Re: Oracle 8i and Windows 2000 Server

I (like many others) had the same problem. It usually only occurs with Oracle 8i standard edition, not the enterprise edition.

It is simply a bug in the Oracle installer, which enables a feature (called managed standby to automatically post archived logs to a standby instance) that is not available on the standard edition.

Simply comment out the following lines in your init.ora, if you do not need to run in archive mode (which usually isn't acceptable in a production environment) :

# log_archive_start = true log_archive_dest_1 =
# "location=D:\oracle\oradata\storydb\archive" log_archive_format =
# %%ORACLE_SID%%T%TS%S.ARC

For a more detailed description and instructions to run in archive log mode see :
