Dear All
I had a production db with archive logging enabled

SQL> select name,status
2 from v$archived_log;


NAME STATUS
---------------------------------------- -
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_13.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_14.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_15.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_16.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_17.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_18.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_19.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_20.DBF A
D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_21.DBF A


after that i had taken the full RMAN hot backup
RMAN>RUN{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL disk1 DEVICE TYPE DISK MAXPIECESIZE = 1G FORMAT 'D:\oracle\backup\%D_RMAN_BACKUP_%U.bak';
BACKUP DATABASE TAG 'FULL_BACKUP';
SQL "alter database backup controlfile to trace as ''D:\oracle\backup\Controlfile_Backup_Trace.trc''";
RELEASE CHANNEL disk1;
}
and now i feel that old archivelog files generated before full rman backups are not needed ,so i deleted the old archivelog files from os using os command
1_13.DBF to 1_19.DBF are deleted from os level

but after that transaction is going on and archivelog files are generated now i want to backup all archivelog with RMAN by the following script 

RMAN>run { 
allocate channel c1 type disk;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all format 'D:\oracle\backup\log_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel c1;
}
but i got the error 

RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises re
coverability
ORA-19625: error identifying file D:\ORACLE\ARCHIVE_ORCL1\1_13.DBF
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.

because some files are deleted from os level
and now i do the following

RMAN>crosscheck archivelog all;

RMAN> list expired archivelog all;

and now run the script again to backup all archivelogs which were generated after RMAN backup
So the backup of all archive log files are successfully created

3> sql 'alter system archive log current';
4> backup archivelog all format 'D:\oracle\backup\log_t%t_s%s_p%p' delete input;

and now i want to restore and recover db
so first i need to restore archive log files to start recovery

So i need to restore archivelogs by using sequence 

RMAN>RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 20 UNTIL SEQUENCE 28;

So the restore is completed successfully
So its very hard to monitor archivelog files
i feel i should have included all archivelog files while taking RMAN backup

RMAN >backup database plus archivelog all delete input;

but the problem is my RMAN backup is already 360GB in size and it takes 4-5 hrs to complete .
so i need to schedule RMAN backup at one time (e.g sunday) ,delete the archivelog files older than sunday
and now schedule the archivelog backup at another day (e.g wed &sat)

my question is
where i have to change my script to backup all avaialbe archivelog files if old archivelog files are deleted at os level?

RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c1 type disk;
3> sql 'alter system archive log current';
4> backup archivelog all format 'D:\oracle\backup\log_t%t_s%s_p%p' delete input;
5> release channel c1;
6> }

please suggest!

Just Add this archive log script at the end of your backup database script and try..
like this..an example...
Run
 {
  allocate channel ch1 type disk format '$***_ORABACKUP/%U.bck';
  allocate channel ch2 type disk format '$***_ORABACKUP/%U.bck';
  allocate channel ch3 type disk format '$***_ORABACKUP/%U.bck';
  allocate channel ch4 type disk format '$***_ORABACKUP/%U.bck';
  allocate channel ch5 type disk format '$***_ORABACKUP/%U.bck';
  set limit channel ch1 kbytes 2024800;
  set limit channel ch2 kbytes 2024800;
  set limit channel ch3 kbytes 2024800;
  set limit channel ch4 kbytes 2024800;
  set limit channel ch5 kbytes 2024800;
  backup database;
  sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
  backup archivelog all format '$***_ORABACKUP/al_%U.bck';
  backup current controlfile
  tag = cf1
  format '$***_ORABACKUP/cf_%U.bck';
 }

Why are you manually deleting the files from disk? If you want to remove the files, do so thru RMAN. You can backup database and archivelogs and then delete the archivelogs all in one command:

RMAN> backup database plus archivelog delete input;

NOTE: Use delete all input if you are archiving to multiple locations.

Why are you taking the db backup only once per week? I'd be taking a level 0 once per week, and a level 1 the other six days?

And why do you seem to think you can only backup the archivelogs along with the once per week backup of the db? In addition to backing up the archivelogs along with the db (but as a seperate step, not with 'backup database .. plus archivelog') you could have a seperate job to backup only the archivelogs. That job could be run daily, or every 'n' hours throughout the day.

As others said, you should NOT be deleting the archivelogs outside of rman, and without having backed them up using rman. Therein lies disaster.
