RE: Archivelog

An archive log file is only created once an online redo log file is filled and you are running in archive log mode, as you are doing also check if there is a script running, activated by cron, that either checks for files in your archive log destination and backs up to tape or alternate location or just deletes the files

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
