Re: Archivelog - Disk space issue.

Your backup script should be deleting archive logs after they are backed up. With RMAN, you could do the following, just to backup and delete your archivelogs:

run
{
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/bkup4/oracle/%d/arc_s%s_p%p_%t'; set limit channel ch1 kbytes=1000000; # Limit sets to 1 Gb. backup archivelog all delete input;
}

If you're not using RMAN, delete the logs that have been backed up by your script. If you're not backing them up, you're going to have recovery issues.

Hello Gurus,

Have some disk space issues, so looking for ways to cleanup.

Please confirm that my thinking is correct. I run the command and example output below:- SQL> archive log list

Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            C:\Oracle\oracle.....
Oldest online log sequence     2334
Next log sequence to archive   2338
Current log sequence           2338

I can write a script (Perl) to remove all archive files < 2334?

Much appreciate any input or confirmation.
