The archivelogs have to have been backed up by rman for rman to delete them.  Thisscript is the one we use. 
 
  execute script alloc_name1_disk;
  backup
    format '/dbback/al_%sdbname_%p'
    (archivelog all
     delete input);
  execute script rel_pa1_disk;
}

Subject: RMAN: delete archivelog... backed up 1 times to tape

I am trying to use the DELETE ARCHIVELOG command that is available in
version 9.2.0.1. The complete syntax I wish to use is this command:
       RMAN>    delete archivelog until time 'trunc(sysdate)-2' backed up 1
times to tape;

I have tried this as part of a backup script and as a standalone command
after allocating a maintenance channel, but it doesn't work.  Furthermore,
this command DOES NOT return records:

       RMAN> list archivelog all backed up 1 times to tape;

But this command DOES return records:

      RMAN> list archivelog all backed up 0 times to tape;

I know I have backups of archivelogs on tape because they are reported when
I issue this command:

      RMAN> list backup of archivelog from time 'sysdate-3' device type sbt;


Does anyone know what is going on here?


Thanks,

Ed
