We have a 9.2.0.4/AIX 5.2 shipping database that experiences periodic freezes, during "waves" when ship/print runs are generated. During these freezes, we typically see between 100-200 sessions waiting on various resmgr waits (fragment below), for up 4-5 minutes before they eventually clear out. Is there any tuning/tweaking I can do (other then disabling RM) to get around this? I did not define the plans, and the intent is that they are set up more to faciliate chargeback (via periodic scans of v$rsrc_consumer_group) then intended for actual resource control. Checking Metalink/Google has not come up with anything useful.
