Ontape utility does'nt come along with XPS. We have to use onbar. But we need to do a bit of configuration for the same.(as mentioned by Murali).
Else we can set LOG_BACKUP_MODE to NONE.

Another problem was that I had just 6 logical logs with 1 mb each, which was too less. I reinitialized the database and created more number of logicl logs each of bigger size. I data loading is still goin on.

Thanks Murali for the reply.
