Understanding the ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET Parameter in Oracle Database

Understanding the ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET Parameter in Oracle Database The ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET parameter is an important configuration setting in Oracle databases, particularly in environments where data consistency and recovery point objectives (RPO) are critical, such as Data Guard setups. This parameter helps manage and minimize the lag between the primary and standby databases by controlling the frequency of log switches. What is ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET? ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET is an Oracle initialization parameter that specifies the target time (in seconds) for which the redo data can lag behind on a standby database relative to the primary database. By setting this parameter, you can ensure that the primary database frequently archives its redo logs, thereby reducing the potential data loss in case of a failover to the standby database. How ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET Works When the ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET parameter is set, Oracle ensures that the primary database archives its current redo log at least once e...
