Overview of Data Collector reporting

Many Db2 performance problems cannot be recognized by obvious real-time symptoms.

A detailed analysis is often required, using data that has been obtained over long periods of time. Where there is a large volume of data to analyze, a printed report is easier to read than an online report that requires scrolling through many screens. The Data Collector reports address this issue by providing printed reports from a batch job.

Data Collector reporting is accomplished by using the following utilities:

  • The Next Generation Logger (NGL) logs and retrieves data based on application-defined keys and a time span. NGL runs as a service within the BMC Execution Component for z/OS (DBC) subsystem, and relies on the Runtime Component System (RTCS) for registry services. DBC can support one or more instances of NGL. Each instance can support multiple LOGSETs, which are groups of z/OS linear data sets (or logfiles) in which NGL stores data records. Various BMC mainframe products use NGL LOGSETs for their logging requirements.
  • The DOMBRPT1 utility produces printed reports from a batch job by using external data sets as input or by using data obtained from the online active data sets. For more information, see DOMBRPT1-utility.
