Class of Wait Event

• Administrative: Waits resulting from DBA commands that cause users to wait (for example, an index rebuild)

• Application: Waits resulting from user application code (for example, lock waits caused by row level locking or explicit lock commands)

• Cluster: Waits related to cluster resources (for example, global cache resources )

• Commit: This wait class only comprises one wait event - wait for redo log write confirmation after a commit (that is, 'log file sync')

• Concurrency: Waits for internal database resources (for example, latches)

• Configuration: Waits caused by inadequate configuration of database or instance resources (for example, undersized log file sizes, shared pool size)

• Idle: Waits that signify the session is inactive, waiting for work (for example, 'gsql message from client')

• Network: Waits related to network messaging

• Other: Waits which should not typically occur on a system

• Scheduler: Resource manager related waits

• System IO: Waits for background process IO

• User IO: Waits for user IO
