Oracle HRMS Form Trace

The following instrcutions help to setup HRMS Form Trace:

• Log into the application, using HRMS Responsibility and Security Group the end user specifies, for the instance you wish to perform a trace for.
  Navigate to the form where the trace needs to occur. Determine if the HR Trace option is already available via the Tools menu. If unavailable, do the following:
• Select Help->Diagnostics->Examine. Set Block to “$ENVIRONMENT$”, Field to “HRDBGOPT”, and Value to “ON”.
• (Note: The Field value “HRDBGOPT” will not be found in the drop down list of values. Simply type it in the Field text box directly. This will result in an error which you should disregard. )
• Click OK, then exit and re-enter the form. (The HR Trace option should now be available via the Tools menu.)
• Select ToolsHR Trace . Click on Trace File and note down the trace file given, then close the HR Trace pop-up window by clicking on the X button.
• Perform the function for which you needed a trace.
• You can go to ToolsHRTrace and then click “None” to switch off the trace.
  Turn off the trace immediately as you get the error to easily nail the error.

Remember that trace is always costly and will affect performance , and also the log file will get pretty big, if you do not turn off the trace in time!
