Yes, the archive files will continue to accumulate. You will need to copy
them to a backup directory, then copy the files to tape, then when the copy
is confirmed as being completed, then delete the originals in the archive
directory. Do not erase the current one that is being written. There are a
couple of ways to avoid this.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Managing Archived Redo Logs
07/23/2003 02:09 PM
Please respond to
ORACLE-L
I finally get to put our 8.1.7 on NT databases into archivelog mode. We
have a third party app vendor that would not support us if I did this but I
finally convinced them that is the way to go and it should not effect the
app. Anyway, I am reading chapter 7 from the Administrators Guide,
Managing Archived Redo Logs. I know I have to set the parameters in the
init.ora to achieve automatic archiving;
log_archive_start=true
log_archive_dest_1 = "location=my\disk\drive"
log_archive_format=%%ORACLE_SID%%T%T%S.ARC -or somthing like that
One thing I don't see in TFM is, do these archived redo logs just keep
accumulating in the destination directory set in the log_archive_dest_1
parameter? Do I need to create a process to get them to tape and then once
on tape, delete these old archive redo logs through my process?
I'm just excited to be able to finally go to archivelog mode. Once I get
the basics down then I want to investigate using RMAN.
Thanks,
Dave
