Description:
We have in the /exlibris/backups/conf/bkp_param.conf file set to:

setenv SUCCESS_BKPS 3

However, the backups are not getting deleted. We are having to do this manually.
Is there some other place that we need to set in order to delete these backups?

Resolution:
The SUCCESS_BKPS affects Oracle backups only; the non-Oracle backups need to be deleted manually.

The SUCCESS_BKPS parameter parameter is used by the /backup/scripts/oa_rman script when it has "DELETE INPUT":

if (($ORACLE_VERSION == 10)||($ORACLE_VERSION == 11)) then
set RMAN_BACKUP_STR = "BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT;"

If your script lacks this (and you are on v18-up), then you should add it.
