Enabling an EBS Global Diagnostics Trace
Oracle E-Business Suite provides several types of logs. One of the tools you can use is the Logging Framework, which allows you to collect and view log messages in Oracle Applications Manager. The Logging Framework collects debug messages, errors, and alerts.
A Global Diagnostics Trace can help you diagnose issues if errors occur when users click a button or select an option. It’s a targeted trace that can be run per user, thereby minimizing the impact on the overall performance of your environment. This kind of trace is also known as an FND Diagnostics Trace or Oracle Applications Logging.
You can find a quick summary of steps to enable a Global Diagnostics trace here:
- How to Collect an FND Diagnostics Trace (aka FND:Debug) (Note 372209.1)
There’s lots more information about more-powerful logging options in the following manuals:
- Logging Features in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 (EBS 12.2 Maintenance Guide)
- Logging (EBS 12.1 System Administrator’s Guide)

EBS 12.1 and 12.2 certified on IBM AIX 7.2
I am pleased to announce that Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1.3 and 12.2.3 (and later updates to those respective releases) are now certified on AIX 7.2, the latest operating system for the IBM AIX on Power Systems (64-bit) platform.
Installations of E-Business Suite on these operating systems require specific patches to the latest startCD prior to installing, followed by the application of the 12.1.3 RUP or the 12.2.3 RUP (or higher) for EBS 12.1 and 12.2 respectively. Cloning of existing EBS 12.1.3 or 12.2 environments to AIX 7.2 is also certified using the standard Rapid Clone process.
There are specific requirements to upgrade technology components such as the Oracle Database (to 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2) and Fusion Middleware components as necessary. All requirements, known issues, patches needed, etc. are noted in the Installation and Upgrade Notes (IUN) below and must be reviewed and implemented.
The Certifications page (‘Certify’) on My Oracle Support is in the process of being updated with this information.
