Hi, 1) Does anyone know how to stop event #20 errors going into W2K event viewer - application log? (assuming I'm not actually making the error). Ref: Metalink note - 67868.1 20 - Error, Archive Process Error 2) I'm upgrading 10g from 10.1.0.2 to 10.1.0.3 and noticing /too many/ events in application log. I reconfigured my application log to roll over (default setting: flush in 7 days may fill w/error). But, I don't like to see a bunch of 'errors' based on archiving tasks. Example text: "The description for Event ID (20) in Source (Oracle.<mysid>) cannot be found. ...bunch of junk... event: ARC1: Closing local archive destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1: '<my archive path>\archive\arc00136_-538785985.001' (<mysid>) Each archive log action creates /four/ items in Application Log. Begin, Create, Complete, Close archiving (close example above) 3) I do not have any errors in my alert log, and archiving messages appear normal in the alert log. Therefore, I believe my archiving coniguration is a-okay. Regards, Mike Thomas -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
