Why is the archive redo log size quite small?

As my understanding, size of archive redo log should equals or be slightly less than size of redo log.

I got a scenario,

2 nodes RAC on Redhat

Redo log size, 200M

There are many 1xMB archive redo log on it, any idea?

Small archive logs indicate that a redo log switch is being forced before it fills up.

This happens at normal shutdown of an instance in archivelogmode or by the following SQL commands

ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT; -- all instances

ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;  -- instance level

Are there scripts being run regularly which are doing this?

Is there a standby database are the shipping archive logs?

Upon information I received, here is response to your inquiries.

Are there scripts being run regularly which are doing this?

No sure, the Frond End is commercial barcode scan application.

Is there a standby database are the shipping archive logs?

No.

The following conversation with DBA, there is something interesting.

In their former configuration, single instance (no RAC), setting of size is 50, average size of arch redo log is about 45MB

Then, configured their system with RAC, setting of size is 50, average size of arch redo log is about 3MB

During the process, no SQL change on application.

Any idea?
