How to launch a Forms 11g manual trace without using Enterprise Manager:<\/p>\n
1. Launch Forms Trace: Open your forms application; however, for the URL simply add the following parameters to the end of your Forms URL \u201c&record=forms&tracegroup=debug\u201d.<\/p>\n
2. Reproduce the error that you are trying to debug<\/p>\n
3. Open Command Prompt or your SSH terminal<\/p>\n
4. Go to %MIDDLEWARE_HOME%\\user_projects\\domains\\%domain_name%\\bin, and run setDomainEnv.cmd (In Unix, run $MIDDLEWARE_HOME\/user_projects\/domains\/$DOMAIN_NAME\/bin\/setDomainEnv.sh<\/p>\n
5. Update CLASSPATH in your Command Prompt session (or SSH session):<\/p>\n
a. Set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\\Oracle\\Middleware\\as_1\\jlib\\frmxlate.jar (In Unix, run: export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:\/oracle\/middleware\/as_1\/jlib\/frmxlate.jar)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
b. Go to C:\\Oracle\\Middleware\\asinst_1\\FormsComponent\\forms\\trace (\/oracle\/middleware\/asinst_1\/FormsComponent\/forms\/trace)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
6. You should see a forms_%pid_number%.trc, for example say the pid number for your forms session is 1234, the file will be forms_1234.trc. However, this file is not in a friendly format; thus we can convert it to a text file.<\/p>\n
7. java oracle.forms.diagnostics.Xlate datafile=trace_file.trc outputfile=my_text_file.txt outputclass=WriteOutTEXT
\nFor example,
\njava oracle.forms.diagnostics.Xlate datafile=forms_1234.trc outputfile=forms_1234.txt outputclass=WriteOutTEXT<\/p>\n8. Running this command will convert the trace file to text format. Now you can open and view the trace file.<\/p>\n
