windows script for deleting applied archives in standby database

#############################################################

windows:

There is a configuration file “E:\dba\orahome\mntdir\config\dba.xml” (you should replace { and } with the ones used in standard xml. I can not use them in this post, corrupts page)

 

{?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″ ?}

{config}

{general}

{archive_format}ARC_0628272535_001_SEQUENCE.ARC{/archive_format}

{archive_dir}E:\oracle\oradata\archive{/archive_dir}

{/general}

{stby}

{prodUser}dbuser{/prodUser}

{prodPass}password{/prodPass}

{prodTNS}PROD{/prodTNS}

{/stby}

{/config}

 

There is a file “E:\dba\orahome\stby\archive_last_deleted.txt” in which last deleted archived log’s sequence number is kept. At first it can be set as 1.

My scheduled vbs script “E:\dba\orahome\stby\stby_archclean.vbs” uses configuration file to connect primary site, query dataguard status and delete applied archived logs at standby server:
