Hello everybody,
I dropped a standby database 2 days ago (really dropped it, with DROP DB statement),
after I had disabled DataGuard broker on both the primary and its standby (set dg_broker_start
parameter to false).
Since then when backing up the primary DB or its archives (and then trying to delete them),
I constantly get
RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process
and RMAN does not get rid of my archive logs.
I thought it was enough to disable dg_broker_start in order to have RMAN delete my archived logs
for good, but obviously it is not: what extra op should I carry out ? How can you manage to have
an ex-primary DB to completely 'forget' and 'ignore' it's been a primary earlier, like if it never has ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Seb
