Hello All, I am seeing the following message in lgwr tracefile along with 'log write time wait time' warnings: Warning: log write broadcast wait time 3000ms This is a RAC database (Version 11.1.0.7.9) We are using default BOC SCN scheme. My question is: In RAC, Can this wait time exacerbate problems of log file sync waits ? Any known conditions ? There are few bugs (e.g. 7716356) on MOS pointing to increase in log file sync waits due to BOC scheme, but i am unable to draw a clear picture in my mind about the whole mechanism of BOC and how can it impact log file sync. Any comments are welcome. Regards, Saurabh Manroy -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
