We are using rman to manage our standby and primary.
oracle does have a rman deletion policy to applied on standby..

Subject: RMAN deleting standby/streams archive logs


I am wondering if anyone is relying on RMAN to delete standby/streams
archive logs from both primary/standby?

I am talking about commands "delete obsolete" and RMAN CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG
DELETION POLICY.

I have examined Metalink doc 421176.1 and my impression is that custom
scripts are more reliable method instead of RMAN.

The document itself is full of notes like:

"* This option will not delete archivelogs if they are needed by the
Streams Capture process in that database, if the database is open. If the
database is mounted or down, this option will not delete archivelogs needed
by the local Streams Capture process in that database. NOTE:::: what
happens with downstream capture? ", etc




Thank you in advance,
Laimis N
