    The document discusses debugging a LOV (List of Values) in an Oracle EBS screen that is not returning any records. It recommends using database traces to view the SQL behind the LOV and any bind variable values. Traces show the exact SQL and binds, allowing the query to be reproduced offline. While the record group shows the query, traces also provide binds which may have been altered. Traces can also be useful for developing reports on screen data or identifying database operations like inserts.

    Why is that LOV in the screen not

    returning me desired value?

    Debugging LOV
    In a EBS screen, the LOV in this form does not bring back any records (in D2K) ?

    Find the trace file location


    Use help/diagnostics to enable trace
    On the SQL*Plus run to find trace directory
    select value from v$parameter where
    name like 'user_dump_dest'

    Set trace with binds and waits,


    using help menu. Using the
    “binds” option, you will get to see
    value of the variables in SQL.

    Go to database machine, to the trace


    directory, and ensure that you can access
    that trace file on the DB Server

    You will be shown the path & name of the trace file
    Now for test case, enter value in
    LOV field, and tab out to initiate
    SQL behind the LOV on that field.

    By doing so, this SQL that retrieves


    data for LOV will get written into the
    trace file
    http://oracle.anilpassi.com
    Inside the trace file, you can
    see the SQL LOV
    Debugging and its bind values`

    The trace files


    shows the SQL that
    For each SQL statement,
    was executed you will also see the
    variable values in the
    trace file

    :1 equates to Bind#0
    :2 equates to Bind#1

    Hence you can construct


    Extract the SQL with its Bind the exact SQL that
    Variable Value so that it can be run screen is running
    offline in SQL*Plus Session

    http://oracle.anilpassi.com
    Instead of running the trace, can’t I simply open
    the form and see the query in Record Group?

    Yes, you can but :-

    Trace file gives you the bind variable values

    The record group might have been altered programmatically or by Forms


    Personalization or from CUSTOM.pll. Hence using this technique, you
    get the end product SQL statement

    Other scenario’s where this technique is useful
    You might be requested to develop a report that prints the data that
    is displayed from a screen. In this case, you can nick the SQL’s that
    screen uses, fine tune them for performance, and your report is
    almost ready.

    You may wish to know the list of inserts/updates & deletes that are
    taking place from a screen, during data entry.

    You may also wish to find out the SQL Statements/Cursors that are
    executed/fetched for validations.
