RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby

Recently I met with an Oracle error “RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process” while deleting the archived logs through RMAN prompt.
I simulated the same on my test machine.Note. I had configured standby for my primary database but not the upstream.Followings are the excerpts from the RMAN output.

RMAN> delete noprompt archivelog all;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1

I could delete those archivelogs using “force” option as well.
RMAN > delete noprompt force archivelog all;

 

But I dont want to do the same as those archivelogs have not shipped yet to the standby server.
So I changed the rman configuration to do the same.
RMAN> show all;

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default


RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO STANDBY;

new RMAN configuration parameters:

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO STANDBY;

new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

RMAN-08591: WARNING: invalid archived log deletion policy
RMAN> show all;

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO STANDBY;

 

Now I was able to delete those archivelogs.
RMAN> delete noprompt archivelog all;

RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability

While RMAN full backup, today i have encountered “RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability”

RMAN error.
Solution for the mentioned error is to Crosscheck your archive logs from RMAN prompt and delete those expired logs who are not needed anymore.

While crosscheck archivelogs, RMAN will marked archives as Expired in his repository (i.e. controlfile or catalog) those who are not physically present there. So we can easily delete expired archives from controlfile or catalog repository.

Additional information: 3


Cause:

This can happen for a variety of reasons; the file has been manually moved or deleted,
the archive log destination has recently been changed,
the file has been compressed, etc

Solution:

Your options are either to restore the missing file(s), or to perform a crosscheck.
To perform a crosscheck, run the following command from within RMAN:

RMAN> CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;

Above command will give information of expired RMAN repository after verification. (i.e. in catalog or controlfile)

Above will marked archives as Expired who are not available physically and who are not required for any kind of recovery.

RMAN> DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;

Above command will delete all archive logs who are marked as expired while crosscheck.

Details :

What? When using RMAN to backup archivelog files, an error “RMAN-06059: Errror identifying file ” is returned. Prior to this the backups have been running successfully.

RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises recoverability
RMAN-6059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises recoverability
ORA-19625 “error identifying file %s”

Why? Oracle is trying to backup an archivelog and is expecting for it to be available as it could be required for recovery.

Cause: The archive log is no longer accessible. One of the common reasons is that the archive log has been removed manually to free up space on the system or the permissions on the file was changed.

Resolution: The most important thing is to determine what caused the file to not be available.

Then to get around this error, to allow RMAN to continue backing up the database first connect to the RMAN repository. The run the “CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL”.

RMAN will continue to backup the rest of the archivelogs.

Caution: Ensure that you also take a full backup since one f the archivelogs is not available in the backupsets and will limit your ability to do a complete recovery without it.

When we are taking archive log backup with delete then got an error.

RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process

archived log file name=/pac/lci9t1/arch/redo_1_16470_842608348.arc thread=1 sequence=16470

RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process

archived log file name=/pac/lci9t1/arch/redo_1_16471_842608348.arc thread=1 sequence=16471

RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process

SOLUTION:

Cause: The archive logs seems that it is not yet applied in the standby database.

                        Select sequence# , applied from v$archived_log;

Action: Check the standby database and apply the logs manually and the start the deletion process.

              I can delete the archive logs by force using the below command.

      RMAN > delete noprompt force archivelog all;

But I don’t want to delete the archives which are not applied in standby  so i’m changing the configuration

RMAN> show all;

Old configuration:

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default

Change as Below:

RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO STANDBY;

new RMAN configuration parameters:

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO STANDBY;

new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

RMAN-08591: WARNING: invalid archived log deletion policy


Now check the configuration
RMAN> show all;

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO SHIPPED TO STANDBY;

Now I am able to delete those archivelogs now.

RMAN> delete noprompt archivelog all;

RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;

Once I deleted those logs, I changed the rman configuration by the default one.

RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY CLEAR;

RMAN> Show all;
