Archive log deletion policy

 I am testing a data guard setup which will eventually implemented in production environment. The idea is to have a logical standby as copy of production database to offload reporting load. The production database will be the primary. Currently, the production database creates archive logs in the flash recovery area. Every 3 hours, a Netbackup job copies these archive logs to tape and deletes them from flash recovery area. With logical standby in place, this strategy of archive log deletion will create a problem as the archive logs which have not been transported yet might get deleted.

What is the best way to get around this limitation without changing the archive log deletion policy? I did read about the RMAN configuration

Howdy, Stranger!
