Hello:

I have restarted working on practicing hot backups and recovery today on a development database established.

I noticed that the archive files is zipped(by winzip) in the archive directory and the fil header on the zip file sems to be invalid and corrupted . In looking at the init ora file I see that I was using log_archive_format = %%ORACLE_SID%%S.ARC instead of something else.

I will try %%ORACLE_SID%%T%TS%S.ARc and see if the same thing happens tomorrow.

What format should I use for the log_archive_format paramater in the init
ora file on my application so that the archive logs are readable? Has any one else experienced something like this?

Thanks.
