You Should Be Using

Alter System Archive Log Current / ALL

This will wait till the archive Process has written out the archivelog unlike the Alter System Switch Log file.

I have a online backup script which issues the command

ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE; immediately before copying the archived redo logs.

Does this make sense? I am finding that the ARC process has not finished archiving the log before I copy the archive logs
