Hello.

I have used Oracle Enterprise Manager (Oracle10g) for configuring backup policy.

Maintenance -> Configure Backup Settings -> Policy -> Retention Policy

I have checked "Retain backups that are necessary for a recovery to any time within the specified number of days (point-in-time recovery)" and configured to "5" days. However, I have archivelogs for a much longer period:

oracle_at_downtown:~>ls -al /u03/flash_recovery_area/ORADB/archivelog/ total 24

drwxr-----  10 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 27 00:39 .
drwxr-----   5 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 25 13:03 ..
drwxr-----   2 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 17 18:35 2005_01_17
drwxr-----   2 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 18 18:41 2005_01_18
drwxr-----   2 oracle   oinstall     512 Jan 19 12:36 2005_01_19

drwxr-x---   2 oracle   oinstall    1024 Jan 24 23:26 2005_01_24
drwxr-x---   2 oracle   oinstall    3072 Jan 25 23:29 2005_01_25
drwxr-x---   2 oracle   oinstall    1024 Jan 26 23:29 2005_01_26
drwxr-x---   2 oracle   oinstall    1024 Jan 27 14:54 2005_01_27

So, the question is, how can I configure how much days to keep archivelogs for? And why does it ignore my current settings? Thank you. Received on Thu Jan 27 2005 - 07:30:40 CST
