Oracle ESB Debugging in SOA

Debugging ESB Instances: (ref: http://soafusion.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-enable-debugging-in-oracle-esb.html)

Quite some times it is little frustrating to understand what happens inside Oracle ESB. It is because of Error reporting which is very limited and not to the point.

This can be resolved by enabling the ESB log level FINE in the Oracle application server control and below are the steps to do that.


1. Login into the Application Server Control at http://localhost:8888/em
2. Click on the oc4j_soa instance and Administration tab.
3. Click on Logger Configuration.
4. Now expand Root Logger / oracle to display the logger classes and the Log Level settings.
5. In the Log Level list, select the level FINE for the following classes
. oracle.tip.esb.server.common
. oracle.tip.esb.common.control
. oracle.tip.esb.common.system
. oracle.tip.esb.server.service.impl.inadapter

You DONT need to Bounce the server if this change is done from the EM console.

Look for the log file in : $ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\oc4j_soa\log\oc4j_soa_default_group_1\oc4j\log.xml
