After you've made some space, or to direct archiving to an emptier place, remind Oracle where to right the archive files. When it locks up, it resets something in memory that needs to be reset.

  • SQLPLUS /NOLOG
  • Connect internal
  • alter system set log_archive_dest_1="LOCATION=F:\ORACLE\EDWD" SCOPE=MEMORY;

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL(object_type, object_name, owner)

as in:

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE', MY_TABLE, CHIP);
