Archive log destination without setting any of Log Archive or recovery parameters

Database  - 11.2.0.1.0

I was wondering how 'archive log list' is showing an archive log destination  without setting any of relevant archive log destination or db recovery parameters.

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST

SQL> archive log list ;
Database log mode No Archive Mode
Automatic archival Disabled
Archive destination /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/arch
Oldest online log sequence 8
Current log sequence 10
SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest;

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
log_archive_dest string
log_archive_dest_1 string

SQL> show parameter db_recovery

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest string
db_recovery_file_dest_size big integer 0

SQL> select dest_name,destination from v$archive_dest where destination is not null ;

DEST_NAME DESTINATION
------------- ------------------
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/arch

After scratching my head for quite some time i ended up reading this text from documentation.

"Note also that if you enable archiving but do not set any value for LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n, or DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, then the redo logs are archived to a default location that is platform-specific. For example, on Solaris the default is ?/dbs."

APP-FND-01436: List of Values cannot find any values for you to choose error from concurrent request program parameter (R12 12.1.3)

APP-FND-01436: List of Values cannot find any values for you to choose error from concurrent request program parameter After upgrading oracle application 11i(11.5.10.2) to R12(12.1.3) running concurrent program request caused this issue When concurrent program is run for a concurrent request after upgrading to R12 12.1.3 the lov, which is attached to a parameter, gives APP-FND-01436: “List of Values cannot find any values for you to choose”. When the same request is run from oracle applications 11i 11.5.10.2 the same value set is working fine. The value set is based on a table. If you go and test the value set query from the value set definition screen it returns complete successful message yet if you go to the parameter of the concurrent request program form where the particular value set is used it gives you the above error. After searching google and oracle support I found metalink note 1400963.1, EBS R12.1: Parameter for Concurrent Request Using Table Based LOV G...
