We have setup physical Dataguard to reduce the downtime to do the application upgrade.
We were using 2 node RAC and we shutted down 1 node and setup a dataguard and make it in sync. As soon as Application Upgrade started, we opened the standby database (Activate and Read write open). Apps team repoint the app to this opened DB and Started the upgrade in the original DB. As soon as upgrade finished we shutted down the standby database which we opened and started the 2nd instance of the RAC which we shutted down Initially. Now the RMAN is still thinking that the Archive logs are required and not deleting Automatically. State_2 parameter is already DEFER
Please suggest.
