Re: deleting archived redo logs after rman backup

One way to think logs are OK is to open your standby read-only. Won't open if there is a problem.

Since it is difficult to determine when it is safe to delete logs, you might consider keeping them online for a couple of backup worths, in case some psycho session keeps a very long transaction open, or the most recent backups are corrupt. Since I'm on unix, a simple find..rm command keeps a couple days logs, and simple RMAN commands keep the controlfile in sync.
