WARNING: archive log not deleted as it is still needed

Our Oralce Database is a single node database of version 10.1.0.
Dataguard/Standby is not configured.....we are executing the following command for archivelog backup
run
allocate channel c1 device type sbt;
backup archivelog all delete input;
This script is successfull in backingup all the archvied log files however it is not deleteing the input files. Instead it gives the warning....
"WARNING: archive log not deleted as it is still needed"
What could be the problem?

If you do a Metalink seach on "WARNING: archive log not deleted as it is still needed." you'll find a couple of documents that explain the issue.
The short answer is that RMAN has backed up logs which have not yet shipped to standby, so it won't delete them, cause they're still needed till they're successfully shipped to standby.

RMAN-08138: WARNING: archived log not deleted - must create more backups

I ran:
1. CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL
2. DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL
I am getting this error. I am trying to free my arciver after an ORA-00257 error.
Can anyone help me out?

Basically this error means you are trying to delete archivelogs still needed for recovery (according to your retention policy). Develop a strategy which backs up the archivelogs in regular intervals, after a successful backup delete the archivelogs from disk, for example:
backup archivelog all delete all input;

Backup archive log with delete all input clause

Our database is 10.2.0.3 RAC db and database server is window 2003.
Our RMAN catalog db was down for a couple of weeks. During this two weeks period we use control file instead. But when I compare the log files before using control file and after going back to catalog db I found the following differences. I also pasted backup script below. It looks like that after we reuse the catalog db it is able to delete all archive logs as soon as it is backed up. The only change I can think of is one of the archive log destination is changed from F:\archive to G:\archive. This db has a physical standby db which is not up to date. Can you help me to figure out why this differences in the backup process since I am kind of worried if we bring the standby db up to date we will not be able to ship the archive log since they are deleted from the backup process. Thank you so much for your help. Shirley

Shirley,
If there was no change to the E: then the logs should have been kept (RMAN-8137) unless they were possibly aged out of the controlfile (unlikely since it defaults to 65K) or have been applied already. (The F: logs would have been marked as EXPIRED at the next crosscheck). Check to see which are EXPIRED:
RMAN> list expired archivelog all;
To see the earliest log:
select sequence# from v$log_history where rownum <2;
Have you checked the V$MANAGED_STANDBY to insure they were not already applied? Given that your latest rman log shows logs being deleted with no RMAN-8137 raised would indicate that they are not needed for the standby.

Archive log not found

The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

RMAN-6089: archive log not found or out of sync with catalog

Hi:
I am using OEM, not RMAN, to do a DB backup and got the above error message. I think the problem is caused by some archive logs missing from my NT machine.
I tried to manually copy from an existing archive log and rename it to the missing archive log but it didn't work.
I then tried to backup the archive logs only, not whole DB, and specified "delete input" option, and the process completed successfully.
However, when I tried to re-do the whole DB backup, it failed with the same error.
I looked at v$archived_log and I can see all archive logs, including the ones from previous incarnation and the missing ones from the current incarnation. How can I delete them or change their status (from OEM not from RMAN) from not deleted (NO) to deleted (YES) in order to perform a DB backup?

Hi,
I'm using controlfile for rman. I've issued "change archivelog all validate" before a full backup Before the full backup, I had a incremental backup process crashed(don't know why), which left some entres in v$archived_log. I have no problem completing the rman backup, but "restore archivelog all validate" command gives me "falure of restore..." and all those seq can be found in v$archived_log with "yes" for deleted column. Does that mean controlfile is still not in sync with the system? I don't need those target seq because those were before the full backup. Will there be potential problem later on during recovery? How do I (or when Oracle server will) get rid of those entries in v$archived_log? Thanks.

Archive Logs NOT APPLIED but transferred

Hi Gurus,
I have configured Primary & Standby databases in same Oracle Home. OS version is OEL 5. Database version is 10.2.0.1. I could get the archive logs in the standby site but they are not getting applied in the standby database. I don't have OLAP installed in my database version. Would this create this issue? However I attached my primary alert log details below for your reference:

Mahir: Yes I have my 4 standby redo logs!
I created the standby manually without using RMAN.
Hemant: if it asks for even first thread, then obviously it shows nothing is applied on Standby. By the way so it is not called a 'GAP', I think..!
Thanks.

Archive logs not getting shipped when we do a swtich

Hi Team.
I am facing an strange issue on one of our standby.
After the setup of the standby when we enabled the MrM mode, the archive got shipped smoothly.After after sometime when we tried to switch log file and check if it was working or not.
From the alert log of the DR , we can only see these msg " Media Recovery Waiting for thread 1 sequence ***". But the moment we cancel the MrM mode and re enable it , its ships the same smooth.
So need some guidance to debug the same .
Please advise .
Thanks

Hello;
On something like this I would check BOTH the Primary and Standby alert logs.
Here's a SWITCH I forced yesterday:
Thu Sep 12 16:01:11 2013
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG
Thu Sep 12 16:01:11 2013
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 811 (LGWR switch)
Current log# 1 seq# 811 mem# 0: /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo01.log
Thu Sep 12 16:01:11 2013
LNS: Standby redo logfile selected for thread 1 sequence 811 for destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2
Notice the last line is logged on the Primary almost the very moment I do the switch. Does your Database in Primary mode show that?
Best Regards
mseberg

Hello,
As previously posted, you have a GAP. So, you may have to investigate why the Archived logs cannot be applied.
To do so, you may check for the File System if any Archive destination is FULL. Also, you may have to verify the parameters on the PRIMARY and STANDBY site:
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
show parameter fal
show parameter dest
show parameter config
show parameter broker
Check also the Alert log on both Primary and Standby.
If the DATAGUARD BROKER is enabled you may also execute this
dgmgrl
show configuration verbose
Also try to "tnsping" the services used in the Archive Destination from both site.
When you are sure that everything is correct then, verify if any Archived logs is missing and try to restore it if possible.
Else if everything is broken, and there's no way to get back the missing Archived logs, you 'll have to "rebuild" the Standby from a new Backup of the PRIMARY.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin Lubiez

Current archive log got deleted, how to recover using previous archive log?

Hi
My current log sequence #819 and it is got deleted and no choice to get it back and I have previous archived logs with sequences #814 to 818.
When I starting my database it is showing that use 'MUST USE RESETLOGS OR NORESETLOGS option for database open then I used the command
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery

ORA-00280: change 8433746 for thread 1 is in sequence #819
now I don't have the archive log with sequence 819, I have recover from 818. please tell me how to do it?

You probably should post to the correct forum too: Recovery Manager (RMAN)
cheers

Archive log not shipped to standby.

Dear Experts,
We have are using oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on AIX.
And we have configured physical standby database which was working fine till date.
suddenly i found that the MRP process is waiting for gap.
i have all the archive logs on the primary system and all the logs are getting shipped to standby database expect one file.
/oracle/PRD/saparch/PRDarch1_46811_755493268.dbf only this file is not getting shipped to standby database....due to which the standby is waiting for this log.
log applied till 46810
other logs are getting shipped.
However i tried to manually copy this log to standby but it didnt start applying this log.
and i heard that if i copy the log file manually then i need to register it...please let me know how to register it if it is the correct method.
Please help to overcome this issue....
Thanks,
Shankar.

Dear Mesberg,
Is there any way to over come this bug.
Bug 6851669 - ORA-308 / ORA-27037 from Dataguard GAP resolution [ID 6851669.8]
if not i am planing to take offline backup of my primary and restore it on standby and start the DR again.
Please suggest is that the correct way to do it r not.
Thanks,
Shankar.
Edited by: Shankar Viji on Jun 21, 2012 10:51 PMHi,
It looks for me that archive unable to read, it may be because of any header verification or corrupted blocks.
Now do you have backup of archives ?
If so restore it and retry again.
If not, I suggest you to go with incremental scn for standby instead of recreation whole DR.

Archive log backupset deletion

Hi all,
DB version is 10.2.0.4 Have recently changed the retention policy from backup from 2 to 1. After changing the redundancy to 1 Datafile backup sets are getting deleted after backup and all archivelog backupsets remain in the backup location. How do i delete those archivelog backupsets during backup.
thanks,

thanks,
baskar.lSince these are backups of archivelogs, their final determination of 'obsolete' has to be measured against the backupsets of the datafiles. Are you also taking regular backups of the datafiles?
for instance, you set retention policy to redundancy of 1. You take a full, Incremental 0 backup. Then you take an incremental level 1 backup. Then you take another incremental level 1 backup. Then you take a backup of your archivelogs. THen you take another backup of archive logs. And another. At this point, nothing is obsolete, because it is all still required to perform a recovery from that one and only full backup.

XI Archiving does not delete anything

Hi all
I have set up Archiving/Delete in my XI.
I have from sxmb_adm Scheduled the Delete Job SAP_BC_XMB_DELETE_<client> and SAP_BC_XMB_HIST_DELETE_<client>
and set up the appropriate parameters.
These Jobs run every night and they report that messages have been deleted
In the processing stats from sxmb_moni it reports 1000s of Deleted XML Messages
BUT - No messages are deleted. I can still see them in sxmb_moni.
Why ??

Hi Jonny,
In addition to what Harald has said and your Table Switch is not enabled:
1) If these messages are IDOC messages then try scheduling the job SXMS_REFRESH_ADAPTER_STATUS well before the Delete Job runs and ensure it finishes before your delete job runs.
2) The messages you see may be marked for archiving. This is just my guess but you can find out using this procedure:
2.1) take the message id of the message and also the pipeline id. Pipeline Id can be found in the SOAP Header -> RunTime. Search with this string "SAP:PipelineIdExternal"
2.2) run the report RSXMB_CHECK_MESSAGES_STATE.
2.3) put in the msg id and the pipeline id and Exceute
2.4) This will tell you the exact status of the message.
2.5) if this displays - Next step: Flag for archiving, i believe you have to run the archiving job atleast once to get rid of these message
2.6) If the report says, the message is in State 29, then run the report RSWF_XI_UNUSED_MSGS which will mark the messages to State 3, so that they can be deleted the next time the deletion job runs. Remember that the End date of these messages will be marked as the day you run this report. So whenever the deletion job is allowed to delete messages for the above end date, they will be deleted.

Balaji.M
