This is Oracle 11.2.0.3 on windows platform.

We started getting following message this morning:

ORA-19815: WARNING: db_recovery_file_dest_size of 13958643712 bytes is 100.00% used, and has 0 remaining bytes available.

For now i've tried following actions but its just not working:

  1. Extending the value of db_recovery_file_dest_size as much as 4G to 13G
    --wutever the size i give it just fills within no time.
  2. Taking the backup to tape, deleting old archivelogs
  3. Crosscheck archivelogs, delete expired/obsolete ones
  4. Most important, as per MOS doc ID 293418.1, I took the backup of FRA and it did help for some time but now its 100% filled again.

Its barely 8GB size database.

Do I need to bounce DB at this point?

Below is my backup configuration:

CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE'; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO '%F'; # defa
