Situatie
To automatically purge the archivelogs from the FRA, using RMAN, once they are applied to the standby database we have to:
Configure the following parameter in RMAN (standby):
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
Starting from 11g, we have enhanced the configure archivelog deletion policy to include TO APPLIED ON [ALL] STANDBY [BACKED UP n TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE ]. This will ensure that the archivelogs is applied as well as backed up on primary before it is being purged.
The archivelog must have been applied to the standby. Run the following query to list all archivelogs applied to the standby:
select a.thread#, a.sequence#, a.applied
from v$archived_log a, v$database d
where a.activation# = d.activation#
and a.applied=’YES’
/
If there is space pressure in the FRA, the archive logs will be automaticly deleted. When an archivelog is automatically deleted from the FRA, you will see this in the database’s alert.log:
