[William Lai]

Hi Nagendra,

You have,
a) oracle9iR2 database
b) database is in ARCHIVELOG mode
c) archiver is NOT start automatically

Since you have database in ARCHIVELOG mode, please ensure that automatic archiving is configure.

-- check log_archive_start are set to TRUE
select name, value
from v$parameter
where name = 'log_archive_start'
;
-- set log_archive_start to true
-- assuming you are using spfile
alter system set log_archive_start=true scope=spfile
;
-- restart database instance
shutdown immediate;
startup;

Regards,
William
