To effectively troubleshoot any issues or exceptions encountered at design time during each stage of service generation and deployment life cycle including generating, deploying, retiring, resetting, and activating services, error messages and activity information can be logged and viewed through the interface details page.
Note: Logging is supported for SOAP services only.
If the design-time log is enabled for an interface, View Log appears in that interface details page allowing you to view both log messages and error messages if occurred during design time.
If the design-time log is not enabled for an interface, and errors occurred while performing the design-time activities, View Error appears instead allowing you to view the error messages only.
For information on how to enable the design-time log for an interface, see Adding a New Configuration.
Viewing Error and Log Details from the View Log Button
If an interface has the design-time log enabled, View Log appears in the interface details page allowing you to access the Log & Error Details page.
The Log & Error Details page contains the following regions:
Error Details region: If any errors or exceptions encountered during the design-time activities such as Generate, Deploy, Undeploy, Reset, Retire, and Activate services, error messages are displayed in the Error Details region.
Log Details region: All design-time logs recorded for the selected service are listed in the table. Each log contains log sequence, log timestamp, module, log level, and actual message recorded at the design time.
Deleting and Exporting Logs in the Log Details Region
After viewing log messages retrieved for an interface in the Log Details region, you can delete them if needed by clicking Delete Log. A warning message appears alerting you that this will permanently delete all the logs retrieved in the region. Click Yes to confirm the action. An empty log table appears after logs have been successfully deleted.
Before deleting the logs, you can save a backup copy by clicking Export. This allows you to export the records listed in the Log Details region to Microsoft Excel and use it later.
Viewing Error Details from the View Error Button
If the selected interface does not have the design-time log enabled, and if any errors occurred during design-time activities, View Error appears instead allowing you to view only the error or exception messages displayed in the Error Details region.
For example, if the administrator receives errors or exceptions while trying to perform any actions at design time such as Generate, Deploy, Activate, Retire, or Reset for an interface, these errors are recorded and displayed in the Error Details region even if the design-time log is not configured for the interface.
For error messages, error codes, and possible solutions, see Error Messages.
The Log Details region will not appear in this page because the design-time log is not configured for the selected interface.
For more logging information, see Logging for Web Services. For information on how to add a new configuration, see Adding a New Configuration.
At run time during the invocation of Oracle E-Business Suite services by Web service clients, if a service has the runtime log enabled, log messages can be viewed in Service Monitor against that instance. For information on viewing log messages through Service Monitor, see Viewing Service Processing Logs.
To view service development log messages:
Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite as a user who has the Integration Administrator role. Select the Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility and the Integration Repository link.
In the Integration Repository tab, select 'Interface Type' from the View By drop-down list.
Expand an interface type node to locate your desired interface definition.
Click the interface definition name link to open the interface details page.
If the selected interface does not have the design-time log enabled, View Error appears instead in the interface details page if errors occurred during the design-time activities.
Click View Error to view the error details that occurred during design time.
If the selected interface has the design-time log enabled, View Log appears in the interface details page.
Click View Log to view the log and error details.
Click Delete Log to delete all the logs listed in the table if needed.
Click Export to export log list table to Microsoft Excel and save the records.
