Thanks for reply
What I mean after I do alter system switch log file, I can see the archived log files is generated in the physical Disk but when
select MAX(SEQUENCE#) FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG;
the sequence number not changed it should increase by 1 when ever I do switch logfile.
however I did as you asked please find the result below:
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
