ARCHIVE LOG MODE

        I set archive logging to true altered the database and did the same, restarted the database, and performed some inserts to see if oracle created some ar*.log files. I haven't seen any and was wondering if I had to create the directory for oracle so that it can archive.

        By default oracle writes the archive logs to

$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/arch but the arch directory isn't present. Do I have to wait til a certain number of transactions have occurred before Oracle creates the first archive log file?
