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!!

Hello 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.

Delete archive log files on physical standby
I want to delete the archive log files on the phsical standby database when they were applied. The archive log files are in the flash recovery area. So i used
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
in rman.
My question:
Does rman delete the archive log files immediately when they are applied or when the disk space becomes scarce?Hi,
They're marked as reclaimable when applied, so they're still on the disk but when the flah recovery area will become full they'll be deleted to give space to the new one, and so...

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.

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;
EXITRun OS command to manually delete archived log files:
rm /oradata/arch/*
Login to sqlplus
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;

Oh I suppose RMAN need to be configured somthing before use. I tried it, and find no pre-requisite is required. Thanks!
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. -

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.

RMAN> delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=77 devtype=DISK
specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog -
I want to setup RMAN not to delete any archive log files that will be used by GoldenGate. Once GoldenGate is completed with the archive log file, the archive log file can be backup and deleted by RMAN. It's my understanding that I can issue the following command "REGISTER EXTRACT <ext_name>, LOGRETENTION" to enable to functionally. Is this the only thing I need to do to execute to enable this functionally?
Hello,
Yes this is the rigth way using clasic capture.
Using the command : REGISTER EXTRACT Extract_name LOGRETENTION.
Create a Oracle Streams Group Capture (Artificial) that prevent RMAN archive deletion if these are pending to process for Golden Gate capture process.
You can see this integration doing a SELECT * FROM DBA_CAPTURE; after execute the register command.
Then, when RMAN try to delete a archive file pending to process for GG this warning appear AT RMAN logs:
Error: RMAN 8317 (RMAN-08317 RMAN-8317)
Text: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process.
Then , this is a good manageability feature. I think is a 11.1 GG new feature.
Tip. To avoid RMAN backup multiples times a archive pending to process, there is a option called BACKUP archivelog not backed 1 times.
If you remove a Capture process that is registered with the database you need to use this comand to remove the streams capture group:
unREGISTER EXTRACT extract_name LOGRETENTION;
Then if you query dba_capture, the artificial Streams group is deleted.
I hope help.
Regards

How to delete archived log file in rman
Hi friends,
I got a series list of archived log validation failed by crosscheck.
How can I delete these files to release space?
Thanks for help!

Edited by: user589812 on Nov 17, 2008 2:52 PMDELETE OBSOLETE deletes the backups that are no longer needed to meet the recovery policy.
DELETE EXPIRED deletes backups that are found (through a CROSSCHECK) to no longer exist - usually because the files were deleted outside of rman.

How to delete Archive log files in ASM?
Hi,
Env: Sun Solaris
10.2.0.2.0 RAC with 2 node cluster
using ASM
I noticed that there are directories for ARCHIVELOG for every day.
for example:
2007_01_13/
2007_01_29/
ASMCMD> pwd
+DG01/<<INSTANCENAME>>/ARCHIVELOG
a) How to purge these files/directories automatically?
b) We use RMAN for backup. Not sure if these directories are created by RMAN
ThanksNatrajan,
Since I don't remember what exactly I did which caused stopping those folder from being created, this is what I would try.
You have mentioned that these folder are being created at
"+DG01/<<INSTANCENAME>>/ARCHIVELOG" in your first post. Is this the same location what you set at init/spfile.ora ?
"*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=+<<DISKNAME?>/<<DBNAEM>>/'"
If yes please change one of the nodes
node1.log_arch_dest_1 to some where else which is not the current location. Then watch whether these directories being created at this location. If they are not created we have an answer what causing this folder creation.
This is just a suggestion.
Do you see the filename inside these foloder somewhat in this pattern
"o1_mf_1_9403_2pxpr9dw_.arc"
Let me know what you think? Again it is just a suggestion I really don't know the answer.
Thanks

You mean you have taken an online backup and lost all your archive log files after that online backup?

To perform a recovery with an online backup you will need all archive log files until the end of the online backup. If you have lost them you are not able to recover (or open) your database in a consistent state.
So the only suggestion we can do is:
You need the archive log files that were created during the online backup to perform an incomplete recovery ... if they are gone you can not restore your database.

Want to delete out.log files
Log files having a file name of {servername}-out
n.log (where
n is a numeric identifying separate log files) accumulate in
great numbers in the folder, \JRun4\logs\. Some log files appear to
expand beyond their typical 200kb size into the hundreds of
megabyte range. We're looking for a solution that will
automatically delete these log files before they accumulate beyond
control.
What might be available to handle this, such as a solution
that will delete old log files after a certain limit is reached?

How to recover the database when some of the archive log file get deleted.
I am facing a problem with Oracle database, which is related to archivelogs.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Edited by: hem_Kec on Sep 7, 2008 9:07 AMHi,
Archive log files are the copies of redolog files.As redo log files are circularly overwritten,oracle generates archive log file of the corresponding redo logfiles being overwritten.So if you have a backup that dates back to 10 am in the morning and if your database creashed at 3 pm,you cannot use the redo log files alone as they have incomplete information.To completely recover the database upto 3 pm,you need archive log files generated between 10 am to 3 pm. In your case since you are missing one archive log file,you cannot perform complete recovery and hence would suffer data loss.
