Setting the Oracle Forms Log Level

The log level defines which messages and TrueLogs are captured when recording an Oracle Forms application.
  1. In Silk Performer, expand the Profiles node in the Project tree.
  2. Right-click the profile that you want to configure and choose Edit Profile.
    Tip: Alternatively, you can choose Settings > Active Profile from the menu bar.

    The Profile - [<profile name>] dialog box opens, and the Replay category is displayed in the shortcut list on the left.

  3. Select Record in the shortcut list and click the Oracle Forms icon.
  4. Click the Logging tab. Here you can specify that additional properties have their values logged during recording.
  5. From the Log level list box, select the log level for virtual user logging:
    • None - TrueLogs will be generated, though no Oracle Messages will be logged and no detailed information about controls in the log file will be written.
    • Error - In addition to the None log level, errors that occur during recording are logged.
    • Normal - In addition to the Error log level, Oracle messages are logged to the TrueLog and the log file.
    • Debug - In addition to the Normal log level, detailed information about control messages is logged, for example in the In Body and Out Body tab in TrueLog Explorer. This information is helpful for customizing and debugging your script when comparing it with Try Script runs. This option should also be used when you encounter a problem during replay and you must send your log files to Micro Focus SupportLine for analysis.
    Additional properties to be logged in the TrueLog for each control in your application can also be defined. Such properties are Oracle Forms internal properties that must be defined using their internal names. In most cases you will not need to use this feature, as default properties (name, value) are logged for each control. The OraForms.bdh file contains a complete list of all internal properties, most of which are not used by controls and so will generally be ignored if you define them.
  6. Click OK to save your settings.
