  <li>
    <p><code>Default</code></p>

```
New-VBROracleProcessingOptions [-Credentials <CCredentials>] -ArchivedLogAction <VBROracleArchivedLogAction>
 [-ArchiveLogDeletionPeriod <Int32>] [-ArchiveLogDeletionSize <Int32>] [-EnableArchiveLogBackup]
 [-ArchiveLogBackupPeriod <Int32>] [-ArchiveLogRetainAction <VBRLogRetainAction>]
 [-ArchiveLogRetainPeriod <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>Lunix MbA</code></p>

```
New-VBROracleProcessingOptions -Credentials <CCredentials> [<CommonParameters>]

## Output Object
This cmdlet returns the `VBROracleProcessingOptions` object that contains settings for processing Oracle database archived logs.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Creating Oracle Processing Settings for Veeam Agent Backup Job (Linux)

This example shows how to create Oracle processing settings for a Veeam Agent job that backs up Linux computers.

```
$creds = Get-VBRCredentials
New-VBROracleProcessingOptions -Credentials $creds
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCredentials`](get-vbrcredentials.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$creds` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBROracleProcessingOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$creds` variable as the `Credentials` parameter value.

::: example
### Example 2. Creating Oracle Processing Settings for Veeam Agent Backup Job (Windows)

This command creates Oracle processing settings for a Veeam Agent job that backs up Windows computers. The job will run with the following options:

- Veeam Backup & Replication will trigger the truncation of the logs if they exceed 17 GB.
- Veeam Backup & Replication will back up the archived logs every 25 minutes.

```
New-VBROracleProcessingOptions -ArchivedLogAction DeleteBySize -ArchiveLogDeletionSize 17 -ArchiveLogBackupPeriod 25 -ArchiveLogRetainAction -EnableArchiveLogBackup
```
