ORA-19905: log_archive_format must contain %%s, %%t and %%r..

Answer / guest

Cause: log_archive_format is missing a mandatory format
element. Starting with Oracle 10i, archived log file names
must contain each of the elements %s(sequence), %t(thread),
and %r(resetlogs id) to ensure that all archived log file
names are unique.

Action: Add the missing format elements to log_archive_format.
