Trang: I think that you missed the step of "alter database archivelog" while the database is mounted but not open.

Here is the precise steps for you to review:

Modify the init.ora file with log_archive_start = true (you've already done that)

Shutdown the database.

STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
ARCHIVE LOG START
ALTER DATABASE OPEN -----Original Message-----

I did switch a database's archiving mode from NOARCHIVELOG to ARCHIVELOG. I then enabled automatic archiving of filled groups by setting

log_archive_start=true

in the database's parameter file. Finally I used

alter system archive log start;

to enable automatic archiving of filled online redo log group without shutting down the current instance. For some reason, when using the SQL*Plus statement

archive log list;

it shows the archiving information for the connected instance:

database log mode ARCHIVELOG

automatic archival ENABLED

..........etc

But when I shutdown immediate then startup the instance with database open, I then issue the

archive log list; this time the

automatic archival DISABLED. Anyone came across this problem and had a fix. Please direct me how to fix it. I just wanted to archive online logs to multiple locations, then back up the archived logs. Please help.

Thanks in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated.
