Archive Log Deletion

Only logs in FRA can be automatically deleted

Default deletion under space pressure if
archivelog has been backed up

OR
archivelog is obsolete per RMAN Retention Policy

Use of FRA for archivelogs needs an RMAN Retention Policy Retention policy needs RMAN Database Backup

Archive Log Deletion Policy 10G

Non-FRA Archivelogs must be explicitly deleted

Ignored by all delete mechanisms

Standby Rollforward using Incremental Backup

Standby is far behind Primary
Excessive number of archivelogs to be applied
Required archivelogs no longer available

Wide spread corruption on Standby (nologging)

Flashback database first

Advantages
Much faster than redo apply
No archivelogs to be applied LOGICAL corruptions from nologging updates avoided

29

Considerations
Changes to the physical schema
Files added to primary? Files or tablespaces dropped from Primary? New tablespaces transported into Primary?

Different naming conventions

RMAN>backup incremental from scn <stbyscn> database;

Determine physical schema changes RMAN>backup datafile 7, 8; RMAN>backup current controlfile for standby;

RMAN>restore standby controflile; RMAN>restore datafile 7,8; Rename files RMAN>recover database noredo;

Primary Backup
In order of preference: 1. NFS location /Tape 2. Local directory common to both eg /tmp 3. Local directory common to Primary only

RMAN is not host aware Standby can see backup if:

Catalog is used

Path/filename does not change on standby host
