RMAN-08138: WARNING: archived log not deleted - must create more backups


Set the archived logs deletion policy to “APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY” only and it should not be configured to have at least one backup before it could be deleted.


Current Policy


RMAN> show archivelog deletion policy;


RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name gold are:

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY BACKED UP 1 TIMES TO DISK


Set the policy to have archived logs deleted without a backup.


RMAN> configure archivelog deletion policy to applied on all standby;


old RMAN configuration parameters:

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY BACKED UP 1 TIMES TO DISK;

new RMAN configuration parameters:

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;

new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
