RE: Archivelog

Check the parameters
log_archive_start=true
log_archive_dest=/oradata4/dbs_prod/dbarchlog/arch

are set and enabled in your init<sid>.ora file

then from your svrmgr prompt

svrmgr>connect internal
svrmgr>startup mount
svrmgr> alter database archivelog
svrmgr> archive log start
svrmgr> alter database open

This will make your archiving on

Maybe a silly thing I am missing here, but a bit inexperienced with this all :

Looking at the log_mode in sys.v$database it says ARCHIVELOG

When I do Archive log list i get the following :

SVRMGR> archive log list;

Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            /oradata4/dbs_prod/dbarchlog/arch
Oldest online log sequence     60178
Next log sequence to archive   60182
Current log sequence           60182

So I go to Archive Destination directory and find the dir to be empty?

What am I missing ?

Thnx for any advise !

Greets,

Kirsten
