Not a major issue, but I turned on ARCHIVELOVE mode yesterday, and today expected to see a bunch of <file>.arc files in the ARCH destination directory.

There are files there (and they are the size of the redo logs), but the extension is <file>.dbf.

How dit that come about? Can the extension be set somewhere? I guess I like .arc only because it's familiar, and there will be no confusion with datafiles with the .dbf extension.

Running on RedHat Linux Enterprise Edition.

Thoughts?

LOL! Obviously, I switched *ARCHIVELOG* mode on, not ARCHIVELOVE.... don't know what that slip of the keyboard means, but it must mean something....

Good for you ;) You turned on something good, but dont archive it too soon ;)

Use log_archive_format to set your format. say "dbname_%t_%s.arc"
where dbname is your database name
%s log_sequence number
%t thread number

hi,

modify your init<ORACLE_SID>.ora file. set log_archive_format = "your desire format"

ex. log_archive_format = "%S.ARC"
