Abstract: RMAN DELETES THE UNAPPLIED ARCHIVED REDO LOGS

PROBLEM:
--------
11.2.0.1 primary with physical standby
primary is enforced with below persistent configuration

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;

rman deletes the unapplied archived redo logs, when using "not backed up"
clause

backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input;

If we don't include "not backed up" cluase, it does not remove the unapplied
archived redo logs. rman reports the warning message correctly

RMAN-8120: WARNING: archived log not deleted, not yet applied by standby
