Converting ASM database to non-ASM environment
Following procedure need to be followed for migrating of a ASM database to
non-ASM.
Create directories (locations) where you want to put your
datafiles,controlfile,and redologfiles.
Now shutdown the ASM database and change the parameters
control_files,db_create_file_dest,db_create_online_log_dest_1{2/3/4…}

Now mount the database from existing RMAN session

database mounted

Now take a backup copy into a file system location, this copied file system
Database backup will be used as the actual non-ASM database files .

We switch the actual ASM database to non-ASM using the below simple but
powerful command.
RMAN> switch database to copy;
datafile 1 switched to datafile copy "C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\
ORADATA\CATDB\DATA_D-CATDB_I-2256105880_TS-SYSTEM_FNO-
1_08L6C2
2K.DBF"
datafile 2 switched to datafile copy "C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\
ORADATA\CATDB\DATA_D-CATDB_I-2256105880_TS-UNDOTBS1_FNO-
2_0AL6
C24R.DBF"
datafile 3 switched to datafile copy "C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\
ORADATA\CATDB\DATA_D-CATDB_I-2256105880_TS-SYSAUX_FNO-
3_09L6C2
42.DBF"
datafile 4 switched to datafile copy "C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\
ORADATA\CATDB\DATA_D-CATDB_I-2256105880_TS-USERS_FNO-
4_0BL6C24
U.DBF"
Switch the tempfiles from non-ASM to ASM ,
RMAN> run{
2> set newname for tempfile 1 to 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\
CATDB/tempfile';
3> switch tempfile all;
4> }
executing command: SET NEWNAME
renamed tempfile 1 to
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\CATDB/tempfile in control file
Now our database is switched from ASM to non- ASM
Now you can open the database
RMAN> ALTER DATABASE OPEN (RESETLOGS);
database opened
Now, and create new in the non-ASM and drop the existing ASM ONLINE
