WriteToLog
Next time you need to do some in-line PeopleCode debugging, rather than the traditional approach of using MessageBox, orWinMessage, consider using the PeopleCode WriteToLog function.
To summarise, the WriteToLog function consists of two parameters:
- Log fence setting, I usually use
%ApplicationLogFence_Error (1)to ensure it will write a log file - The relevant text string to be written to the log file
When called, it will write to a file called something like <OPRID>_<IP>.tracesql in the application server logs folder (where you would typically find other trace files).
The thing I like best about this is that it is unobtrusive. It doesn't impact other users and it doesn't stop execution flow (nothing worse than a MessageBox in a loop that you have to click through 50 times!).
