I installed SOA in a cluster and this SOA is associated to a DB instance. However, I need to move the DB to a different host and the SID and port will also change. DBAs have created the DB, ran rcu and imported the data into this new DB. To make SOA point to this new DB, is it enough if I change the WL data sources ? Is anything more to be done?

Hi Jacco
I agree to do it with expdp/ impdp.
However, for this test I did a clone of the DB, and it worked also.

If you ever want to patch your repository with Oracle’s scripts again, just copying the mentioned schema’s is a bad idea. You should also copy the system.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY$ table for instance. Depending on the FMW product there might be more objects (and sys grants) around. In my opinion creating the repository with RCU and copying the data with datapump (content=data_only) is a more sustainable idea.

Also, for more examples on how to clone FMW environments, see: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/core.1111/e10105/testprod.htm
