The ifth parameter in the URL is the debug toggle; the parameters are as follows:
• Application ID
• Page number or page alias
• Session ID
• Request
• Debug toggle
• Clear cache
• Item names
• Item values
• Printer friendly
• Tracing toggle
The parameters are listed after
f?p=
in the preceding URL;
100
is the Application
ID,
1
is the page number,
2345678912345
is the session ID, and so on. The ifth
parameter is set to
YES
, which means that debugging is enabled.
Using the URL to toggle debugging can be convenient when the development bar is
not visible.
In Application Express 4.2
Where the
f?p
URL syntax arguments are described, the
argument
Debug
should be extended as follows:
• Valid values for the
DEBUG
flag are
YES
,
LEVEL1
to
LEVEL9
or
NO
• Setting this flag to
YES
will display details about
application processing
• Setting this flag to
LEVELn
(where
n
is between
1
and
9
) controls the level of debug detail, from least details
(
LEVEL1
) to most details (
LEVEL9
)
• The value
YES
is equal to
LEVEL4
Now that debugging is enabled, it is possible to see exactly what APEX is doing and
how long it takes, including page rendering and page processing.
