How to generate the XML Debug Logs (Output Post Processor) for 'Payment Register'.


1. Create the temp directory in $XDO_TOP
On the applications tier move to $XDO_TOP
 - create a temp directory - mkdir temp
 - set the permissions - chmod 777 temp
 - Use pwd and copy this directory location - it will be used in step 2


[applmgr@hostname ~]$ cd $XDO_TOP
[applmgr@hostname 12.0.0]$ mkdir temp


2. Create the Debug Config file
On the Applications Tier - change to $OA_JRE_TOP/bin - cd $OA_JRE_TOP/bin
- Execute this command - ./java -verbose | grep jre | grep 'java.lang.Runtime '
   -In the results - the complete path is present showing where the rt.jar resides
   - change to this directory - this is where the xdedebug.cfg should be created
- Use vi to create a new file called xdodebug.cfg

Enter these two lines:
LogLevel=STATEMENT
LogDir=complete_path_to_$XDO_TOP/temp directory you created


[applmgr@hostname 12.0.0]$ cd $OA_JRE_TOP/bin
[applmgr@hostname bin]$ ./java -verbose | grep jre | grep 'java.lang.Runtime '
[Loaded java.lang.Runtime from /app/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar]
[applmgr@hostname bin]$ cd /app/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/lib/
[applmgr@hostname lib]$ vi xdodebug.cfg
[applmgr@hostname lib]$ vi xdodebug.cfg
[applmgr@hostname lib]$ cat xdodebug.cfg
LogLevel=STATEMENT
LogDir=/app/apps/apps_st/appl/xdo/12.0.0/temp
[applmgr@hostname lib]$




3. Restart the Middle tier
cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts
./adstopall.sh apps/apps
./adstrtall.sh apps/apps

Purchasing - Reports/Run

 - Here there are files crearted, please collect these and put into a zip file.

Enabling XDO logging in EBS in 12.1.3

Introduction:

Some times ORACLE support team asks to get XDO logs to trouble sheet problems related to XML Publisher reports or where XDO processing is used. 

Follow below steps to enable XDO logging 

Steps:

a. Connect to the Apache server as applmgr

b. Create an $XDO_TOP/temp and an $XDO_TOP/resource directory

c. Create an xdodebug.cfg file in the $XDO_TOP/resource directory (do not re-create if the file already exists), containing the following 2 lines:

LogLevel=STATEMENT

LogDir=[full XDO_TOP]/temp

d. Restart the Apache server.

Note full full XDO_TOP means complete path

Note: The xdodebug.cfg file can also be created in the $OA_JRE_TOP/jre/lib directory.
