LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST
is applicable only if we are running the database in ARCHIVELOG mode. LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter are used to specified the archiving location. The Location specified by log_archive_dest must be local . We choose to archive only two local location i.e, primary and a secondary destination ( using LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST and LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST ) .
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
initialization parameter defines up to ten (where n = 1, 2, … 10) destinations in oracle 10gand thirty one (n=1,2….31) destination in oracle 11g , each of which must specify either the LOCATION or the SERVICE attribute to specify where to archive the redo data. All other attributes are optional.We set the attributes for the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to control different aspects of how redo transport services transfer redo data from a production or primary database destination to another (standby) database destination.For every LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter that we define, we must specify corresponding LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter. The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n (where n is an integer from 1 to 10) initialization parameter specifies whether the corresponding destination is currently enabled or disabled.
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT
Syntax : LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT = ‘log%t_%s_%r.arc’
is applicable only if you are using the redo log in ARCHIVELOG mode. Use a text string and variables to specify the default filename format when archiving redo log files. The string generated from this format is appended to the string specified in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter.
The following variables can be used in the format:
%s log sequence number
%S log sequence number, zero filled
%tthread number
%Tthread number, zero filled
%a activation ID
%d database ID
%r resetlogs ID that ensures unique names are constructed for the archived log files across multiple incarnations of the database.
