The Switch to New Log Space command is used to switch from the current to a new log space extent. The session number remains unchanged. The previous extent of the log space will be moved to the log archive location, if the log archive location is defined and is different from the location of the log space extent.

To switch the log space

1. Ensure that the database is online.

2. Select the object Log Spaces from the expanded Database Spaces object for the database in question, and choose Switch to New Log Space from the context menu.
