+Do not set `log.mining.archive.destination.name` to the path where the archive logs are written by Oracle.
+Instead, this property should refer to the value in the `DEST_NAME` column in the `V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS` table for the preferred row that satisfies your archive log retention policy.

 [WARNING]
 ====
 If your Oracle environment includes multiple destinations that satisfy that criteria, and you fail to specify the preferred destination, the {prodname} Oracle connector selects the destination path at random.
