You Asked

We are planning to migrate our databases from sun sparc machine to solaris x86_64. Both are different endian format. Could you please let me know the best approach to migrate these databases

I've done a similar exercise - which you can read about here

https://connormcdonald.wordpress.com/2015/06/06/cross-platform-database-migration/

so I can definitely endorse the cross-platform tablespace method. It works and there is minimal downtime.

There are plenty of good articles on MOS about it as well
