Hi All, Finally, I have successfully had the automatic archiving turned on. My problem was I modified the wrong parameter file. Thus that caused the automatic archival DISABLED.

When startup the database I then enter archive log list; It shows archiving information for the coonected instance: Database log mode ARCHIVELOG automatic archival DISABLED Archive destination /Disk01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/dbs/arch (Please note: there is no arch directory or files in this path) oldes online log sequence 1629 next log sequence to archive 1631 current log sequence number 1631 Please note: I did uncomment the log_archive_start=true in the init.ora file. How do I set archiving destination with log_archive_dest and log archive format. Below is the information from my init.ora. I have not uncommented these two paths yet. log_archive_dest =disk$rdbms:[oracle.archive] (Please note: if I set archiving destination log_archive_dest='/Disk05/arc', how do I alter the parameter for the below log_archive_format? ) log_archive_format = "T%TS%S.ARC" in the init.ora file. Please anyone direct me how to make it work. I do need your help badly. Thanks in advance.

Make sure yuou have these 3 parameters in your init.ora and set accordingly: log_archive_dest = /oracle/data/arc// log_archive_format = _%s.arc log_archive_start = true hth, Gene >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/10/02 06:08PM >>> I did switch a database's archiving mode from NOARCHIVELOG to ARCHIVELOG. I then enabled automatic archiving of filled groups by setting log_archive_start=true in the database's parameter file. Finally I used alter system archive log start; to enable automatic archiving of filled online redo log group without shutting down the current instance. For some reason, when using the SQL*Plus statement archive log list; it shows the archiving information for the connected instance: ! ! ! ! database log mode ARCHIVELOG automatic archival ENABLED ..........etc But when I shutdown immediate then startup the instance with database open, I then issue the archive log list; this time the automatic archival DISABLED. Anyone came across this problem and had a fix. Please direct me how to fix it. I just wanted to archive online logs to multiple locations, then back up the archived logs. Please help. Thanks in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated. Trang --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
