Developer Tools

A useful trace option for ESCWA issues is to use the Developer Tools feature within the web browser itself to inspect the network requests. Almost all requests within ESCWA are sent and received in JSON format, so errors within ESCWA itself can be caused by malformed JSON.

Note: The following instructions are generic with regard to the browser you are using. For complete instructions on using your browser's developer tools, see the documentation provided by your browser.
  1. To access the Developer Tools for ESCWA, open Enterprise Server Administration in a browser of your choice, and then consult your browser docmentation for specific instructions.
    Hint: Developer Tools are often found under the More Tools option on your browser's customization or settings menu.
  2. In the Developer Tools window, click the Network tab.
  3. In ESCWA, run the series of steps that caused the problem.

    You should see each step appear on a list in Developer Tools.

  4. On the Network tab, click on the name of the enterprise server region or page where the error occurs.
  5. In the right pane of the Developer Tools window, click Response.

    This shows the JSON response that was sent, and should allow you to identify the particular area of the request that might trigger the error.

Important: If you want to log a Customer Care case for an error found using Developer Tools, copy and save the JSON response, and send it along with the other required information for your support case. See Reporting a Problem for details.
