Client tracing and debugging

Debug Console

Whenever the framework performs a dispatch, a trace with details about it is being available in the debug console using the following arguments:
Category: Framework
Sub Category: Customization.
Trace Example: Instance of 'frmPersonInfo' replaced with customized 'frmPersonInfo_Cust'

Depending on the origin of the dispatch, the trace can sometimes also include details of the framework method that made the dispatch like:

Trace Example: cSessionManager.SessionModalDialog: Instance of 'dlgInfoText' replaced with customized 'dlgInfoText_Cust'

Customized Forms Tracing

A customized window can be "disabled" in order to let the "original" window be opened instead. This feature is something that might help developers, administrators or support personal to pinpoint certain problems, establishing if the error is found in the core window, the customized window or in both windows.

To disable/enable a customized window, do the following:

1. Logon with a user having the security role FND_DEVELOPER and/or FND_ADMIN
2. As alternative to above, ensure your user have grants to the Presentation Object named EE_CONTEXTPANE_LAA (GUI Settings - Contextpane Layered Application Architecture).
3. On the Context Panel, press the RMB and choose Customize...
4. Select the _CustomizedFormsTracer and move it to the right panel by pressing the Add -> button.
   
5. Apply the changes by pressing OK

That should have enabled the _CustomizedFormsTracer window in the Context Panel.
Here, you can disable any customized window by uncheck its checkbox. Remember that a customized window that is already opened must be re-opened again in order to get an affect.
The navigator must be re-loaded in order to make all its URL's be re-initialized or you will otherwise keep navigating to the customized window when you click its corresponding navigator node.
