If the report was creating a large output file on the client (remote) PC,
that would explain
the waits on SQL*Net message from client.  [the client would be SQL*Plus or
Reports
on the PC].  Depending on the network latency, the perceived runtime of the
report
can vary between sites.
Does the report file have to be created on the client PCs ?
Can you run it as a server process, ZIP the output file on the server and
then FTP it
to the clients ?

If the report has to run from the PC, try tuning SQLNet  (SDU, TDU) and the
Buffer size.
If you are using SQL*Plus, just doing a SET TERMOUT OFF with a SPOOL
<myoutputfile>
will  make a big difference.

Thanks to everyone who responded. The database is centralized. Yesterday I
PINGed some machines in different offices (and TRACERTed, too) right from
the server, and the response time was under 100 msec. However, some offices
reported it to have run normally. That particular report creates a big file
on C: (local machine) which raises the question if the machine had enough
space on that drive and how fragmented it was... Oh, users....
Best regards to everyone,
Sergey

Are you using remote connections to a centralized database, or does each
office have its own database?

Tracert and netstat commands should help you figure out if its a network
issue.

Hi, ladies and gentlemen,
Here is a good one. We have 25 offices nation wide, running similar
reports. At the headquarters the one in consideration takes 12 min to
complete. Any other office (WAN) it gets stuck and takes a few hours if it
completes at all. Here is the output from V$SESSION_WAIT for the session:
  SID       SEQ#  EVENT                      P1TEXT             P1  P1RAW
P2TEXT             P2  P2RAW     P3TEXT             P3  P3RAW     WAIT_TIME
SEC_WT  STATE
-----  ---------  -------------------------  ----------  ---------
--------  ----------  ---------  --------  ----------  ---------  --------
---------  ------  ---------
   82      31384  SQL*Net message from clie  driver id   675562835
28444553  #bytes              1  00000001                      0  00
0       0  WAITING
After some time:

  SID       SEQ#  EVENT                      P1TEXT             P1  P1RAW
P2TEXT             P2  P2RAW     P3TEXT             P3  P3RAW     WAIT_TIME
SEC_WT  STATE
-----  ---------  -------------------------  ----------  ---------
--------  ----------  ---------  --------  ----------  ---------  --------
---------  ------  --------
   82      33799  SQL*Net message from clie  driver id   675562835
28444553  #bytes              1  00000001                      0  00
0       0  WAITING

and so on.(SEQ# increases and then resets).

At the headquarters (LAN) it shows the same event after scattered read and
it is done. Could that be a SQL*Net issue between LAN and WAN?
Any ideas are appreciated as always.
TIA,
Sergey
