Hi, We have a databasein Archivelog mode. And we clean up the Archive logs every week after a full backup. However the internal Archive Log history in the database shows that all the archive logs (since the beginning of the database -2, 3 years old) has not been deleted and it keeps track of all of them. How do I remove this history Info? I see this in the DBA studio in the Archive Logs section of the database.
Also , is this only history or is this information used by the database to recover from failure?
Thanks
Tony

How are you doing the Backup? Are you doing an offline backup (shutdown, copy tablespace files, startup)? Are you using the recovery manger or RMAN?

Hi Tony,
Cleaning Archive log history is called Purging the catalog DB.
Run this script
connect catalog abc/abc@abc
connect target xyz/xyz@xyz
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
crosscheck backup;
delete expired backup;
release channel;
If it doesn't work. send an email. I can help you.
Good luck
Raju.
