Debugging Remote Form

I saw a post that mentioned debugging a remote from so I checked the help out and it looks like a very useful capability, however I have a single form that acts as a menu that calls other forms is there anyway to use this remote debugging capabilty with a called form?

yes, just make sure you "attach debug" to the called form in the form builder.

How can i debug a Form in 6i environment

I want to debug a form in 6i environment. WIth trace utility can i do it?if yes pls help me in this

Why not just use the "Run Form Debug" toolbar button or Program => Run Form => Debug? Just simply type "break;" in the trigger or Program Unit you want the Debugger to break in and step through the code to see what is happening. Running the Form in Diagnostics Mode as Draji suggests is an excellent option as well, but reading the output file can be a bit daunting and doesn't let you "See" what your code is doing. The Forms debugger is an excellent tool. It is well worth learning how to use.
You can also turn Debug Messages on - which basically just displays an alert with the name of each trigger that executes. You can turn on the Debug Messages from: Tools => Preferences => Runtime tab => Debug Messages checkbox.
Hope this helps.

Do EJB's have to be debugged remotely?

Do EJB's have to be debugged remotely?

You can debug EJBs locally in the IDE as well.
Place breakpoint in the bean class of the EJB
Select EJB node in the project.
Right mouse and Select Debug.
Right mouse on EJB and generate sample client.
Choose Embedded OC4J Server option.
Modify client as appropriate.
Place breakpoint in the client code.
Right mouse on the client and select debug.
Now you can step into the client and server (EJB) code.
Note: You can also debug EJBs deployed on remote appservers.

Debugging in FORMS 6i

What are the steps to debugging in FORMS 6i? I am receiving the following message:
FRM-40735 ON-ERROR ORA-6508.
Thanks.
Jaffee

To add to Nisar's suggestions, also make sure the procedures / packages in your database are intact. You get this error message even if the db packages / procedures are dropped / invalid.
To find that, you may want to compile your form and see the compilation error you are getting. It would clearly tell which procedure / package is invalid / missing.

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL

How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL.
My server OS is Unix. So i could not able to do the Debug Forms from the Form Developer.
It is displaying a message that "Cannot find the module". Becuase the system is trying find out the module in Unix system instead of ma local system(Windows).
I need to debug ma module through URL.
I can place the fmb and fmx in predefined form path in Server.
Please help me out to solve this issue..

This is a little unclear. If your goal is to use the Forms Builder Debugger while running your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must first be in running order. So before trying to attach the debugger you must first be able to start it without the debugger. For example:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX
Once this is properly running you can turn on debugging. If your form won't even start, then using the Debugger isn't going to help you because it is designed to troubleshoot coding problems and not configuration problems.
So, do this to use the Debugger:
http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX&debug=yes
This will display a dialog box with some information. Do not click on OK yet as you will need this information to enter into the Forms Builder. Now, open the Forms Builder and click on Debug > Attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog where you attempted to start the form. Enter it here (in the Builder) then click on ok in both places. To display the Debugger (in the Builder), click on Debug > Debug Console. Then from its toolbar click on the buttons related to what you want to monitor. Including a break point in your application code is often a more helpful way to use the debugger.
Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder Online Help
Forgot to mention...
To debug runtime issues, refer to the Forms Deployment Guide here (this assumes you are using 11.1.2):

How to debug Adobe form attached to Web Dynpro for ABAP

Hi,
My developer has created an adobe form and rendered inside a Web Dynpro page in the SAP Portal. It communicates with the Web Dynpro framework in the backend SAP system (Web Dynpro for ABAP).
My question is, how would I know what infotype access this form requires, in the form of backend authorization role? Is there any way (not trace, ST01) to debug Abobe form on Portal or in backend SAP system?
Thanks,
Karan.

Yes, that's possible since the trace also records the information on the ABAP source code location where the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement (or other ABAP statements which internally trigger authorization checks) is executed. If I'm not wrong then there is a button (in ST05) which allows a direct source code navigation. Alternatively you might just click on the ABAP source code information displayed in the ST05 trace results (for recorded authorization checks).

DEBUGGING D2K FORMS AT RUNTIME

HI,
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DEBUG THE D2K_FORMS IN BREAK-MODE (similar to VB!). IF IT IS POSSIBLE, THEN HOW?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Sudhakar,
Never mind the wrong forum... Yes, you can debug a form. Open the .fmb file in Forms Builder, make sure you have a connection to a schema that contains the tables/procedures you access in your forms and use the debug mode.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

Please help me on Debugging the Form

Hi All,.
Can anyone please give the steps for Debugging the Form:

-what are the triggers firing in the backend
- What are the Program Units are calling
-What is complete flow,..
-How the data get populated on to the screen from backend
Please give the complete steps, coz i am new to the Forms & Resports.
Please help me on this with complete steps & Documentation.
Thanks,
grac

hi
i hope it will help u too.
here is the instructions.
-Click on Button “Debug” on toolbar of forms, (icon like a “bug”), will active debug_mode;
2-Execute the forms (Run);
3-The Forms will show a windows “Forms Debugger” with 3 panels: -The first is “SOURCE PANE”, showing your source code of procedure or trigger that is running; - The second, is “Navigator Pane”, shows a tree of objects to debug; - The third is “INTERPRETER PANE”, where you do pl/sql code to run; Go to second frame(Navigator Pane) and expand node “+MODULE”, select your forms module(click on it);
4-Open the tree, navigate until your trigger that you want to debug (or to debug ALL CODE select menu “DEBUG” -> “Trigger” and choose Location=”Every Statement”, and write “raise debug.break;” on field trigger_boddy)
5-If you want to debug a specific trigger of a text_item, go to block, select the text_item, then select the trigger, the source code will show in “source pane”;
6-Go to menu “DEBUG” -> “TRIGGER” and write “raise debug.break;” on field trigger_boddy (or do a double click over a line code that can be debuged); When the forms run, and run this trigger, the run mode will be “suspend” and forms return to this page of “DEBUG”, where you can view values of any variable, values of block_itens, values of SYSTEM variables and go to a “step by step” running your code line to line, and view changes on variables;
7-In this step, you setup the debugger, to run now, click on red “X” to close debugger, the forms will be run;
8-You go run until the code marked to break; The cursor will stop on first line that is running (Source pane) with a signal => on the line;
9-Now you can run line by line; entire block or return to normal run (see buttons enables);
When debugging, explore the Navigator, and see anothers variables values like :system.current_record; :system.record_status; :sytem.message_level; Global variableshttp://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/140073/0/

Debugging a form?

How do you debug a form that calls another form? ie. Step through the one form, then the other is called, and you continue to debug the other in whatever startup code is firing.
How can I turn on a TRACE during a forms session so I can see all the DML activity that is being performed by a single user for debugging purposes? Does this require external tools?
null

Really funny thing.
I had some forms that, after being called from other forms with open_form(my_form, activate, session) they just couldn't return control to the form that called them and thus made the made Forms runtime succumb.
Whn called using call_form, those worked OK.
As for debugging the called forms, I wish I knew how to.
Moreover, I seldom use the debugger, for it appears to me more effective to put here & there some messages that tell me how things work.

Can you "debug" a form when running on the App. Server?

We recently got a project to do defect fixing of a Oracle Forms 10g application.
They have given us each developer a VM with an app. server, source code etc.
Problem is, we cannot run the form using the Form Builder.
They want us to always make changes to the form, deploy in the app. server and run the form using the Application Menu.
Problem is, how can we do line-by-line debugging in a situation like this?
Normally, we would press the "Run form debug" button to run the form in Forms developer in debug mode.
What is the solution?
Should we ask the owners to give us permission to run the form from Developer?
Or, is there way to do debugging a form when running from app. server?

So Craig, why is it prompting me with a File Open dialog box when it tries to run a DB procedure?
What does the Forms debugger supposed to do? Run it and bring back result?
Because Forms doesn't know how to load the object so it is prompting you to open it. However, since the Forms debugger can't read the source of the database program unit (procedure, package, function) - you can't debug it from Forms. At least, I've never been able to do it and I've tried making Forms open a source file for a database program unit. It basically boils down to the fact that Oracle Forms can only debug objects that are within the scope of the Forms runtime/builder and database program units are not contained within the Forms objects (eg; Forms binary, PL/SQL Library or Menu Module binary). I recommend you "Step-Over" any call to a database program unit when you encounter them in the Forms debugger. The database program unit will take longer than normal to run, but it will eventually finish and take you to the next line of code to be executed.

How to debug a form (servlet) in the Forms and Reports Server

Hi:
I have a new install of an application that ran perfectly on a different host using the Forms and Reports Server.
I have installed the FRS on the new host and it is working fine. I can run the test form.
When I run my actual forms app, I only get a blank screen in the browser and on the status bar it reports "Applet Started'.
Is there a way I can turn on debugging or something so I can see at what point it is failing or why the form is not opening properly?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Bruce

Thanks for the reply Frank. I have looked all through the Start menu but see no "Configuration and Migration". I assume it's because I only installed the Forms and Reports option, so I only have Forms Services, Reports Services, and the Universal Installer. No big deal - I've already setup tnsnames manually. I just like to use the Net Assistant when I can.

How To Debug Adobe Form in Production ?

Hi gurus,
Could anybody please help to debug a adobe form in production system. what is the procedure to debug in production.
Thanks & Regards,
Suman Kumar

You need to save the set (XML-DATA) and after it you can redo the form in your developing-system.
There is just on important thing to know, the interface isn't allowed to change during this process.
You have to search for it.
My key-words would be something like "using preview / xml download preview".
If you do not find a solution, I recommend you to invest in this book It saved my life more than one time in the past

Debug many forms in Oracle 6i

I do not write very good English. I hope that I can describe my problem.
I would like to debag my application in Forms 6i. The application has many forms and would like to follow the code execution.
Unfortunately, in the Form Builder (version 6i) I can debug only one form. I would first form will run in debug, and then set a breakpoint in another form. Is this possible in Oracle Forms 6i?

ifrun60.EXE your_form.fmx record=collect log=c:\log_file.logBetter known as "Forms Runtime Diagnostics", this will produce a log file of everthing that occurs in the Forms Session. I suggest you start with one Form and then review the log file to familiarize yourself with the log file output. This log file will include everything from rendering an item on a canvas to querying data to execution of triggers and program units, but it is very criptic. It is also very useful and I have solved numerous issues using this method, but it is not an easy method to use since the output is difficult to follow. Like I said, log a single form; look at the log file and make sure you can follow the change of events and then run your application.
