一、环境描述
12c 变化很大，目前上线的系统越来越多，大家需要不断更新自己的知识库。

On : 12.1.0.2 version, RAC 
can't delete archivelog 

ERROR 
----------------------- 
RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process 
archived log file name=+ARCHDG/ESBDG/ARCHIVELOG/2018_01_11/thread_1_seq_1416.987.965165573 thread=1 sequence=1416 
RMAN-08137: WARNING: archived log not deleted, needed for standby or upstream capture process 
archived log file

二、处理过程
1、备库无法删除归档可能是日志没有应用
2、参数设置不当，本例是参数设置问题
