Standby FRA is getting FULL, and behind from Primary

Question

Hi,
Standby DB FRA is 80% full, and also 30 minutes behind.
11.2.0.3 on RHLinux
On standby db I connected to RMAN with nocatalog and
delete noprompt archivelog all;
It says RMAN-08120 ...cannot delete archivelogs listed, I think they are not applied to standby db yet.
Primary
select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#
THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#)
     1     10485
standby
select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES' group by thread#
THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#)
     1     10342

Answer 1

Hello;
To get some room you can delete archive like this :
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';Change the date as needed.
Run this script from the primary to get a better summary :

Alerts log are a great source of information to start.
On the Standby side try :
select
  process, status, thread#, sequence#, block#, blocks
from
  v$managed_standby;Make sure you see that RECOVER is still running ( MRP )
If not your FRA might be full and you might need to restart RECOVERY after some cleanup.
