RMAN - delete expired archivelog [message #265087]

Hello,

My shell script looks like this :

. $HOME/.profile
export ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
rman target sys/password nocatalog << EOF
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete expired archivelog all;
Yes
..
..

How should I create script if sometimes ask me 'Do you really want to delete ... (YES is needed)' and sometimes there is nothing to delete (YES is not needed)?

Thanks

add "noprompt" to the command then it will not ask you.

I think that "nopromt" is not a solution.

If there is nothink to delete this command is redundant and I get error in log "RMAN-01008: the bad identifier was: Y".

This command should only be used in case if there is something to delete, because only in that case ask me 'Do you really want to delete...!

Why "noprompt" is not a solution?

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

RMAN> delete expired archivelog all;

released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=137 devtype=DISK
specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog

RMAN> delete noprompt expired archivelog all;

released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=137 devtype=DISK
specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog
