Try this. I use it OK.
Change the log_archive_dest to your location.

Turning on Archive log mode


  1. set parameters in init.ora
log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest = e:\arch
log_archive_format = SID_%s.arch

2. shutdown database
3. startup mount
4. alter database archivelog
5. alter database open

6. archive log list ( to check )
7. put cron job to delete files older than  specific time ( check backup schedule)
