Dear All,

I have a situation where my archived logs sizes coming bigger and bigger, why? because I removed the 'delete input' from my backup script.

I have two physical standby databases and when the 'delete input' was in my script I lost archived logs that were not transfered to my standby databases, so I desided to stop the delete in my scripts.

and Now I have many archived logs that needs to be deleted and also to automate this delete in a script after my initial backup script to delete old archived logs. for example: to delete old archived logs from 'sysdate -3' to 'sysdate -1'

By this I gurantee the transfer of logs before deleting and tidy up by archivelog directory. Can someone help?

You may want to set the following in your RMAN configuration:
configure archivelog deletion policy to applied on standby;

With this, the archive logs won't be eligible for deletion until they have been successfully applied to all manadatory standby databases.
