way to achieve this result. RMAN might be easy as I can keep updating the target database with incremental backups until the organization is ready for the switch over. If I can be forwarded to a document as well, that would be great.

Howdy, Stranger!
