How to archive log files when using RMAN backup

I went to a customer yesterday to deploy the RMAN backup. when running the shell script, I was prompted that I could not find the archive log, because the customer only performed the EXPDP logical export backup for the database, and each

As you can see, the backups are all completed, and two log backup sets (arc), one Database Backup set (db), and the control file backup set (ctl) are generated ), note that because I have written the % s parameter in the script, we can find the order of RMAN backup from the time and sequence generated by the backup set generated above:

1. Back up the archive log files of existing databases that can be backed up

2. Back up the database

3. Switch the logs to back up the archived logs after full-Database Backup (even if you do not use RMAN> SQL "alter system archive log current"; to manually switch)

4. Backup of control files (including spfile, generated in the same backup set)

We can take a look at the detailed log output to have a deeper understanding of this sequence:
