Once you have shutdown the database, you will start the database in mount mode with the startup mount command. Here is an example of how this all works from the command line:. It's always a good idea to make sure that the archived redo logs are getting generated. To do this, first force a log switch with the alter system switch logfile command. Then check the flash recovery area to make sure an archived redo log is created.
Oracle flash recovery area re-named to fast recovery area. The directory structure on my computer looks like this:. It might look a little different on your computer sometimes Oracle does different things on different Operating Systems but it should be pretty easy to figure it out. Now, go to the directory that is named for today? In my case, I? Next, we do a directory listing in that directory and you should see archived redo logs in the directory.
Here is an example of what you will see on your computer:. Since each RAC instance has its own redo log files, the corresponding archive log files are produced when the log switch takes place. After changing the database archiving mode, you must back up all of your database files and control file. To archive a filled redo log group manually, connect with administrator privileges. Ensure that the database is either mounted or open.
The following statement archives all unarchived log files:. The default is four processes. The following statement configures the database to start six ARCn processes upon startup:. You can choose to archive redo logs to a single destination or to multiple destinations.
Destinations can be 1. Skip to primary navigation Skip to main content Skip to primary sidebar Skip to footer navigation. NOTE : If you clear a log file that is needed for recovery of a backup, then you can no longer recover from that backup.
The database writes a message in the alert log describing the backups from which you cannot recover. Note : Even when automatic archiving is enabled, you can use manual archiving for such actions as rearchiving an inactive group of filled redo log members to another location.

This log records changes made to the database, such as inserts, deletes, and updates data. These operations will be recorded in the online redo log. Generally, the database must have at least 2 online redo log groups. When an online redo log group is full, log switching occurs.
At this time, online redo log group 2 becomes the currently used log. When online redo log group 2 is full, log switching occurs again , To write online redo log group 1, and so on repeatedly. If the database is in non-archive mode, online logs will be discarded when switching.
In archive mode, when a log switch occurs, the switched log will be archived. For example, online redo log 1 is currently being used. When 1 is full, a log switch occurs and online redo log 2 is written. At this time, the contents of online redo log 1 will be copied to another specified directory.
This directory is called the archive directory, and the copied files are called archived redo logs. One of them is being transferred to the archive log. To be more secure, you need to put this redo log file on different disks. Multiplexing is done by creating redo log groups. Actually you can think of doing a RAID operation for redo log.
