This sound promising. What DML could cause log switch (other than "alter system 
switch logfile" and "alter system archive log ...")?

The issue happens during normal daily load.

It may be silly to mention this, however log switches can be caused by valid 
dml processing not just alter system switch logfile. I’ve found that increasing 
redo log size and redo log buffer often helps lower the number of Checkpoint 
not Complete.  Do you notice this issue during periods of high transaction load 
or batch load? Also, do you have fast_start_mttr_target set to a static value?

 The value of ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET is 0

Unfortunately the message "Thread X cannot allocate new log, sequence XXXX" is 
sometimes followed by "Checkpoint not complete". So I cannot ignore it easily. 
Yesterday there was a short but noticeable database hang at the same time when 
this happened.
