  • Active runtime: Loggers that are automatically created during runtime and become active when a particular feature area is exercised (for example, soa.b2b or oracle.soa.bpel). Their log levels are not persisted across component restarts.
• A table that displays the logger name, Oracle Diagnostic Logging (ODL) level for setting the amount and type of information to write to a log file, the log file, and the log level state.
