Re: question concerning backup, archive logs and recovery

Always look at what the application is doing. Would the second application produce any significant amount of redo? If you're using exports, I'd guess the
answer may be no. In which case, there may not be a conflict (even though the DB is running archive log mode). I'm sure you know, but just to reiterate, EVERY application is different.

Sticking to the question, the answer is no. However, as one person indicated, you can turn off logging (for certain certain DML). If this causes a problem, then there may be a need to seperate the applications. In an ideal world, you would run the applications in seperate databases (and on seperate servers). This may however, not be an option, and/or the consequences of running them in a single DB may not be severe.

So, if the original poster is still unclear as to what to do, perhaps they could provide further information.
