Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
This is not redolog process but achiver process.
I guest you set the log_archive_max_process=2 in oracle init.ora file.
It means that oracle will start two archiver upon instance start even though you only need one(due to low activity).
And this is not a running process.

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
As you can see, it's "0:00" since Jul10. Is that of any concern?

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
For example if you are archiving the files to multiple destinations then the single process cannot take that load or it should do the task simultaneously.

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES specifies the number of ARCH processes to be invoked.
This value is evaluated at instance startup if the LOG_ARCHIVE_START initialization parameter has the value TRUE. If the LOG_ARCHIVE_START is true and LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES is not set explicitly it will start the arc0 process. Otherwise if LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES is explicitly set to a value (range 1-10) then it will start additional archiver processes named arc0, arc1, arc2 . . . . . etc. There is no need to change this parameter from its default value of 1, because the system determines how many ARCn processes are needed and LGWR automatically starts up more ARCn processes when the database workload requires more.
If LOG_ARCHIVE_START is set to true, Oracle starts up a single archiver
process names ARC0. Subsequently if the parameter is changed using the ALTER
SYSTEM command it will start the specified number of archive processes. For
example:
SVRMGRL>alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=4;
will invoke additional processes ARC1 , ARC2 and ARC3, I guess the ora_arc1_DB1 is started then.

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
If it was me.I would'nt worry to much.But may I know what is your LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES parameter in init.ora file or you can run below sql :
select name,value from v$parameter where name like '%log%archive%max%'
select * from v$database;

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
Also,this is done by the LGWR
which automatically spawns processes for more load.
This happens also when the log switches are happening at a faster rate.
The parameter setting LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES in init.ora file is the initial amount of processes to be started.

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
I think, there is a parameter in the init.ora
activated called 'LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES'.
You can check it with the query on v$archive_processes. It should show the arc1 as idle.
These multiple archive processes come in handy, if you have several redo logs to archive. If the change goes fast, one process can handle the first log and so on.
This helps with your performance.
If you have the Oracle online documnetation, look for this :
file:///disk/doc/server.817/a76956/archredo.htm#12156
If you need more info, let us know.

Re: Oracle Redo logs processes
Yap you are the guru.here are the result from our development database :
SQL> select * from v$archive_processes;
PROCESS STATUS LOG_SEQUENCE STAT
---------- ---------- ------------ ----
0 STOPPED 0 IDLE
1 STOPPED 0 IDLE
2 STOPPED 0 IDLE
3 STOPPED 0 IDLE
4 STOPPED 0 IDLE
5 STOPPED 0 IDLE
6 STOPPED 0 IDLE
7 STOPPED 0 IDLE
8 STOPPED 0 IDLE
9 STOPPED 0 IDLE
10 rows selected.
I guest in your case you will see 2 process with status running and stat for one of them are idle.
In my case,all the arc process are not running that's why it showed all stopped.
