In this post Ill show a way to migrate the database stored in ASM to Filesystem. Ill use PL/SQL scripts and RMAN commands to accomplish this.I dont like to use Oracle Managed File (OMF) for filesystem because I prefer readable names when we use non-ASM filesystem. We have some others options which is litte bit easier, for example, migrating using OMF (filesystem) and RMAN, this way will be covered on this post.I ask you if modify the PL/SQL code used in this post, leaving more efficiently, please send it back so I can make available to others by updating this post.

The change allows numbers on the datafile names (i.e. datafiles for table partitions tablespaces by years, quarters, etc). Also, the restore database and switch commands were changed in their order (originally: first switch then restore), and the order that worked for me was first restore then switch. 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940414243444546474849505152535455565758596061 SET serveroutput ON;DECLAREvcount NUMBER:=0;vfname VARCHAR2(1024);CURSOR dfISSELECT file#,replace (substr ( name, 1, instr( name, '.', 1 , 1 ) -1) || '_', '+DATA', '/data_oracle' ) AS nameFROM v$datafileorder by name;CURSOR tpISSELECT file#,rtrim(REPLACE(name,'+DATA/ictxcyc/tempfile/','/data_oracle/ictxcyc/datafile/'),'.0123456789') AS nameFROM v$tempfile;BEGINdbms_output.put_line('CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;');FOR dfrec IN dfLOOPIF dfrec.name != vfname THENvcount :=1;vfname := dfrec.name;ELSEvcount := vcount+1;vfname:= dfrec.name;END IF;dbms_output.put_line('backup as copy datafile ' || dfrec.file# ||' format "'||dfrec.name ||vcount||'.dbf";');END LOOP;dbms_output.put_line('run');dbms_output.put_line('{');FOR dfrec IN dfLOOPIF dfrec.name != vfname THENvcount :=1;vfname := dfrec.name;ELSEvcount := vcount+1;vfname:= dfrec.name;END IF;dbms_output.put_line('set newname for datafile ' || dfrec.file# ||' to "'||dfrec.name ||vcount||'.dbf" ;' );END LOOP;FOR tprec IN tpLOOPIF tprec.name != vfname THENvcount :=1;vfname := tprec.name;ELSEvcount := vcount+1;vfname:= tprec.name;END IF;dbms_output.put_line('set newname for tempfile ' || tprec.file# ||' to "'||tprec.name ||vcount||'.dbf" ;');END LOOP;dbms_output.put_line('restore database;');dbms_output.put_line('switch tempfile all;');dbms_output.put_line('switch datafile all;');dbms_output.put_line('recover database;');dbms_output.put_line('}');dbms_output.put_line('alter database open;');dbms_output.put_line('exit');END;
