The document describes the naming convention for detail logs produced by BRARCHIVE archiving. The name of each detail log begins with an encoded timestamp followed by a file extension. The file extension indicates the type of archiving performed, such as offline redo log files being archived for the first time, archived a second time, or deleted from the archiving directory. There are possible file extensions for each BRARCHIVE option used to archive, copy, delete, or control archiving of offline redo log files.

Every detail log contains a name with the following format: a<encoded timestamp>.<ext> The first characters indicate the encoded time the archiving was performed (action ID). The extension (function ID) indicates the type of archiving. Possible function IDs: � sve: Offline redo log files archived for the first time (option -s). � cpy: Offline redo log files archived a second time (option -sc). � svd: Offline redo log files were archived and then deleted from the archiving directory (option -sd). � cpd: Offline redo log files were archived a second time and then deleted from the archiving directory (option -scd). � dsv: Archived redo log files were deleted (option -ds). � dcp: Offline redo log files that had been archived twice were deleted (option -dc). � ssv: Offline redo log files were archived twice. Archiving was performed on two tape devices in parallel (option -ss). � ssd: Offline redo log files were archived twice and then deleted. Archiving was performed on two tape devices in parallel (option -ssd). � cps: Archived offline redo log files were archived for a second time. Then continues with the archiving of the files newly included in the archiving directory (option -cs). � cds: Archived offline redo log files were archived for a second time and deleted. Then continues with the archiving of the files newly included in the archiving directory (option -cds). � tia: The BRARCHIVE option -i, -i force or -i showwas used to initialize a volume or display the information in the label. � qua: The BRARCHIVE option -q or -q check was used to display which volumes are to be used for archiving or make sure that those volumes were actually mounted; no archiving was started. � cma: The BRARCHIVE option -k only was used to perform a software compression, but no archiving was started. This can be used to determine the current compression rate of all offline redo log files. � fst: The BRARCHIVE option -f stop|suspend|resume was used to control a BRARCHIVE run.
