Hopefully this is a quick answer.
For a number of years we have been running MS Windows policys to backup the Oracle translogs. This worked fine without any problems. However now the backup is picking up the log that is being created at the time the backup is run, the open file.
We are being told that we need to change the policy type to Oracle, but are not being given an explanation as to why it worked previously, and why we need to make the change.
Can you tell me is this standard practice. I've had a quick look at documentation but can't find the relevant part. Also can you confirm if the logs will automatically purge after the backup. This is currently being done by a third party applicaiton which my customer wishes to continue to use
thanks in advance
