We are using rman to manage our standby and primary. oracle does have a rman deletion policy to applied on standby..

I am wondering if anyone is relying on RMAN to delete standby/streams archive logs from both primary/standby?

I am talking about commands "delete obsolete" and RMAN CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY. I have examined Metalink doc 421176.1 and my impression is that custom scripts are more reliable method instead of RMAN.

The document itself is full of notes like:

"* This option will not delete archivelogs if they are needed by the Streams Capture process in that database, if the database is open. If the database is mounted or down, this option will not delete archivelogs needed by the local Streams Capture process in that database. NOTE:::: what happens with downstream capture? ", etc

Thank you in advance,
