Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:Archival Freeze
Raj,
Having frozen my db many a time I can say with complete conviction thet you've got it right. The alert log will have a message therein when the arch process originally gets stuck, due to insufficient space, but the db will continue normally until all online log files have been used at which time your users get the "ORA-00257: archiver stuck" error message.

Hi Fellow DBAs,
I and a fellow DBA are currently debating about how insufficient space in the archive destination freezes up the DB. He claims that as soon as the ARCH process is unable to write to the disk, the db freezes. I am of the opinion that it does not. It will only report an error (Any idea, what the error code is?). It will only freeze when it cycles thru the rest of the redolog groups, and then when it tries to switch log to the one which has not been archived. That's why the error message is "cannot allocate new log".
Whats your say? He's also on this list.
Raj
