Deletion of archives

Question

hi all,
Good day...Currently am deleting the archives in standby by using
rman  target /  LOG = $LOG <<EOF
run {
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'sysdate-1';
EOFSince we need archives in standby for a day... i havent configured 'apply on standby'...How can i modify the above script in such a way that i deletes the archives older than sysdate-1 and which are applied archives......It should not delete the archives which are not applied...
thanks

One way but not sure it will be helpful for you or not.I didn't test it.Create that procedure within that schema which have rights to select the asm views v$asm_alias,v$asm_file.
SQL> declare
  2  cursor c1 is
  3  select al.name
  4    from v$asm_alias al,v$asm_file af
  5   where al.group_number=af.group_number
  6     and al.file_number =af.file_number
  7     and af.type='ARCHIVELOG'
  8     and af.creation_date<sysdate-1;
  9  v1 varchar2(500);
10  begin
11  for m in c1
12  loop
13    v1:='alter diskgroup <diskgroupname> drop file "<+diskgroupname/>||m1.name||"';
14    execute immediate v1;
15  end loop;
16  end;
17  .
SQL> /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.scheduled that above procedure within dbms_job
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (
   job       OUT BINARY_INTEGER,
   what      IN  VARCHAR2,
   next_date IN  DATE DEFAULT sysdate,
   interval  IN  VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'null',
   no_parse  IN  BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
   instance  IN  BINARY_INTEGER DEFAULT any_instance,
   force     IN  BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE); Check more detail using oracle doc about dbms_job.
Note: I have not tested above procedure.
