When you issue the "aler database ..." command the database cannot be opened but mounted. 2. You should start archiving: alter system archive log start [ to 'filename' ] ; 3. There are few parameters in the init.ora file (this is for the version 8.0): LOG_ARCHIVE_START LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT These parameters will take effect when you start your database (so make the change before you start the database).

I appreciate your replies. Thanks.
