25/11/2017 Find Oracle Archive Logs

Question: I need the commands to find the Oracle archive logs on my database.

Is there a standard place to locate the archive redo logs directory?

Answer: The archived redo logs will be in the flash recovery area in the ARCHIVELOG directory.

The following commands can be used to locate the Oracle archive logs:

Issue the archive log list command:

SQL> archive log list


Issue the show parameter command:

SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest


Query the v$archive_dest view:

SQL> select dest_name, status, destination from v$archive_dest;

For more details on archive log locations, see my notes on implementing
