My oracle8i standard edition Win NT ver reported the following in logfile:-
ARC0: Beginning to archive log# 1 seq# 2919
ARC0: Failed to archive log# 1 seq# 2919
ARC0: Beginning to archive log# 2 seq# 2920
Mon Feb 24 02:03:06 2003
ARC3: Completed archiving log# 1 seq# 2919
Just curious why the arch SCN2919 failed the 1st attempt before successful subsequently? The same goes to other arch files as well. Is it because the archiver process is saturated?

Nothing wrong with this error. It's neither a bug.
If automatic archiving is turned on then the archiver process will also try to archive this logfile, however will not be able to aquire the lock required to write into archive log. The lock is to protect multiple arch processes from archiving the same logfile. The failing process process will write to the trace/alert message that it was unable to archive the logfile.
Hope that helps,
