    - The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n (where n is an integer from 1 to 10) initialization parameter lets you control the availability state of the specified destination (n).

    - ENABLE - It indicates that the database can use the destination.

    - DEFER - It indicates that the location is temporarily disabled.

    - ALTERNATE - It indicates that the destination is an alternate.

    - The availability state of the destination is DEFER, unless there is a failure of its parent destination, in which case its state becomes ENABLE.
