8.3 Starting Forms Trace

You start a trace by specifying trace entries in the URL or from Enterprise Manager Application Server Control Console. Entries should include the grouping of events to collect and the trace file name. Trace collection starts when the form executes.

Note:

You'll need to provide the credentials in the dialog box that displays (the user name and password that is required is for the operating system account that was used when Forms Services was installed).

The following are sample URLs to start a trace:

http://cx-pc/forms/frmservlet?form=cxl&record=forms&tracegroup=0-199
http://cx-pc/forms/frmservlet?form=cxl&record=forms&tracegroup=mysql
http://cx-pc/forms/frmservlet?form=cxl&record=forms&tracegroup=0-199;log=run1.log

A later release of Oracle Forms will implement a method for starting a trace via a built-in. The most recent information regarding Oracle Forms, including updated documentation, whitepapers, and viewlet demonstrations, is available on OTN at http:/www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/.
