Re: archiving redo logs

Bala,
 Could you not have the second archive destination as the Dec server location? Or can you nfs mount a directory from the Dec onto the Sun and use that as the second archive location. Keep in mind of the ramifications if the second destination is unavailable, I believe that the system will continue to archive to the second destination and hang the database until the archive is complete.  How about using cron and RCP the archive logs to the Dec server at a defined time frame.
Many options are available. If the OS's are different are the archivelogs usable?

RE: Oracle 9i installation - Basic Qs - HELP!Hi,

How can I archive redo logs automatically to a different machine ?. Standby
database is not an option because the target machine's OS is different from
the primary.

Primary db is 8.1.7.2 resides on SUN E10k with SunOS 5.8. Target server is DEC Alpha 4.0

If UNIX script is the only option, I appreciate if you can share it here.

Thanks,

Bala.
