Data Guard configuration-Archivelogs not being transferred

Question

Hi Gurus,
I have configured data guard in Linux with 10g oracle, although I am new to this concept. My tnsping is working well both sides. I have issued alter database recover managed standby using current logfile disconnect command in standby site. But I am not receiving the archive logs in the standby site. I have attached my both pfiles below for your reference:
