Recovery window retention policy deletes archive logs before a backup?
Hi All,
Oracle 11G on Windows 2008 R2
This afternoon, I changed my RMAN retention policy from 'RETENTION POLICY REDUNDANCY 3' to RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS'
However, i checked tonight and after my daily backup ran, all the archive logs prior to the backup had been deleted! Thus meaning i dont think i can restore to any point in time, prior to my daily backup. All the .arc logs were there after the backup. So i tried another test and kicked off the daily backup again. During the backup process, the archive logs got deleted again! Now i don't have any archive logs..
Is this proper behaviour of RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW?? I thought it would keep all the files needed for me to restore to any point in time for the previous 3 days. When i used REDUNDANCY, with my daily backups, it kept 3 days worth of backups+ archive logs so i could restore point-in-time to any point. How can i use RECOVERY WINDOW so that i can actually restore to any point-in-time for the 3 days??
I wanted to change to RECOVERY WINDOW since i read that by using REDUNDANCY it only keeps X copies of a backup (so if i ran the backup 3 times in a day, i would only have those 3).
Thanks in advance.

Exchange 2010 Retention Policy - Deleting Archived Items
Our current retention policy is configured to do the following
Archive all Emails for every user 3 Months or Older to a separate Archive Mailbox Database.
We then Perform Monthly, and Yearly backups of this Archive Database. Our Yearly's are 7 Year backups.
Since we will have the data backed up to tapes for 7 years we would like to purge the Archive Database of all Emails older than 2 years.
If I implement a tag of Permanently Delete -All other folders with an Age limit of 730 days would this remove the items from the "Archive Mailbox's" as we would like?Yes. If you have any tags that delete items from the primary mailbox, they will also delete target items from the archive.

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;

rm /oradata/arch/*
Login to sqlplus

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. -
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,

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. -
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?
ThanksNo, 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.

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 .
abbasWell, 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.

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.
ThanksIt 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 log by RMAN.
Hi All,
How to delete archive log by RMAN and what is the difference between
delete all input & all delete input in RMAN backup.plus archivelog all delete inputYou get an error on the syntax.
"PLUS ARCHIVELOG" does not allow the "ALL" keyword.
(See "backupSpecOperand" in the RMAN Documentation of the BACKUP command syntax).
However, "DELETE INPUT" allows the optional "ALL" keyword as in "DELETE ALL INPUT" to delete from all archivelog destinations.
I guess that you have confused the "ALL" keyword in "BACKUP ARCHIVELOG" as being possible in "BACKUP .. PLUS ARCHIVELOG".
"ALL" is allowed in "BACKUP ARCHIVELOG" but not in "BACKUP .. PLUS ARCHIVELOG".

Umair IqbalHi,
Can you please let us know why you want to delete the archive log file?
BTW, you can use RMAN to achieve this by taking the backup of archive log and delete the original file using the following command:

Archive Log vs Full Backup Concept
Hi,
I just need some clarification on how backups and archive logs work. Lets say starting at 1PM I have archive logs 1,2,3,4,5 and then I perform a full backup at 6PM.
Then I resume generating archive logs at 6PM to get logs 6,7,8,9,10. I then stop at 11PM.
If my understanding is correct, the archive logs should allow me to restore oracle to a point in time anywhere between 1PM and 11PM. But if I only have the full backup then I can only restore to a single point, which is 6PM. Is my understanding correct?
Do the archive logs only get applied to the datafiles when the backup occurs or only when a restore occurs? It doesn't seem like the archive logs get applied on the fly.
Thanks in advance.thelok wrote:
Thanks for the great explanation! So I can do a point in time restore from any time since the datafiles have last been written (or from when I have the last set of backed up datafiles plus the archive logs). From what you are saying, I can force the datafiles to be written from the redo logs (by doing a checkpoint with "alter set archive log current" or "backup database plus archivelog"), and then I can delete all the archive logs that have a SCN less than the checkpoint SCN on the datafiles. Is this true? This would be for the purposes of preserving disk space.Hi,
See this example. I hope this explain your doubt.

## Here make sense what I trying explain
## As I don't have backup of database before of my Last backup, all archivelogs generated before of my backup full is useless.
## Deleting what are obsolete in my env, RMAN choose backupset 40 (i.e all archived logs generated before my backup full)
RMAN> delete obsolete;
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 1
using channel ORA_DISK_1
Deleting the following obsolete backups and copies:

Deleted 1 objectsIn the above example, I could before starting the backup run "delete archivelog all" because they would not be needed, but to show the example I follow this unnecessary way. (backup archivelog and delete after)

Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?
Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
Thanks very much!!
-garyHello again Gary;
Sorry for the delay.
Why is what you suggested better?
No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
No. The policy is important.
Having the Primary set to :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
"Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.
Also Data Guard forum here :
