How to delete archivelog file at standby database

Hi All,
I'm running Physical Standby Database on ASM. At standby database, I can see all logs using asmcmd:
ASMCMD> ls
thread_1_seq_14.330.625772527
thread_1_seq_15.346.625772527
thread_1_seq_16.329.625772527

thread_1_seq_19.341.625772367
thread_1_seq_2.325.625772329
But when I run RMAN to delete all these archivelogs, its give me error:
oradr:/u01/app/oracle$rman rcvcat rman/rman@rman target /

Even it is not registering it. So how to delete archivelog file at standby database.
Thanks in Advance

This appears related to Bug 3298797 that was supposed to be fixed in 10.2.0.1. The workaround is to switch over to the standby, register the standby and then switch back.

RMAN in 10g database deletes archivelog files before standby receives them

Hi all,
We currently have problem with our Oracle 10gR1 database on Windows 2000 server in that the RMAN backups on the primary database delete archivelogs before the standby database can receive current and new archivelogs from primary database. What happens is that RMAN backs up the archivelogs and deletes them from disk before the archivelogs are sent to the standby. The standby then looks for these archivelogs on the primary but is unable to locate them. Whenever this happens, the production database (primary) hangs and we have to restart the instance on the primary. We have our Data Guard setup in maximum performance mode so this should not happen.
As a short term fix, we have changed the backups to have RMAN backup and delete the archive logs 15 minutes older than current time so that the standby can receive the logs and not have problems. Besides this fix is there a long term solution to the problem or is it a bug in Oracle 10g? The issue came up after we upgraded from 9i to 10g and never saw it before in 9i with RMAN and Data Guard physical standby databases.
Thanks
Ben Prusinski, Oracle DBA

thanks for answer...
did you managed to make it 'work'?
according to doc. if set on standby it should:
<>
Then, these files are eligible for deletion:
Archived redo log files in the flash recovery area that
were applied on the standby database.
<>
and this is to my understanding irespective to retention policy...unfortunately report obsolete does not report applied archived logs as eligable for deletion.
How this works in your case?
regards.

How to delete archivelogs in the STANDBY??

Hello,
I have a 10gR2 dataguard environment in which archivelogs are applied on the standby with a delay of 24 hours.
Once the archivelogs are applied on the standby, I want to delete them.
I don't have FRA (Flash Recovery Area).
Could you tell me the best way to delete archivelogs on the standby, once they are applied on the standby database?
Thanks

How to delete archivelog with RMAN in the Primary and Standby database?

Hello,
I am working on Oracle 10gR2.
My question is :
How could I implement a automatized and secure way of:
1) Delete archivelogs on my PRIMARY server only when these logs are successfully TRANSFERED to all my standby databases?
2) Delete archivelogs on my STANDBY server only when these logs are sucessfully APPLIED to the database?
Thanks a lot for your help!

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 copy archivelog-files from a ASM instance to another ASM instance

Hello ,
our RAC database has to be moved to another Datacenter. The database has a size of several Terrabyte. Will will create a standby database (on a cluster) on the new datacenter (using RMAN backup). Since the RMAN backup takes rather long we would like to copy the archive logs to the new datacenter. Since the archivelog-files are stored on a dirskgroup of an asm instance we have the following question:
- how can the archivelog files get copied from the current location to the new location?

Many thanks for your answer...
As a matter of fact the archivelogs are not backuped on a filesystem. If so we would copy them from the source to the destination host (that's easy).
The question is "how to get them copied from one ASM diskgroup to another ASM diskgroup". RMAN might be a good solution - but we would need to
figure that out...
We talking about 100 GB of archivelogs a day - therefore we don't want to wait until the standby database is configured and online. To have the archivelogs
already on the new host in the new datacenter would save alot of time.What is ASM version?
The copy is peer to peer? (i.e Can you copy files from one ASM to another directly?)

Dropping log file in standby database

Please,
I need a help for the following issue:
I'm making a technical documentation on various event that occur on dataguard configuraation, right now I drop a redo log group file on primary database, and when I try to drop the equivalent log group file on standby database I got the following error:
SQL> alter database drop logfile group 3;
alter database drop logfile group 3
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01156: recovery in progress may need access to files
this is the current state of the redolog file on standby database.
SQL> select group#,members,status from v$log;
GROUP# MEMBERS STATUS
1 3 CLEARING_CURRENT
3 3 CLEARING
2 3 CLEARING
Eventhough I do the following command on standby I also get an error.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP 3;
ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP 3
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01156: recovery in progress may need access to files
Can someone tell me how to drop on dataguard configuration the redolog file on primary database and their corresponding on standby database
I'm working on 10 release 2, on Windows
Thanks you

Oracle Dataguard Concept and administration release 2,ref b14239: is my source but it doesn't work when trying to drop stanby group or logile member.
For example, if the primary database has 10 online redo log files and the standby
database has 2, and then you switch over to the standby database so that it functions
as the new primary database, the new primary database is forced to archive more
frequently than the original primary database.
Consequently, when you add or drop an online redo log file at the primary site, it is
important that you synchronize the changes in the standby database by following
these steps:
1. If Redo Apply is running, you must cancel Redo Apply before you can change the
log files.
2. If the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO,
change the value to MANUAL.
3. Add or drop an online redo log file:
■ To add an online redo log file, use a SQL statement such as this:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/prmy3.log'
SIZE 100M;
■ To drop an online redo log file, use a SQL statement such as this:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/prmy3.log';
4. Repeat the statement you used in Step 3 on each standby database.
5. Restore the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter and the Redo Apply options to their original states.
Thank

Question: why isn't how to delete a file available.

How come you have to search for the information on how to delete a file from Adobe Reader. This should be in the instructions on how to use with how to download. Does anyone agree?

If it is a system file and even if the file is corrupted, it cannot be deleted.
Try reinstalling phone software using Nokia suite if the phone supports Nokia suite and an USB port.

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

How to delete recent file history in adobe reader in Mac PC ?

How to delete recent file history in Adobe Reader in Mac PC ?
In Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - select Documents in the left panel and change the "Documents in recently used list" to 0. Yes ! the file history is gone But when you set back the value, you will see the file history again. This is not the way to do...
I have checked all the preference or setting. I couldn't found any clear recent file history in adobe reader.
Please help ! Thanks !

First off, you CANNOT set recent documents to zero. The absolute minimum it will accept is 1. And on my MacMini, (I just checked it to be 100% sure) I opened seven documents with Recent Docs set to 10 - they were ALL listed. I set it to 1 and all but the most recent cleared. I then closed Reader and reopened it. The list was 1 item. I reset Recent Docs to 10 and there was still only 1 item in the list.

In adf,how to delete a file generated on server,when the webpage is closed

Hi,
I have an application consisting of 2 pages. in the 1st page i will give some input details and when i click on submit, some java code is getting executed in the back. That java code generates a csv file in the server location. after succesful execution of java code, i was redirected to 2nd page. In 2nd page, i am giving option to download and when the user clicked on download button and after the file is downloaded -- in the backend i am deleting the file from the server. Till this point everything is fine. But if the user didnt click on the Download button and instead if he closes the browser, the csv file gets remained on the server itself. This is the issue i am facing .. I am not able to get an idea in ADF Framework, how to delete a file when the browser is closed. Please help me out in this.
Thanks in advance !!!

ADF has nothing to do with tracking browser close buttons. What you can do is call a JS function and call the method which deletes the file from within the JS function. ADF has a component for calling java code from JS call.

How to open a "manual" Physical standby database in read/write mode

Hi,
I am running Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production Standard Edition on Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp ([email protected]) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3))
I've created a physical standby database, but since I am running Standard Edition, I am not using the DataGuard features. I use the rsync utility to copy over the archivelogs to the standby database, and I apply them periodically to the standby database.
The standby database is started this way :
startup nomount pfile='/u01/oradata/orcl/initorcl.stdby';
alter database mount standby database;
Everything runs perfectly fine, I can do "alter database open read only" and then I can do selects into tables to confirm that everything is up to date.
The thing is, if I shutdown immediate the database, then do just startup :
shutdown immediate;
startup;
The database opens with no error messages, but is still in read-only mode...
I read that the default behavior for a standby database is to open read-only, like I am experiencing, but I would like to know what is the right way to open it correctly in read-write mode (I understand that after that, my standby will not be standby anymore and that I will have to recreate my standby database).
Thanks,
Mat

Hello,
There're features which allows you to open a Standby database in Read/Write mode but for all I know
it needs Entreprise Edition.
In Enterprise Edition you can use Logical Standby database. More over, for Physical standby there's
a way by using flashback database so as to rolling backward the database and avoiding to recreate
the Standby.
In Standard Edition I'm afraid that you'll have to recreate your Standby database.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
