Why 'Failed to archive' & 'Failed to archive TEST' appear in the alert log file?

Hi,

I'm running Oracle9i 9.0.1.4 on hp-ux b11.11. I recently change the online redo log size from 10M to 200M, because of checkpoint not complete message in the alert log file. Now, I'm puzzle with another message from the same alert log file. I get 'Failed to archive' or 'Failed to archive TEST' message. But when I check on my archive location & v$log view (archived=yes for all, except the status=current logfile), all my online redo logs has been archived. I even have 10G available on my archive log mount point. And the 'TEST' is worrying me, because I have no idea what it means. Is there a way to get documentation on the messages that appear on the alert log file?

A cut-out of my alert log file:

---

Please advice. Thank you in advance.
