There are two methods available to view the Oracle archive log path.

  1. Execute the following SQL query by connecting to an Oracle database:
  2. Retrieve the NAME and VALUE from the V$PARAMETER table where NAME is similar to ‘log_archive_dest%’, and sort the results by NAME.
  3. This will return all parameters and values related to the archive log path.
  4. Utilize the SQL*Plus command line tool:
    Open the command line terminal, connect to the Oracle database, and use the following command to query the archive log path.
  5. Display the settings for the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter in SQL.
  6. This will display the value of the archive log path.

No matter which method is used, detailed information about the archived log path will be returned.
