Forms Tracing Apps R12

2.1.1 Steps to Activate Forms Trace using Application Profiles

Note: Forms Trace should only be activated as and when required, and for specific users.

Forms Level Activation

1. Sign on to Oracle Applications as a user with the System Administrator responsibility.
   
2. Select the System Administrator responsibility.
   
3. Select the Profile -> System function (this will launch Forms).
   
4. Search for the Applications user and the profile option Forms Runtime Parameters.
   
5. Add the required parameters, using the syntax: record=forms tracegroup=<value(s)>.
   Examples:
   
   record=forms tracegroup=0-97
   record=forms tracegroup=medium
   
   Note the space between the parameter/value pairs.
   
6. Commit the changes and log out of Applications.
   
7. Log in to Applications as the user whose Forms Runtime Parameters profile option was amended.

The forms trace file will be written to the $FORMS_TRACE_DIR directory. By default, this directory is named forms_<pid>.trc, where <pid> is the process identifier.
