Log File Switch Completion (Checkpoint Incomplete)

The cause for this wait event is same as mentioned here. When you see the log file switch completion wait event you will most likely see the checkpoint incomplete wait event. During the log switch a checkpoint occurs. The checkpoint signals the DBWr to write the dirty buffers to the data files.

The difference between log file switch completion and log file switch completion (Checkpoint Incomplete) wait event is, in the case of former wait event the users wait for the Log writer background process (LGWr) to complete its work (log switch). In the case of latter wait event the users wait for the Database Writer background process (DBWr) to complete its work (checkpoint).

Tuning option

Increase the size of redo log files. Increase the number of redo log groups.
