Re: Data Guard Delete Applied ArcLogs

Thanks to everyone.  I decided to do something like what I used to do with 
my 8i Standby - create and run a shell script every hour using the 
following (called from a cron'd shell script).  I know it'll produce error 
messages for the logs already removed, but those get directed to 
/dev/null.

Spool rm_applied_arclogs_run.sh

Select 'rm ' || Name
From   V$Archived_Log
Where  Completion_Time > SysDate - 1
And    Applied         = 'YES'
Order By Sequence#
/

Spool Off

Exit

Hmmm....I'm using a catalog and don't think I'd want to do that.  I think 
(from experience) if you're using a recovery catalog and run that command 
from the standby, you're going to risk deleting logs on the primary as 
well as potentially deleting logs that haven't been applied (what if your 
managed recovery process crashes for some reason?).

Hi Jack,

In 9i, unless you're backing up from the standby and specify delete all 
input(which has pitfalls and perils all its own), you're going to have to 
script something.

Oracle9i ( 9.2.0.8) on HPUX. 

Am I just missing it or is there no way to configure a Physical Standby 
and/or Data Guard Broker to automatically delete archived redo logs after 
they are successfully applied?  I've searched the docs and can't find that 
it's possible.  I also checked to see if RMan could do it - no luck. 

Will I just have to cron a script to periodically query V$Archived_Log and 
generate the rm commands? 

Thanks.
