RMAN Does Not Delete The Obsolete Archivelog Due To Incomplete Full Backup (Doc ID 2448376.1)

Last updated on JULY 20, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.4 [Release 11.2]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

1. The database takes a daily full backup and archivelog backup. The retention policy is set to "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;"

2. It's observed that RMAN "delete noprompt obsolete;" would delete the database backup beyond the retention policy (older than 7 days). But NO  archivelog was deleted.

3. From the RMAN debug trace of "report obsolete;", we can find that lbRlKeepSCN is set to 8 when the datafile 1 was created.
