New Attention Log for Efficient Critical Issue Resolution
Diagnosability of database issues is enhanced through a new attention log, as well as classification of information written to database trace files. The new attention log is written in a structured format (XML or JSON) that is much easier to process or interpret and only contains information that requires attention from an administrator. The contents of trace files now contains information that enables much easier classification of trace messages, such as for security and sensitivity.
Enhanced diagnosability features simplify database administration and improve data security.
