RE: 11g Archive Logs?

I think so too, when you are using the db_recovery_file_dest parameter, log_archive_dest_10 is supposed to default to USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, and it's not. But db_recovery_file_dest is set. Since the default *_10 parameter is not set, it's ALSO sending the logfile to the default location.

I think you got yourself a bug there... Here's what I found (Fedora Linux 32-bit x86):

1> log_archive_dest_1 = 'location=/mypath' works as expected.

2> If I do ALTER SYSTEM ... SCOPE=both for: ----log_archive_dest_1=''
----db_recovery_file_dest='/mypath'

then SELECT DEST_NAME, DESTINATION FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST, I get:

log_archive_dest_1 is empty
show parameter log_archive_dest_1 is empty

3> If I *RESTART* the instance and then SELECT DEST_NAME, DESTINATION FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST, I get:

log_archive_dest_1 = $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/arch show parameter log_archive_dest_1 is still empty

Geez, that's a pretty basic QA test. Doesn't Oracle test ANYTHING anymore? :)
