The answer is in the values of all the log_arch% parameters from the init.ora file or current values from V$PARAMETERS

| On one of our systems I see the following behavior:
|
| (sapbpr):/oracle/BPR/saptrace/background:root# ps -ef | grep -v grep |
| grep ora_

| bpradm 4242 1 0 14:43:11 ? 0:01 ora_arc1_BPR

| And from the alert log:

| ARC0: Completed archiving log# 12 seq# 251
|
| So why does Oracle start a second archive process?
|
| We are running Oracle 8.1.7.3 on HP-UX 11.x

| Thanks!
