Oracle 12102, Windows 2008 R2
hi everyone - am looking for sound advice on how to Purge Log Files (Shipped and Applied);
I have setup on Primary:
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO ALL STANDBY;
Setup On Standby:
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
is there anything else I need to configure.
PURGE LOGS FROM FOLDERS:
we have FRA on and ARC logs - can someone explain the difference between the two, I have read on some blogs DO NOT USE 'FRA' if possible.
if 'FRA' is not a necessity I would like to disable (flashback_off) on Primary and Standby.
in 'FRA' folder we have logs - example
O1_MF_DNHV_87JK_.FLB
in ARCHLOGS folder we have - example
ARC0000140935_07682558280.0001
these logs are growing fast (each approx. 50gb) and I would like the purge the logs that are no longer necessary from both folders.
all advice and recommendations is greatly appreciated.
