Archived Log Deletion

Archived Log Deletion is a feature for Oracle database server to automatically delete the archived logs that are older than the specific period.

Archived Log Deletion feature applies Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) to work. After a backup job, RMAN will automatically match and remove the archived logs that are older than the specific days. For example, the period limit is set to 3 days, then after a backup, RMAN will automatically match and remove the archived logs older than 3 days. Please refer to the following URL for further details about RMAN: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/rman-overview-096633.html

Please kindly note that if you find "[Delete archived logs] specification does not match any archived log in the repository" sentence in the backup log, it means there is no archived logs older than the setting specific period. For example, the period limit is set to 3 days, "[Delete archived logs]specification does not match any archived log in the repository" means there is no archived logs older than 3 days, so no archived log will be removed.

To enable archived log deletion:

  1. Slide the switch to right hand side to turn on the archived log deletion.
  2. Changed the value of "Delete archived logs that are older than the following days" if required. Default setting is 60 days.
  3. Click [Save] to save the settings.
