Symptoms
If CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY
and then backing up archived logs with option NOT BACKED UP <n> TIMES DELETE INPUT is executed from Primary,
archived logs which have been backed up and not yet APPLIED on Standby are incorrectly deleted.
The configured ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY is ignored.
From RMAN output we see the archives are deleted after backup:
RMAN> backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input;
...
RMAN-8071: channel ORA_DISK_1: deleting archived log(s)
name=/<DIR>/2010_09_16/<FILE_NAME>.arc
We also see RMAN configuration showing:
From primary we see on V$ARCHIVED_LOG the archivelogs having APPLIED column in NO, but still Deleted:
from v$archived_log where sequence#=1621 and thread#=1;
SEQUENCE# THREAD# CREATOR ARCHIVED APPLIED DELETED STATUS
