Support less than 1 day of Oracle archlogs to be kept on system

ISPP leaves a archive logs on an Oracle system for a certain amount of time, which is needed for recovery, altough Logs are also stored in ISPP on the vSnap share.
Unfortunately this amount of time is set in days, so the least time is one day, which can be a huge amount of data on highly loaded systems.

In our environment oracle systems only need to have enough archive log space to survive for one day without a backup. This won't be enough if we move to ISPP - it will always be 1 day (from above) plus X hours till the next full backup.

It would be great to set this value in hours - so we can have 12 or 6 hours of logs stored additionally on the oracle system.

____
This value can be set at:
Manage Protection -> Databases -> Oracle -> Options
"Primary log retention in days"

    Hi Development team,

    Its a long time but still solution is not provided. Due to this Our Oracle servers are impacted a lot. Other backup tools are providing better functionality in this case. So pls provide this functionality ASAP so that we can utilize it.
