am configuring dataguard in ibm power pc.
when i try to change to archive mode,in primary site
i changed some parameter in spfile by using alter system set command as recommended.
i set the
log_archive_dest_1='location="/database/archivelog/tims"'
log_archive_format='ARC%S_%T_%R'
log_archive_start=TRUE

then i shutdown my primary database and startup as mount exclusive.

then i made alter system archivelog;

when i checked with archive log list;
everything is fine.
but when i checked in the archive log location no archive logs were found.

then i give alter system archive log current;
then it is showing the archive logs.
but it was not automatically generating the archive logs.

please tell me how to make the archive logs generating automatically?

thanks in advance.

When does archive log get generated?
When does ARC process archives the redo log files?
What happens when you issue alter system Archive log current command?

You have to wait a little bit to get an archive log.

Did you do any change in database before issuing alter system archive log current? And the parameter log_archive_start has no affect on 10g.

when i give alter system archive log current then only am getting the archive files in the archive log location.

without giving that command archive log files are not generating.
normally when we start and stop the database archive log files will generate but for me it was not generating?

You don't say you are in RAC.
You don't say exactly what you did.
You hide information and expect accurate help.

This is a big activity, indeed.

Do something with your database.

Created one table is a very little activity.
Start filling it with one million rows and updating them and deleting them... or more depending on your log files.
