Hi,
Thanks for all the replies. I am still unable to archive my redo logs in order to back them up. When startup the database I then enter
archive log list;
It shows archiving information for the coonected instance:
Database log mode ARCHIVELOG
automatic archival DISABLED
Archive destination /Disk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/dbs/arch (Please note: there is no arch directory or files in this path)
oldes online log sequence 1629
next log sequence to archive 1631
current log sequence number 1631
Please note: I did uncomment the log_archive_start=true in the init.ora file. How do I set archiving destination with log_archive_dest and log archive format. Below is the information from my init.ora. I have not uncommented these two paths yet.
log_archive_dest =disk$rdbms:[oracle.archive] (Please note: if I set archiving destination log_archive_dest='/Disk05/arc', how do I alter the parameter for the below log_archive_format? )
log_archive_format = "T%TS%S.ARC" in the init.ora file. Please anyone direct me how to make it work. I do need your help badly.
Thanks in advance.

You probably received an error in your alert log and Oracle disabled archiving. Make sure yuou have these 3 parameters in your init.ora and set accordingly:
log_archive_dest = /oracle/data/arc//
log_archive_format =_%s.arc
log_archive_start = true
hth,

I did switch a database's archiving mode from NOARCHIVELOG to ARCHIVELOG. I then enabled automatic archiving of filled groups by setting
log_archive_start=true
in the database's parameter file. Finally I used
alter system archive log start;
to enable automatic archiving of filled online redo log group without shutting down the current instance. For some reason, when using the SQL*Plus statement
archive log list;
it shows the archiving information for the connected instance:
! ! database log mode ARCHIVELOG
automatic archival ENABLED
..........etc
But when I shutdown immediate then startup the instance with database open, I then issue the
archive log list; this time the
automatic archival DISABLED. Anyone came across this problem and had a fix. Please direct me how to fix it. I just wanted to archive online logs to multiple locations, then back up the archived logs. Please help.
Thanks in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated.
