Re: what's the exact meaning of those messages?

Check your backup script to see if it forces log switches (alter system archive log). If it does, you may be hitting bug 1377090. See note 119547.1. It is a message that you can ignore if it occurs during the "alter system.." command.

Hi,
I found the following message from the alert.log:

Sun Dec 29 22:35:42 2002
ARC0: Beginning to archive log# 3 seq# 126 ARC0: Failed to archive log# 3 seq# 126
Sun Dec 29 22:35:42 2002
ARCH: Completed archiving log# 3 seq# 126

It seemed the ARC didn't work in the begining of archive, but worked finally after a while, I got lots of those messages from alert.log file. what's the exact meaning of those messages? My Oracle is 8.1.7.3.0. and OS is aix 5.1

Thanks in advance.
