The process of turning online redo log files into archived redo log files is done by archiving process (ACRn). This process is only work if the database is running in ArchiveLog mode and automatic archiving is enabled. An archived redo log file is a copy of one of the identical filled members of an online redo log group. It includes the redo entries present in the identical member if you are multiplexing your online redo log, and if Group 1 contains member files redo_log_01_01.log and redo_log_01_02.log, then the archiver process (ARCn) will archive one of these identical members.
An Oracle instance can have up to 10 ARCn processes (ARC0 to ARC9). The LGWR process starts a new ARCn process whenever the current number of ARCn processes is insufficient to handle the workload. The alert log keeps a record of when LGWR starts a new ARCn process. you can specify multiple archiver processes with the initialization parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES. The ALTER SYSTEM statement can change the value of this parameter dynamically to increase or decrease the number of ARCn processes. You do not need to change this parameter from its default value of 1. LGWR automatically starts up more ARCn processes when the database workload requires more.
