DB11175 - Details

• The SAP error message DB11175, which indicates a wait event for "log file switch (checkpoint incomplete)," typically occurs in Oracle databases used with SAP systems.

  High Transaction Volume: A high volume of transactions can lead to a backlog in the checkpoint process, causing delays in log file switching.
  Insufficient I/O Performance: If the disk I/O performance is poor, it can slow down the checkpoint process, leading to this wait event.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect database
