Seeing messages like this in the alert log showing files being deleted from the flash recovery area (FRA) and wondering what is happening?
They cannot understand why this was done. Space pressure?
There was 20% free in the FRA before, during, and after we restored the logs.
Why was Oracle automatically deleting these archivelogs that we needed?
The db_recovery_file_dest_size is correct and matches the disk group size perfectly.
Changes
They had restored some archivelogs that had been deleted, as a the Goldengate product needed them.
After restoring the archivelogs they needed, they noticed that the +FRA diskgroup was still at 20% free.
All of the requested logs were now on disk again. Later, though, when trying to access some of the
very same restored archivelogs, they found they had been mysteriously deleted.
