FND DEBUG / FND LOG MESSAGES

What is FND Debug Log ?

1. It helps you pinpoint the cause of error in standard Oracle Code, by making debug messages to appear in a centralized table named FND_LOG_MESSAGES. 
2. You can design and build your custom extensions in a manner that can easily be debugged. This can be done by calling Oracle delivered API’s in your custom code. 

 A program written in any technology, either form, report, PL/SQL, java concurrent program, OAF has their debug message stored in FND_LOG_MESSAGES.

How does this work? 

How to use FND debug Log to pinpoint the error?

Step 1: Set up profiles for the User / Responsibility to be used to reproduce the issue

FND: Debug Log Enabled -> YES This turns the debugging feature on
FND: Debug Log Filename -> NULL Use when you want debug messages to get stored to a file FND: Debug Log Level -> STATEMENT
FND: Debug log module -> %
If the error pertains to a specific module use the application short name.
Ex: For receivable use FND: Debug log module -> ar%

Log into the Oracle application

Step 2: Since the debugging routine will start writing messages to the table, we want to know which messages pertain to our test. If you are tracking the debug messages for a concurrent request, note down the Concurrent Request id. Otherwise, note down current max value of log sequence retrieved as follows :

SELECT MAX(LOG_SEQUENCE) FROM FND_LOG_MESSAGE 

Step 3: Run the test case, avoiding extraneous steps to avoid stacking the table.

Step 4:

a) For a concurrent process:

  SELECT LOG.module, LOG.MESSAGE_TEXT MESSAGE
    FROM fnd_log_messages LOG, fnd_log_transaction_context con
   WHERE     request_id = <Conc Req ID>
         AND con.transaction_type = 'REQUEST'
         AND con.transaction_context_id = LOG.transaction_context_id
ORDER BY LOG.log_sequence;


b) For any other debugging:

SELECT module, MESSAGE_TEXT
  FROM fnd_log_messages
 WHERE log_sequence = (SELECT MAX (LOG_SEQUENCE) FROM FND_LOG_MESSAGE);


 Obtaining the log messages via Oracle Application:

1) Query Profile: %FND%DEBUG%

2) Set the FND: Debug Log Enabled: Yes

3) System Administrator > Help > Debug Logging > View

4) set the values and run any concurrent program
5) Then navigate to the above screen and download the complete fnd log messages report by exporting as a CSV.

Debug : javax.servlet.http.httpservletrequest cannot be resolved

You can do either of the following to resolve this error.

• Right-click the project tab, click Properties.
• Choose Build Path -> Java Build Path

How to use plsql collections in select statment

Step 1 : Declare Collection type Globally

For Example:

 Test_Coll can be declared globally as "TYPE  Test_Coll IS TABLE OF INTEGER"

Step 2 :

DECLARE

 test_coll_tab  Test_Coll;
 MyName         VARCHAR2(100);

BEGIN

test_coll_tab =  Test_Coll();
test_coll_tab.extend;
test_coll_tab(1):=1;
test_coll_tab.extend;
test_coll_tab(2):=2;
test_coll_tab.extend;
test_coll_tab(3):=3; 
test_coll_tab.extend;
test_coll_tab(4):=4;
test_coll_tab.extend;
test_coll_tab(5):=5; 

 SELECT Name
      INTO MyName
    FROM Item
 WHERE ItemId NOT IN (select * from table(test_coll_tab));

How to send Concurrent Program output as an Email

There are two Methods to send Concurrent Program Output as Email

Method 1:

• The printer styles have to be configured to execute a shell script instead of sending the output to a physical printer. 
• The shell script then emails the concurrent program output to the intended recipient. 

Method 2: (Applicable R12.1.3 onwards)

With the R12.1.3 release, a hook to the BI Publisher Delivery Manager is available on the SRS window to send the output to IPP Printers, Email, Fax and FTP destinations.


Steps for Method 1
Step 1: Define/Query Printer Type: Define a new Printer Type or Query for an existing one. Responsibility: System Administrator Navigation: Install->Printer->Types

Step 2: Define Printer Style: Click on the ‘Style’ button in the Printer Types form (as seen in the previous screenshot). Create a new style and save it.

Step 3: Define Printer Driver: Click on ‘ Driver’ button in the Printer Types form. Specify Driver method as command. Specify the following in the arguments section: $XXCUST_TOP/bin/EMAIL.sh $PROFILES$.CONC_REQUEST_ID 30

Step 4: Mapping: Map the Printer Style and Printer Driver to the Printer Type.

Step 5: Install the Printer and map the Printer Type : Create a new printer and map the Printer Type created in the previous step.

Step 6: Attach the defined printer to the concurrent program: Navigation: Concurrent > Program > Define .Specify printer in Output section

Step 7: Running the Concurrent Program: Before clicking on the Submit button in the SRS window, specify non-zero value of no. of copies by clicking on the Options button.
This will invoke Printer.

Step 8: The sample shell script (email_conc_prog_output.sh) that is executed after the completion of the above steps is attached with the article.


Steps for Method 2

This feature is available in the new button ‘Delivery Opts’ as seen in the screenshot below.

On clicking the ‘Delivery Opts’ Button, a new form will pop up which will allow users to specific email addresses of the sender, recipient and carbon copy recipient (multiple emails can be specified separated by commas), subject of the email. This can be seen in the screenshot below.

The Email tab (as seen in the screenshot above) utilizes SMTP to communicate to a mail host which in turn sends the email to the recipients. The hostname and port of the mail host is configured via the profile values:
FND: SMTP Host and FND: SMTP Port
