Hi All,
You do not need to archive the log files.
Alter system switch logfile does not return until
the logfile is written to disk. For recovery purposes
the location of the logfile does not matter as long
as it has been written.

I have a online backup script which issues the command
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
immediately before copying the archived redo logs.
Does this make sense? I am finding that the ARC process has not finished
archiving the log before I copy the archive logs

Please see the official
You Should Be Using
Alter System Archive Log Current / ALL
This will wait till the archive Process has written out the archivelog
unlike the Alter System Switch Log file.
