Well you got a number of responses, but the following have always worked for me:

      shutdown immediate;
	Startup mount;
      alter database archivelog;
      alter database open;

Hi List,

Could someone help me to figure out what is going on here? I am trying to change db from NOARCHIVELOG --> ARCHIVELOG.

SQL> archive log list

Database dismounted.

SQL> startup mount
