Generating the OCL trace v14

Suggest edits

The OCL tracing option logs direct communication (queries, updates, etc.) with the backend in the specified OCI_DEBUG_LOG file. It also logs the functions/APIs that were invoked. The trace files are generated in the default working directory (oci_log_file_name). If you append the path with a file name (directory path/oci_log_file_name), then the trace files are generated at specific location.

A trace file is generated for each connection in text-file (readable) format.

Note

OCL tracing is disabled by default.

To generate the OCL trace:

  1. Enable the EDB client-side tracing for OCL. You can enable the OCL tracing by setting these environment variables:

export OCI_DEBUG_LEVEL=4

export OCI_DEBUG_LOG=oci_log_file

  1. After you export the environment variables, run the application. The OCL trace files are generated in the specified directory.
