Hi I would suggest to increase the redo log size. Doesn't effect you during daily operation, but prevents the database from hanging during nightly batches. No side effects I can think of (except for the fact that, of course, it will take you longer to backup the archived logs since the files are bigger, duh ;).

April 2003 10:04 An: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Betreff: Cannot allocate new log - checkpoint not complete I think I am having problems with my redologs. Under normal circumstances no errors arise, but if I do a massive import of data as I was doing last night, this is what alertSID.log shows from time to time: Wed Apr 2 23:29:52 2003 Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 557295 Current log# 3 seq# 557295 mem# 0: /baandata/oradata/baan/redobaan03.log Wed Apr 2 23:31:11 2003 Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 557296 Checkpoint not complete Current log# 3 seq# 557295 mem# 0: /baandata/oradata/baan/redobaan03.log Wed Apr 2 23:31:50 2003 In that exact time, everything freezes and the database is dead until a new redolog can be used. I have 3 redologs 50 Mb each. I've read that the error is because too much data is trying to get into the redologs and all of them are full, Oracle does not have the time to reuse a redolog and has to wait until the redolog is ready to be reused. So the solution seems to make these redolog files bigger or to create new ones. What are the side effects of one or the other? will performance under normal work be penalised? ..............................................
