Deleting archives - VSOM 7.2

Hello, we are in the midst of a long needed upgrade from VSOM 6.3 to 7.2 and soon on to at least 7.5. We are currently on 7.2. I have some media servers that I need to make some space on and I'm finding that it isn't as straightforward how to delete and archive on 7.2 either from VSOM or the VSM. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hello John,
Yes certainly deleting Archives/Recording file is not easy way until you know the proper path to follow. Its never recommended to delete archives partially from CLI . Here is the procedure:-
1) first identify nos cameras recording needed and nos of camera do not.
2) you can delete those camera as full delete from VSOM which will delete the camera recording from Media along with camera however you can re-add those camera back again in VSM as just to free some space.
3) if you find recording is needed then you need to compress the archives/template setting like decreasing the number of days of retention of recording on server
I would suggest find camera which you do not require any longer ie recording then delete is full delete.

How do i delete archive log files manually?

My db is running in oracle 10.2.0.4. somehow, the RMAN command is not deleting archived backup files. I need to delete those files manually at os level. how do i find till which archivelog files are backed up through RMAN?

RMAN> connect target

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.

How to delete archive log on standby site

hi
i configured dataguard on 10g. could anyone suggest how to delete archived log on standby site..

Hi,
There is no automatic feature out-of-the-box but you have the following views:
1) Shows archive logs transfered:
select sequence#, first_time, next_time from v$archived_log order by sequence#;
2) Shows archive logs applied:
select sequence#, archived, applied from v$archived_log order by sequence#;
If you see your archivelogs applied you can safely remove archive log files from your disk. It is your decision if you keep or delete them completely.

How to delete archive logs on the standby database....in 9i

Hello,
We are planning to setup a data guard (Maximum performance configuration ) between two Oracle 9i databases on two different servers.
The archive logs on the primary servers are deleted via a RMAN job bases on a policy , just wondering how I should delete the archive logs that are shipped to the standby.
Is putting a cron job on the standby to delete archive logs that are say 2 days old the proper approach or is there a built in data guard option that would some how allow archive logs that are no longer needed or are two days old deleted automatically.
thanks,
C.

Check this note.
*Configure RMAN to purge archivelogs after applied on standby [ID 728053.1]*
Still it is on 9i, So you need to schedule RMAN job or Shell script file to delete archives.
Before deleting archives
1) you need to check is all the archives are applied or not
2) then you can remove all the archives completed before 'sysdate-2';
RMAN> delete archvielog all completed before 'sysdate-2';
As per your requirement.

HELP! SAP Execute Delete Archiving Session failure

Dear All,
Could anyone give me opinions on SAP problems?
When we archived object u201CFI_documntu201D, delete a u201CFilesu201D in tcode u201CSARAu201D, the AIX file system u201C/Oarcle/R3P/oraarchu201D was full, SAP and database have stopped, one archiving session deleting was failed and cannot retry. The SAP error message below:
"Text CCR 110000570022007002 ID 0001 language EN not found"
Message no. TD600
Diagnosis: you want to read a text which does not exist in the database (or update memory)
system response: Reading could not be carried out.
Procedure: you need to create this text:
1.Initialization (module INIT_TEXT)
2.Save (module SAVE_TEXT)
In SAP -> Overview of Archiving, the icon of file "000092-0031FI_DOCUMNT" is a THUNDER, not a green light.
I captured screen for reference.
[http://picasaweb.google.com.hk/lbiceman/SAP_error?feat=directlink]
Please teach me how to delete archiving session after archive job was completed.

Hi Alan,
I have not faced this particular situation, so the following is just a thought, please try with caution.
Delete the cancelled job from the job overview, this possibly does away with the flash icon (THUNDER) on the deletion status of archive file, hopefully you should be able to manually re-run the delete job by going to SARA-(object FI_DOCUMNT) ->Delete and choosing the file for which deletion was incomplete.
Hope this works,
Naveen

Manual delete archived log files

Because we don't have RMAN in our development server, I need to use manual operation to delete all archived logs. Is my procedure correct and safe?
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG;
EXITRun OS command to manually delete archived log files:
rm /oradata/arch/*
Login to sqlplus
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

If the archives are deleted manually in open mode, how can Oracle match the archived logs' retention policy? Does Oracle store the archived logs in data dictionary?While you can delete archivelogs manually any time you want, you should let rman manage them with appropriate rman commands, preferably in a script that you schedule for regular execution.
Some of your questions lead me to question if you understand that archivelogs are not actively open by the database, and they technically are not part of the database. They are simply a series of "offline" copies of the online redo logs. They are written to once, when an online redo is being archived, then they just sit there until needed for a recovery.

Is RMAN only way to take backup and delete Archive Logs?

On primary db:
===============
OS: Windows 2003 server 32-bit
Oracle: Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) R2 32-bit
On Physical standby db:
===============
OS: Windows 2003 server 32-bit
Oracle: Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) R2 32-bit
Data Guard just configured. Archive Logs are properly being shipped to standby db. Is RMAN only way to take backup and delete Archive Logs from both primary and standby db? What other command can be used?
Thanks

No, but anything else is way more work. Without using RMAN you would have to find another way to keep track of applied logs.
RMAN make this very simple :
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;Using another method would be like using the handle of your screwdriver as a hammer.

Hi Kalyan,
Go to SARA->object Name->Management for finding the archive session details.
You could check table ADMI_RUN and ADMI_FILES for the details.

When to delete Archive Log files ? and is safe to delete ?

Hi all,
I have a question, my DB is running in Archive Log mode and is growing day by day, so should I delete archive log files and where i find that my which files are old and how to delete theses files, for info I also take full RMAN and export backup regularly .
abbas

Well, if you're not comfortable with Backup and Recovery principles, i'd advise you to first read TFM: Backup and Recovery Concept(click) for you data safety's sake.
Anyway, just to give you a glance at what could happen, immagine suche a situation where your database is made of 5 different datafiles (whatever they are - SYSTEM, SYSAUX, UNDO, ...), controlfiles and online redo logs. If, for example your backup is done in a timeline such as:T0 : Backup datafile F1 and F2
T1 : Backup datafile F2 and controlfile
T2 : Backup datafile F3, F4
T3 : Backup datafile F5
T0' : Backup datafile F1 and F2
T1' : Backup datafile F2 and controlfile
T2' : Backup datafile F3, F4
T3' : Backup datafile F5
...If your server crashes (for example is thrown though the 5th floor window..) in order to make a full recovery, you could proceed multiple ways.
. Restore files from Tx' backups. Then you'd need every archived redo logs created from T0' to now in order to be able to do a full recovery.
. Restore files from backups; T3, T0', T2' and rectreate controlfile. Then you'd need every archived redo log created from T3 (inclusive).
. Restore Tx backup, ...
. Restore ...
and so on.
What's important is that you're at least able to resynch a full-set backup. What I mean is: if you restored "T3, T0', T2' and rectreate controlfile", in order to open the database you'll absolutely need every archived redo log created between T3 and T2' inclusive. If one is missions, you won't be able to open it.
That is the principle. Read the concept book I linked to get more infos.
Regards,
Yoann.
