在oracle10g 11g 中 归档删除策略 缺省是没有配置的；
那么这时去删除未应用过的的归档日志会是怎么一种情况：
RMAN> delete archivelog all;
released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=60 device type=DISK
RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process
archived log file name=/u01/app/ora11/flash_recovery_area/1_2019_822927217.dbf thread=1 sequence=2019
RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process
archived log file name=/u01/app/ora11/flash_recovery_area/1_2023_822927217.dbf thread=1 sequence=2023
RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process
oracle 抛出报警；warning 归档日志没有删除，归档日志需要用作standby 或者 stream 捕获进程使用
关于rman中这个配置策略：
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
不是自动删除归档。而是删除的时候确认归档已经被DATA GUARD、流环境所应用。这个功能的目的是避免删除其他功能所需要的归档日志。
如果配置归档删除策略：
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO ‘/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home/dbs/snapcf_oradb1.f‘; # default
尝试删除归档日志：
RMAN> delete archivelog all;
released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=27 instance=oradb1 device type=DISK
