completed -- we must wait until that checkpoint completes before we can reuse that file -- thats when this message is printed. during this time (when we cannot allocate a new log) processing is suspended in the database while the checkpoint is made to complete ASAP. The major way to relieve this is to have sufficient log to carry you through peak times. that way, we can complete the checkpoint while you are not busy. also make sure your checkpoints happen as fast as they can (eg: enable ASYNC IO or configure >1 DBWR if ansyc IO cannot be used, make sure disks are not contending with other apps and so on) Another way is to make the log files smaller, hence increasing the frequency with which we checkpoint (log checkpoint interval and other init.ora parameters achieve the same effect btw). I myself prefer to use a modest sized log file (around 25meg) and will add logfiles until these messages cease...

Check Point In Oracle
new log, sequence 201 Checkpoint not complete Reason Whenever a redo log switch occurs check restore point oracle i.e. current redo log group (suppose log group 1) is full and LGWR starts writing to the next available redo log checkpoint not complete in alert log file group (suppose log group 2), a CHECKPOINT also occurs which means that all database block changes which are in database buffer cache; and have not yet been written to the database files; should be https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:69012348056 written to the disk (datafiles) by the database writer process (DBWR). Now DBWR starts writing changed blocks to the datafiles and this redo log group (group 1) will no longer be available for the LGWR to reuse until DBWR completes writing all changed blocks from the buffer cache (buffer cache blocks which are related to the data changes recorded in this redo log group). Now if redo log http://salmandba.blogspot.com/2015/07/checkpoint-not-complete.html group 2 is also full and LGWR tries to allocate redo log group 1 again for writing; and DBWR has still not finished writing changed blocks to the data files, LGWR would need to wait, and message "Checkpoint no complete" would be written the alert log file. All transactions would hang here as these can't continue until LGWR is allocated next redo log group for writing. Solution Most of the time the solution of "checkpoint not complete" is to add more redo log groups in the database so that DBWR has enough time to write changed blocks from database buffer cache to the datafiles before LGWR tries to acquire same redo log group again. For example, if you have 2 redo log groups (group 1 and group 2) and you face checkpoint not complete warning, adding 2 more groups (group 3 and group 4) would mean that turn of a redo log group for writing by LGWR would come after longer time as compared to having only 2 log groups, and this would ensure that LGWR have enough free redo log groups available to be allocated and write rather than waiting for a redo log group to become available before it could be reuse

Checkpoint Not Complete in Alert Log File After Adding Archive lag target Dipti_Jadav asked Jul 27, 2012 | Replies (28) I am implementing manual standby for DR purpose using RMAN and its work properly and using oracle 11g Standard Edition on windows server 2008. Now archive generation on production database first is default that is when ever switch archive generated but in that in some time period archive generated after 2-3 hrs so I am adding archive_lag_target parameter with value 15min and I have 2 redo groups each having 2 files in a group with size 256MB. Now doing this changes I am founding "Checkpoint not complete" message in alert log file frequently. I had read on many sites that increase redo size but already redo size is of 256 MB so, how to find optimum redo size and what is solution for "Checkpoint not complete".. Please tell me. than
