Auto archive log deletion from single location out of multiple locations.

Hi,
I am running database on 11r1 version.
I have set two archive log locations. now i want archive logs to be deleted through RMAN from only one location the other location shouldn't be affected. what are the specific parameters to be set. Is there any specific command for this please advise.
Thanks in advance.

If you see Hemant's reply in the below link, he had shown how to delete archives from 1 location.
RMAN backup with 2 archive log locations

  • How to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control

    Hi
    Anybody suggest me how to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control.
    Thanks

    It is important to specify both, the oracle version and os version when posting, so confusions can be avoided.
    In this particular case, since you are referring to asm and grid control you could be talking about either 10gR1, 10gR2 or 11gR1; but I strongly suggest you to avoid us to be guessing. In either case, you sould go to the maintenance tab of the target database and program a scheduled 'delete noprompt obsolete;' procedure. This will purge the information stored at the Flash recovery area, which I assume you have declared inside the ASM.

    Hi,
    I do new tests it's very strange.
    BACKUP ARCHIVELOG command is not obeying the policy of archivelog.
    You can open a SR on MOS. (to check bugs)
    I reproduce the same test and the result was the same, it seems that this is a bug.

    RMAN> list archivelog all;
    specification does not match any archived log in the repositoryOracle Docs Says:
    The BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ... DELETE INPUT command deletes archived log files after they are backed up.
    This command eliminates the separate step of manually deleting archived redo logs.
    With DELETE INPUT, RMAN deletes only the specific copy of the archived log chosen for the backup set.
    With DELETE ALL INPUT, RMAN deletes each backed-up archived redo log file from all log archiving destinations.
    As explained in "Configuring an Archived Redo Log Deletion Policy",
    the BACKUP ... DELETE INPUT and DELETE ARCHIVELOG commands obey the archived redo log deletion policy
    for logs in all archiving locations. For example, if you specify that logs should only be deleted when backed
    up at least twice to tape, then BACKUP ... DELETE honors this policy.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#BRADV89524
    But in ours case it's not honors this policy.
    Only with the FORCE command should this happen. But it is not our case.
    Oracle Docs:
    If FORCE is not specified on the deletion commands,
    then these deletion commands obey the archived log deletion policy.
    If FORCE is specified, then the deletion commands ignore the archived log deletion policy.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta010.htm#RCMRF113
    Alternatively you can do the following:
    Set the commands separately.
    Check this:
    RMAN>  run {
    2> backup archivelog all not backed up 2 times ;
    3> delete archivelog all backed up 2 times to disk;
    4> }

  • Deleting the old Archive Log Files from the Hard Disk

    Hello All,
    I want to delete the old archive files of Oracle. These files are very old and consuming very huge disk space.
    Is there any way by which I can delete these files from the Hard Disk?
    Can I directly delete them using the Operating System Command?
    Will it cause any dilfference to the normal functioning of my Database?
    If I need to delete these files, do I need to bring the database down?
    Please guide me.
    I need to do this activity to make some space free on the Hard Disk.
    Thanks in advance.
    Himanshu

    Hi.
    Keep archived logs from time of last backup and forward to currenct time on disk together with the backup itself. And keep older archived logs together with older warm/cold backupfiles on tape as long as there is enough capasity or following your recovery strategy. This way you might be able to roll forward a recovery without restoring these files from tape which often the faster.
    Older archived logs can be deleted manually, with scheduled OS script or automatically with RMAN.
    Good luck

  • Archive logs deletion using VI or VIM editor

    Dear professional,
    Recently I moved from one organization to another. In my team all are deleting archive log files using VI editor, They are copying archivelog file names in new vi file and deleting simply.. Can anyone suggest me how to do that (with Deletion command)?
    Thanks
    Sagar

    Thank you for your response..
    This is the way we are deleting archivelog files after backups done to make free space in disk.

  • RMAN,Data Guard and Archive log deletion

    Our DG environment is running Oracle 11g R2
    we have a 3 node DG environment with
    A being the Primary
    B and C being Active Data Guard Standbys
    Backups are taken off of B and go directly to tape.
    Standby Redo Logs and Fast Recovery Area are being used
    Taking recommendation from "Using Recovery Manager with Oracle Data Guard in Oracle Database 10g"
    RMAN Setting on Primary ("A")
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
    RMAN Setting on Standby ("B") where Backup is done
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE
    RMAN Setting on other Standby ("C")
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
    How can we know what archive logs are eligible to be deleted from "A" and "C" ?
    When does the delete take place?
    How can we tell when the archive logs are being deleted from "A" and "C" ?

    Dear user10260925,
    The documentation that you have read is reliable but insufficient.
    The Oracle can manage the archivelog directory and knows which one is eligible for the deletion. Those stuff you have posted in here has been taken from the online documentation and is supported and can be used when the Oracle knows and manages the archivelogs. That is simply called the flash recovery area. Please read about the FRA in this very moment.
    Under normal circumstances people in the industry uses some scripts to achive the archivelog deletion on the standby system.
    Here is a useful example to you;
    # Remove old archivelogs
    00,30 * * * * /home/oracle/scripts/delete_applied_redo_logs_OPTSTBY.sh
    vals3:/home/oracle#cat /home/oracle/scripts/delete_applied_redo_logs_OPTSTBY.sh
    export ORACLE_SID=optstby
    export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
    cd /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog
    /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @delete_applied_redo_logs.sql
    grep arc delete_applied_redo_logs.lst > delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
    chmod 755 delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
    sh delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
    rm delete_applied_redo_logs_1.sh
    rm delete_applied_redo_logs.lst
    vals3:/home/oracle#cd /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog
    vals3:/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog#cat delete_applied_redo_logs.sql
    set echo off
    set heading off
    spool /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog/delete_applied_redo_logs.lst
    select 'rm -f ' || name from v$archived_log where applied = 'YES';
    spool off
    exit
    vals3:/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/archivelog#Hope That Helps.

    Hi;
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF X DAYS; << it says how many days you will keep your db and archive backups If you set it 2 its mean 2 days bakcup will be keep your db backups
    For your issue you can set this parameter or you can delete them manualy and then can run crosscheck from rman(Both method mention by Mdtaylor already)
    For me i am also using this:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
    delete noprompt backup of archivelog until time 'sysdate-4'; << My system is keep my backups 7 days but wiht this command i can delete sysdate-4 hours archivelog from system(Dont forget it will delete wiht hour base,i mean if your time is now 10.00 am than it will delete sysdate-4 until 10.00 am, you can see 10.20 asrchivelog on your system)
    Regard
    Helios
