Background documentation Log Segment Locate the document in the library structure

The log area of a database instance is subdivided into logical log segments. A log segment contains log entries. During log backup, the database system backs up each log segments to its own version file.

You configure the size of the log segment with the general database parameter LOG_SEGMENT_SIZE. It is unrelated to the size of the individual log volumes, but may not exceed the total of all log volumes. Select the size in such a way as to ensure that enough space remains in the log area when a log segment is being backed up to receive any new redo log entries that are written during the backup.
