LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES

Parameter type	Integer
Default value	1
Parameter class	Dynamic: ALTER SYSTEM
Range of values	Any integer from 1 to 10

LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES specifies the number of archiver background processes (ARC0 through ARC9) Oracle initially invokes.

• If the LOG_ARCHIVE_START initialization parameter has the value true, then this value is evaluated at instance startup.
• Otherwise, this parameter is evaluated when the archiver process is first invoked by SQL*Plus or SQL syntax.

The actual number of archiver processes in use may vary subsequently based on archive workload.
