The archivelogs have to have been backed up by rman for rman to delete them. Thisscript is the one we use.

  execute script alloc_name1_disk;
  backup
    format '/dbback/al_%sdbname_%p'
    (archivelog all
     delete input);
  execute script rel_pa1_disk;
}

HTH,
Ruth

I am trying to use the DELETE ARCHIVELOG command that is available in version 9.2.0.1. The complete syntax I wish to use is this command:

RMAN> delete archivelog until time 'trunc(sysdate)-2' backed up 1 times to tape;

I have tried this as part of a backup script and as a standalone command after allocating a maintenance channel, but it doesn't work. Furthermore, this command DOES NOT return records:

RMAN> list archivelog all backed up 1 times to tape;

But this command DOES return records:

RMAN> list archivelog all backed up 0 times to tape;

I know I have backups of archivelogs on tape because they are reported when I issue this command:

RMAN> list backup of archivelog from time 'sysdate-3' device type sbt;

Does anyone know what is going on here?

Thanks,
