ARC0: Becoming the 'no FAL' ARCHARC0: Thread not mounted

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My DB is in NOARCHIVELOG mode. When I try to switch it (using SAPDBA) to ARCHLOG mode, the DB goes into an 'unkown status' and I have to shutdown and startup the DB to get it back in operation. The DB is still in NOARCHIVELOG mode. This is a problem in terms of media recovery.

What could be the problem? I have search OSS, the alert log and arc log files but to no avail.
