Helmut, You can try the following command: BACKUP (ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE xxxx); Muqthar -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Daiminger, Helmut Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 3:18 AM To: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: How to remove deleted Archive Logs from recovery catalog Hi! We were having a problem this morning that the archiver process on one of the production databases was stuck. Our DBA just did a "rm *.arc" on the archive destinations directories. Not really elegant, but it solved the immediate problem... ;) Now if we invoke RMAN, it "complains" that it would like to write the (now non-existent) archive logs to tape. Is there any way to tell RMAN to skip the archive logs that are missing and continue with the new ones? I know that this is kinda dangerous until the next full database backup (scheduled for tonight) is taken. This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11i.
