Specifying the Archive Location
If the archived logs reside somewhere other than the Oracle default directory, specify that directory with the ALTARCHIVELOGDEST
option of the TRANLOGOPTIONS
parameter in the Extract parameter file.
You might also need to use the ALTARCHIVEDLOGFORMAT
option of TRANLOGOPTIONS
if the format that is specified with the Oracle parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT
contains sub-directories. ALTARCHIVEDLOGFORMAT
specifies an alternate format that removes the sub-directory from the path. For example, %T/log_%t_%s_%r.arc
would be changed to log_%t_%s_%r.arc
. As an alternative to using ALTARCHIVEDLOGFORMAT
, you can create the sub-directory manually, and then move the log files to it.
