The rman_enabled configuration parameter determines whether or not Replication Agent truncates old archive log files using the Oracle RMAN utility. This parameter can be used only for Oracle data servers.
false
true – enables truncation of archive log files using the Oracle RMAN utility.
false – disables truncation of archive log files using the Oracle RMAN utility.
If both the rman_enabled and pdb_archive_remove parameters are set to true, Replication Agent uses the Oracle RMAN utility to remove old archive redo log files from the path specified by the pdb_archive_path parameter. If the rman_enabled parameter is set to false but the pdb_archive_remove parameter is set to true, Replication Agent uses file system operations to remove old archive redo log files from the path specified by the pdb_archive_path parameter.
When the rman_enabled parameter is set to true, the ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set in the runtime context of the Replication Agent process, and the rman_username and rman_password parameters must be properly configured.
The Oracle RMAN utility must be installed on the same machine as Replication Agent and must be compatible with the Oracle database that contains the archive log files being truncated.
A change to the rman_enabled parameter will take effect only after Replication Agent is suspended and resumed.
