I'm trying to put a database into automatich archiving (with archivelog mode of course)
The parameter file is (should be) in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. The 'initoldap.ora' file over there is a link to another directory!
When I change this parameter file, and shutdown/restart the database, the automatic archiving is NOT started!
(added: LOG_ARCHIVE_START=TRUE
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST=/orahome/9.0.1/dbs/arch
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=arch%s.arc)
When I change LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST in the parameter file mentioned above, and then shutdown/restart, the archive destination (when I type archive log list) still is the same!
When I use 'startup pfile=<changed parameter file>', the automatic archiving is enabled AND the archive destination has CHANGED!!
Do it seems I'm working on the WRONG parameter file?!
So HOW do I determine WHICH parameter file is used????
Tnx
Gert
