DataGuard "MRP wait on archivelog arrival" wait event

RaphaelSJul 25 2016 — edited Jul 27 2016

Hello everyone, hope everything is fine.

I have the following scenario: RAC (with 2 nodes) + Single physical standby DataGuard instance, everything running on Oracle 11.2.0.3.0.

Recently, I've configured statspack to get snapshots from the dataguard instance, so I can study what can be done to improve performance there. Those are the first five wait events in the sb report:



Wait Events  DB/Inst: ARSDBSTB/ARSDBSTB  Snaps: 76-100
-> s - second, cs - centisecond,  ms - millisecond, us - microsecond
-> %Timeouts:  value of 0 indicates value was < .5%.  Value of null is truly 0
-> Only events with Total Wait Time (s) >= .001 are shown
-> ordered by Total Wait Time desc, Waits desc (idle events last)
                                                                           Avg
                                                       %Time Total Wait   wait
Event                                           Waits  -outs   Time (s)   (ms)
---------------------------------------- ------------ ------ ---------- ------
MRP wait on archivelog arrival                 84,095    100     84,098   1000
checkpoint completed                            5,568     58     20,252   3637
db file scattered read                     12,760,407      0     19,491      2
db file sequential read                    16,455,033      0     17,091      1
db file parallel read                          89,947      0     13,899    155



I've searched Google / MOS for info on the first event, but I haven't managed to find anything satisfactory yet. Is this an "Idle" wait event? (the wait class is "Other" according to V$SESSION_WAIT, but maybe that's incorrect).

If this is not an Idle event, do you guys have any tips about what can be done to reduce this wait time?

Thanks!
