It doesn't crash, it freezes until there is space provided to write the = next archive log file. It has to do this because you dont want to lose = redo information. >>> "Sandy Ocheltree" 07/12/00 02:45PM >>> Help. I have just started working with a database in archivelog mode. = The=20 process that writes our archived logs to tape failed yesterday and=20 eventually the directory that holds the logs filled. The database did = not=20 crash though! (I thought that's how it worked?) The alert log has = entries=20 showing ARCH trying to write to the filled directory, and failing, but no = db=20 crash. I have copied the archived files off for now and freed up = space--is=20 it safe to just restart the ARCH process? Once the process is restarted = will=20 it continue to write to the file that it was archiving to when it failed? = Or=20 will it write to a new file? Am I missing something crucial here?
