DELETE COPY EXCLUDING ARCHIVELOG

Hello Experts ,
I am in a need of your help for the below my query:
ORACLE 10G
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST = C:\oraclexe\oradata\TESTDB\flash_recovery_area
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=C:\oraclexe\oradata\TESTDB\arch\arch1'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='LOCATION=C:\oraclexe\oradata\TESTDB\arch\arch2'
I have taken set of backup copy and i now want to delete them.. so i wish to use the systax "DELETE COPY". But it also includes my archive logs in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n location. How can i use the 'DELETE COPY .... ' command to exclude the archive logs ...
================
OUTPUT:
RMAN> DELETE COPY;

Hello Mseberg,
Great !
Thanks for the reply .Now i got some idea. But still my controlfile copy remains in the flash recovery area..So i have to go again to delete this controlfile copies...
So any other options available to delete all backup copies (datafiles,controlfiles,backup copy of archivedlog files if any ) by a single command except that archivelog file in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
And also i am confused that why my archive log file also listed here (LIST COPY) eventhough i didnt copied it using RMAN and i didnt placed it in flash_recovery area..
===========================
Output:
After the delete datafilecopy
RMAN> list copy;

How to delete the foreign archivelogs in a Logical Standby database

How do I remove the foreign archive logs that are being sent to my logical standby database. I have files in the FRA of ASM going back weeks ago. I thought RMAN would delete them.
I am doing hot backups of the databases to FRA for both databases. Using ASM, FRA, in a Data Guard environment.
I am not backing up anything to tape yet.
The ASM FRA foreign_archivelog directory on the logical standby FRA keeps growing and nothing is get deleted when
I run the following command every day.
delete expired backup;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
Primary database RMAN settings (Not all of them)
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 9 DAYS;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default

How do I cleanup/delete the old ASM foreign_archivelog files?

OK, the default is TRUE which is what it is now
from DBA_LOGSTDBY_PARAMETERS
LOG_AUTO_DELETE TRUE SYSTEM YES
I am not talking about deleting the Archive logs files for the Logical database that it is creating, but the Standby archive log files being sent to the Logical Database after they have been applied.
They are in the alert log as follows under RFS LogMiner: Registered logfile

Hi,
you can use rszdelete where you can choose the queries and query objects which you want to delete.
After this you can start the copy again.

Hi Mahesh,

Deleting the old archivelogs

Hi all,
i have configured RMAN for recovery window of 3 days.
this configuration works fine with the backups of database. But does not work on the backup of archivelogs.
when i issues
list backup of archivelog all summary;
it shows all the archivelogs (around 20 days back)
can i configure RMAN to delete the old backup of archivelogs?
if no, how can i configure it in the script so that when the backup is taken , it should delete the old backups as well as the archivelogs..
thanks

my retention policy is configured for recovery window of 4 days....
backup of databases are deleted automatically by
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOELTE;
but archivelogs are not delted.when i run this command
RMAN> list backup of archivelog all summary;
output is
List of Backups

Logon script for looping - searching - deleting - copy

I was trying to do multiple functions within a logon script. If nobody wants to write the script, can you please point me to the right resource to find how to code it. I am completely new to this and need help.
The logic is to have a list of files on the server which were recently updated(this list changes all the time), using these files you would loop and search for these same files on the end user's machine upon logging in. When it finds that same file
on the end user's machine you would delete the file from the end user's machine, then copy the new updated file from the server onto the end user's machine in the same location the previous one was deleted from. If file not found on end user's machine
then just copy new one without deleting anything in highest level directory. When done, you would loop again until you went thru every file that was updated on the server. The source directory will always be the same and the copy to directory on
end user's machine will always be the same, but end user's machines have subdirectories and the files that will be getting updated are in both. Any help in any fashion would be appreciated.
We are in the process of migrating from XP to Windows 7. While in XP, we only had to do a copy function in the logon script and it would copy over the old file and replace it. But Windows 7 doesn't delete the old file, it appends the new one
to the old one, making it hard for the software looking for these files to work properly when it sees two files instead of one current one. Hopefully this makes sense, I can elaborate more if anyone wants to help and needs more details. Thanks.

I would definitely not recommend copying files to end user machines from a logon script.
But you are right that this isn't a script-on-demand forum.
You can post a script request here:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/site/requests
I would point out that, as with this forum, there is no service-level agreement that guarantees that someone will have the time do this work for you. You will need to provide a very detailed specification; your post here is very vague.
However: It sounds to me like you don't have a scripting question but some kind of application architecture question.

Deleting copied information

I have a copier/fax machine (HP Laser Jet M1522nf) Is there a way to set the copier to delete the information that has been stored in the hard drive after each sheet of information that has been printed.

There is not a hard drive in the M1522nf. There may be some information in the Fax log of numbers called and dates, if that information would be sensitive.

Deleting copied file

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I am new to Macs. I copied a file from All Images to the desktop. To copy it I dragged it to the desktop. The copied file on the desktop has the exact same file name as the file in All Images. When I move the file on the desktop to Trash it also moves the original file in All Images to Trash. How do I delete the copied file without affecting the original file. To me it seems like the two files are one and the same because the copied file doesn't have a different file name. And the copied file is not an alias either.
Thanks for any help on this.

All Images is not an actual folder. It's a saved search. (Same goes for all other preset items in the "Search For" section of the sidebar). It lists all images on your computer. since it's not an actual folder you can't put anything in it. when you dragged the picture file from All Images to the desktop it was moved from its original location (wherever that was) to the desktop. You need to know its original location. then you can move it back there from the desktop.

Rman syntext for deleting archivelogs

I am looking for rman syntax to delete all archivelogs but leave last 30 minutes on the disk. I tried following but it did not work
delete archivelog until time ‘sysdate – 30/(24* 60)’
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
mkjoco

There was no error but RMAN was keep deleting extra logs that were created after the requested time. But good news is that it is working now with following command:
"delete copy of archivelog all completed before 'sysdate - 30/(24*60)';"
I found this on the net. It seems to me that RMAN was looking for first SCN time, in the log with "UNTIL TIME " but with "COPY OF" its look for file creation time.
Don't take my words this is my guess .... If someone can verify this would be nice
Thanks

Starting a RMAN backup strategy

Hi,
I took an incremental level 0 backup using RMAN while the database was in mount mode.
Are the archive logs from before the update still necessary in order to perform a recovery?
If not, how do I delete them using RMAN so that my next backup using 'backup database plus archivelog...' won't backup them?
Thanks.

Hi,
Are the archive logs from before the update still necessary in order to perform a recovery?Only if you need to roll forward to a point in time from a previous backup.
Can you post the output of:
show retention policy;If you know the exact start time of the level 0 backup you could delete the old archivelogs with.
delete copy of archivelog all completed before "to_date('define_time_here','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS')";Regards,

As you want copy, you must replace it:
this:
BACKUP AS COPY ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT;
to:
BACKUP AS COPY ARCHIVELOG ALL;If you can still using FRA on ASM you can copy without change parameter "db_recovery_file_dest"
e.g
BACKUP AS COPY ARCHIVELOG ALL FORMAT '/u01/app/oracle/%U';
How to ensure that after copy this archivelog can use for recovery.Try it:
VALIDATE ARCHIVELOG ALL;

ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY 10g?

I know in 11g, we have this command.
RMAN>CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO BACKED UP 3 TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE sbt;
is there a similar command in 10g as well for this feature?

Hi Karl,
You can enforce a similar strategy inside the backup script for 10g.
# Delete archived log entries before the run
delete noprompt copy of archivelog all backed up 3 times to SBT_TAPE;
backup
filesperset 20
format='al_%d_%s_%p_%t'
archivelog all ;
# Delete archived log entries after the run
delete noprompt copy of archivelog all backed up 3 times to SBT_TAPE;If for some reason the backup fails halfway through the run, the before delete will purge all archivelogs already 3 times on tape.

Tycho

Deleting Archivelogs

Hey, I am running a 11.2.0.3 RAC in archivelog mode.
I plan to modify my backup strategy.
Instead of a rman backup I just want to run a datapump export for three users of the database.
My plan:
One LEVEL 0 backup on disk, on ftp server and on local disk.
In a case of a failure I would use the fullbackup to restore the skeleton of the database. On top I would import the users from the datapump export.
I need the archivelogs, due to the fact that I have standby database in place.
Question:
If I DO NOT backup the archivelogs, will the archivelogs get deleted automatically or will the FRA run out of diskspace ?
Until now I just this command:
delete force noprompt archivelog all backed up 1 times to device type disk completed before 'sysdate -2';
I can´t use this any further right ?
Can I do this instead ?
delete archivelog until time ‘SYSDATE-2′; ????

Hey, I see the prob. With an old level 0 backup I cant´t restore until the end with the remaining archivelogs.
So, I changed my backup idea:
The plan is to backup the database once a week and keep the archivelogs for 8 days.
Instead of a daily incremental level 1 backup I would just export the users with datapump and also back up archivelogs.
All backups are transfered to a backup server.
Here my schedule:
Sun:
run {BACKUP incremental level 1 for recover of copy with tag 'Fullbackup' database plus archivelog;
recover copy of database with tag 'Fullbackup';}
Mon-Sat:
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times;
delete force noprompt archivelog all backed up 1 times to device type disk completed before 'sysdate -8';
Does this make sense ?
