Recovering when the disk is full from transaction logs

This topic applies when using disk backups for an Oracle database.

When the disk where the transaction logs are stored is completely full, you receive an error message similar to the following:

ORA-00257: archiver is stuck. CONNECT INTERNAL only, until freed.

To recover when the disk is full from transaction logs

  1. Log in as the oracle user (Solaris) or the AgfaService user (Windows).

  2. In a command prompt, type

    rman target /

  3. To obtain a list of the archive logs on the system, type

    list archivelog all;

  4. Delete the archive logs by typing

    delete archivelog all;

  5. Type exit.

  6. Perform a manual database backup.
