Move Apps Database from Solaris to NT

Question

Hi,
This is the problem that I am having:
We have installed Oracle Apps 11.5.5 TEST instance on Solaris. Because of space constraints, we
wanted to move the database to a NT box. This NT box also contained Oracle Apps 11.5.5. So, what
we did was:
1. we stopped all the services in the NT box except for the database and the listener.
2. Changed the tnsnames.ora and the dbc file in the solaris box to refer to the NT box.
3. Added a new dbc file <NT HOST NAME>_<SID>.dbc in the directory $FND_TOP/secure, so that the
dbc file refers to NT box.
4. Started all the services on the Solaris box except for the database and the listener.
When trying to login to Apps, we are getting the error:
"Database Log in Failed"
When I try to login to Apps using http://<machine name>.<domain name>:<port
name>/dev60cgi/f60cgi, I initially got the error "APP-FND-01516".
Then, I modified the port number in the Forms Listener and the dbc file.
Now, I am asked to enter the username and password after which the list of responsibilities of
the user is correctly displayed. When I select the responsibility, I get the error
"APP-FND-01508: Failed to connect. AOL was unable to connect to the ORACLE database.
Action: Check for Oracle Errors to find out why the connect failed.
Action: Check that you have entered the correct username and password by using SQL*PLUS and
entering the same username and password."
When I say OK, I get one more msg saying that:
"There are no valid navigations for this responsibility.
Cause: AOL was unable to load the menu for the current responsibility.
Cause: The menu compilation failed.
Cause: There are no navigable forms associated with this responsibility.
Action: Contact ur sys admin. Ensure that a valid menu, containing navigable forms, is defined
for the responsibility. Ensure that the menu is properly compiled."
When I press OK I get back the same list of responsibilities.
What do I do to make this DB migration work?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. This is urgent because it is holding up my teams's work.
Thanks In Advance

Use the Export/Import process if you also want to move the database to Linux as well.
