Re: How closely do you adhere to OFA standards? e.g. arch directory?

Rick,

You definitely should consider contention issues when you decide where you place your archive logs. But wherever you place them, you don't need to violate OFA standards. You just place a symbolic link from the directory the archive logs are in to $ORACLE_BASE/admin/arch. That way, anyone (or any script) who understands OFA will be able to find your archive logs immediately.
