Debugging in Oracle APEX

Debugging in Oracle Application Express (APEX) involves identifying and resolving issues in your APEX applications. There are various techniques you can use to debug your applications effectively. Here are some common debugging methods in Oracle APEX:
Debug Messages:
You can use the apex_debug.message procedure to display debug messages in your application's debug console. These messages can help you trace the flow of your code and identify potential issues. For example:
arduino
Copy code
apex_debug.message('Debug message text');
PL/SQL Debugging:
APEX allows you to debug PL/SQL code by using breakpoints and watches. You can set breakpoints at specific lines in your PL/SQL code to pause execution and inspect variables or expressions during runtime.
Debugging SQL:
To debug SQL queries, you can use the SQL Workshop in APEX, which includes tools like SQL Commands and SQL Scripts. You can execute queries and observe the results to identify any errors or unexpected behavior.
Error Handling:
Implement proper error handling in your PL/SQL code and APEX processes. Using apex_error.add_error or raise_application_error, you can log errors and display custom error messages to users.
Interactive Debugging:
APEX provides interactive debugging capabilities that allow you to debug your application in real-time as you navigate through pages and processes.
Debugging Page Rendering:
You can use the browser's developer tools to inspect the generated HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. This can be useful to troubleshoot issues related to page rendering and client-side behavior.
Check Application and Session State:
Frequently inspect the application and session state to ensure values are as expected. You can display state information using the apex_debug.message procedure or create custom debug pages.
Debugging Plugins:
If you are using custom or third-party plugins, verify their settings and debug them if necessary.
Debugging Authentication and Authorization:
Check if your authentication and authorization schemes are working correctly. Ensure that users have appropriate access and roles.
Debugging Dynamic Actions:
If you're using dynamic actions, check their settings and evaluate their execution during different scenarios.
Remember to disable or remove any debugging code or messages from your production environment to avoid performance issues and exposing sensitive information.
To enable debugging, you must set the appropriate debugging options in your APEX application and have access to the debug console.
Keep in mind that the specific process of debugging in APEX might change with new versions and updates. It's always a good idea to refer to the official Oracle APEX documentation and resources for the most up-to-date information on debugging techniques.

Very useful information!

[@ERPstuff]

Glad it was helpful!

[@youshark7]

This what we need, thank you sir.

[@ERPstuff]

You're welcome

[@PriyanshuKumar-ho7kj]

Can we get the application that is being used?

[@ERPstuff]

Hi, unable to understand what exactly you are looking for?

[@PriyanshuKumar-ho7kj]

@@ERPstuff I was asking if we can use the same APEX application that is being used for better understanding of flow of APEX_DEBUG and how to access the logs in a clean manner.

Oh no it was deleted after video creation just checked. thanks
