Parameter type String Syntax
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT = filename
Default value
Operating system-dependent
Parameter class
Static
Range of values
Any string that resolves to a valid filename
Real Application Clusters
Multiple instances can have different values, but identical values are recommended.
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT is applicable only if you are using the redo log in ARCHIVELOG mode. Use a text string and variables to specify the default filename format when archiving redo log files. The string generated from this format is appended to the string specified in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter.
The following variables can be used in the format:
%s log sequence number
%S log sequence number, zero filled
%t thread number
%T thread number, zero filled
Using uppercase letters for the variables (for example, %S) causes the value to be fixed length and padded to the left with zeros. An example of specifying the archive redo log filename format follows:
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT = "LOG%s_%t.ARC"
Neither LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST nor LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT have to be complete file or directory specifiers themselves; they only need to form a valid file path after the variables are substituted into LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT and the two parameters are concatenated together.
