    Automatic delete Archivelogs STANDBY Database

    Hi all,

    I have a Oracle Dataguard, 10g (10.2.0.5.0). I have RMAN backup on primary database, full and archive. When I do archive backup, I use delete input clause, then archives are deleted. My problem is on STANDBY Database, archives aren't deleted.

    How can I purge archivelogs on STANDBY Database?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you use Linux/Unix you can put this in your cron command.
    Just verify the path to your archive logs.

    Code:
    find /oracle/admin/sidname/archive/* -type f -mtime +6 -exec rm -rf {} \;

    Wink

    Try this if you are backing up from standby:
    Code:
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
    Or just use gandolf989's suggestion.

    You are probably better off letting RMAN delete log files. There may be an option to let the standby keep 4 hours of redo. Perhaps a different option with the same command.

    If you can do something with Oracle, then chances are you can do it a hundred different ways with Oracle...

    But my backup is on primary database, isn't from standby. My question is: is there any another way for delete archivelogs on STANDBY Database?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Vijay Tummala, thanks for your help.

    I think Linux script is a good idea, but I would prefer a solution from Oracle, as such any RMAN command.

    Also, I don't use file system for my archivelogs, I use ASM. How can I do this Linux script with ASM ?

    Thanks
