Important Oracle Database Agent Installation Information for Oracle 10g Users

by  sandyboy  Posted    (Edited  )
When configuring an Oracle 10g database for archive log mode, you must perform the following commands:

CONNECT SYSTEM/SYSTEM_PASSWORD AS SYSDBA
STARTUP MOUNT EXCLUSIVE
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
ARCHIVE LOG START;

If you're not using a flash recovery area with your Oracle 10g server, you need to include the following entries in either the PFILE or the SPFILE:
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1="C:\Oracle\oradata\ORCL\archive"
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT="ARC%S_%R.%T"
With Oracle 10g, the LOG_ARCHIVE_START and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST entries are considered obsolete and should not be made in either the PFILE or the SPFILE.

An alternative to making manual changes to the PFILE or SPFILE and executing commands is to use the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. This utility allows you to make the necessary changes to enable archive log mode using a GUI.
