Re: Alert.log - check point not complete???

Are you still having this problem? Do you have async_io=true in your init.ora? We were experiencing this same sort of problem, no matter how many log groups we had, log sizes of approx. 60M per member, and 5 groups. We found that we were performing quite a few checkpoints other than the log switches. i.e. We'd have approx. 60 log switches during nightly processing and thousands of checkpoints. We finally figured out that our DBWR was lazy or unable to keep up. We turned off async_io and set db_writers=4 and our problem mostly disappeared. We then increased db_writers=6 and then increased the log_buffer size and have not been experiencing this problem.
