i just want to share my case, about having problems with a disk space on R/3 server going full.

so i decided to delete archive log on oracle

step Configuration

the first thing to do is, find where the archive log is put

and after that you must use RMAN to delete the archive

on command promt. type this command RMAN

RMAN> run { allocate channel d1 type disk;

delete archivelog all;

release channel d1;

}

Best Regard’s
