Oracle Checkpoint Logging Guide

Setting the initialization parameter log_checkpoints_to_alert to TRUE causes Oracle to write the SCN of each checkpoint and log switch to the alert.log file. This allows saving a history of checkpoint SCNs. An example shows setting the parameter to TRUE using an ALTER SYSTEM statement and the subsequent checkpoint and log switch messages written to the alert.log file including the SCNs.
