Symptoms

You most likely hit this Problem in the affected Versions if the following Symptoms are matching your Situation:

  • Data Guard Environment with a Physical or Logical Standby Database in Place
  • Log Transport and Log Apply Services appear to be up and running
  • Even Data Guard Broker (if used) does not show any Errors
  • RMAN does not delete ArchiveLogs on Primary Database although they have been successfully applied on the Standby Database (Typically RMAN-8120 is raised when it attempts to delete the Archive Log)
  • When querying v$archived_log on the Primary Database we can find that the 'APPLIED' column does not get updated any more and still shows 'NO' for recent Archive Logs.
