Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Managing Archived Redo Logs
Yes, you need to establish some process to "manage" archived RedoLogs.
All archived RedoLogs accumulated between two consecutive online/hot
backups should be included into "backup" set. Then you can delete them
or keep for a while if space permits.
Read on backups for db in archivelog mode.

Subject: Managing Archived Redo Logs
I finally get to put our 8.1.7 on NT databases into archivelog mode. We have a third party app vendor that would not support us if I did this but I finally convinced them that is the way to go and it should not effect the app. Anyway, I am reading chapter 7 from the Administrators Guide, Managing Archived Redo Logs. I know I have to set the parameters in the init.ora to achieve automatic archiving;
log_archive_start=true log_archive_dest_1 = "location=my\disk\drive" log_archive_format=%%ORACLE_SID%%T%T%S.ARC -or somthing like that
One thing I don't see in TFM is, do these archived redo logs just keep accumulating in the destination directory set in the log_archive_dest_1 parameter? Do I need to create a process to get them to tape and then once on tape, delete these old archive redo logs through my process? I'm just excited to be able to finally go to archivelog mode. Once I get the basics down then I want to investigate using RMAN.
Thanks,
Dave
