If you are worried about deleting unbacked up archive logs then just include 
the clause "BACKED UP 1 TIME"

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?).

You could just write an RMAN script to do it.  Add the command below to delete

DELETE ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME = sysdate -1;

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<http://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.
