RE: Archiver error without archive log mode

Greetings,

Is it possible log_archive_start is set to true? I believe that will start the 
archiver process even if the database is in noarchivelog mode.

Subject: Archiver error without archive log mode

Dear list,

A question - maybe I am just silly, but I can't explain how that comes:
One of my 10gR2 Databases is in NORACHIVELOG mode. (v$database log_mode
is NOARCHIVELOG).

If I force a logswitch with "alter system switch logfile;" I'll get this
alert log entry (without any ORA- error): Thread 1 cannot allocate new
log, sequence <something>"

This alone would be quite "funny", but tonight there have been jobs
refusing to start with "ORA-0257 archiver error. Connect internal only,
until freed.”

Why is there an archiver process without archive log mode, and why is it
blocking my transactions?

Something you should know: The ASM disk group used by the database is
95% full, but there have been no errors with extending tablespaces or
something like that.

Any advice is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!
Martin Klier
