    automatic archive failed

    hi all,



    My Database(8.1.7.4/win 2000) is in auto archive log mode and will just periodically stop.Logs have to be manually archived and shutdown database reenable auto archiving of logs.

    Current Settings:
    log_archive_dest = e:\oraarch\bp000000
    log_archive_format = "ARCH%S.arc"
    log_archive_start = true

    SVRMGR> archive log list
    Database log mode Archive Mode
    Automatic archival Enabled
    Archive destination e:\oraarch\bp000000
    Oldest online log sequence 13557
    Next log sequence to archive 13558
    Current log sequence 13559

    My Alert.log file
    ================

    Sounds to me as though the ARC0 process can't keep up with the amount of redo being generated (so your online redo logs are all full on non-archived data). Have your sized your redo logs properly for the amount of work you are doing?

    Do u monitor how much freespace do u have in your hard disk? Try adding 10 bigger redo logs of size 50M and delete the smaller ones

    thanx for your replies.

    I have sufficient space in my HDD.
    But i don't understand why you are suggetsing to increase the size as well as the no of redos.could you plz elaborate me why you are suggestion to go for this.so that it will be more clear for me.

    You can check my log file ..the logswitch frequency is good enough.so do you think still i should go for a more no of redos.

    Would additional archiver processes be beneficial?Currently we have one archiver process configured.

    It should be minimum 2. Recheck ARC0 and ARC1

    Are there any error messages in your alert log to suggest that the archive process might have failed?

    Having additional online redo gives Oracle more time to archive each log before it returns to that log. Try running with 6 online redo logs and size them a little larger. So if you are running 25mb log make all of the online redo logs 50mb.

    HI,
    From ur alert log, The timestamp for every log switch is around 5hrs. So Size is ok. Problem is with archiver processes. Pls drill down details abt archiver.

    Kam.
