We have collected AWR report during huge process which runs for nearly 4 hrs and in 30 parallel sessions.

From AWR report found that DB CPU wait class as follow

Wait Classes by Total Wait Time:

----
Wait Class Waits Total Wait Time (sec) Avg Wait (ms) % DB time Avg Active Sessions
DB CPU 107,579 63.8 6.0
----

How to reduce this Total Wait Time? What we need to check for the same in AWR report?

Kindly advice.

DB CPU is ot a real wait class, it is the time you spent on CPU that is actually working.
If you want to reduce it then reduce the work you ask the database to do.

63.8% is not bad for CPU time. I would be nice to get it a bit higher, if you think that there is a problem. But you do have to define the problem. I do not think that any of your users have telephoned you to complain that "DB CPU wait class percentage is bad". What are they complaining about?

Your SQL statement's runtime is the sum of the time on the CPU and the sum of the total wait time. Many people focus on the wait time end of the equation. But I've seen many SQL statements that have a lot of CPU time and very little wait time.

Remember that there are two types of I/O, physical and logical. Physical I/O will show up as different wait events. Logical I/O will show up as CPU cycles. Reduce the logical I/O and the CPU consumption will go down. I often see this when a query is showing a very high number of logical reads, for example, the query is performing too many full table scans that the tables involved are all in the Buffer Cache.

Cheers,
Brian

How was 30 parallel session deemed as optimal?
Why not a higher or lower number?

How many CPU/core exist in the server system?

30 parallel sessions.

30 parallel sessions? Seriously?

I mean for 30 parallel sessions, you need to have a big time hardware and infrastructure. Have a look at this and this.
