Overview of the Next Generation Logger (NGL)

Next Generation Logger (NGL) technology allocates, initializes, and manages log files. NGL minimizes the cost of logging and the potential for resource contention.

The Next Generation Logger operates as agents within the DBC subsystems. Multiple NGL instances can be active that are uniquely identified by a product instance identifier (PIID). For example, the MainView Transaction Analyzer product might use NGL1 for the PIID, while the System and SQL Performance products use NGL2.

The FMID that corresponds to the NGL technology is ZNGLxxx, where xxx represents release number information.

Note

For information about maintaining and supporting NGL, see Working-with-the-Next-Generation-Logger-NGL. For information about using NGL with a particular product, see that product's documentation.
