AD Administration Log Files
• If an error occurs or if you are unsure of messages returned by AD Administration, review the main AD Administration log file adadmin.log
• This log file is located in the $APPL_TOP/admin/<SID>/log directory
• If errors exist in the main log file, check the appropriate log file listed in the next slide to determine the cause of the error

AD Administration Log Files
In addition to the main AD Administration log file, other log files include:
• adrelink.log - stores information on relinking tasks
• adworkXXX.log - these are the worker log files where XXX is the number of the worker (for example, 007)
– For database and generation tasks run in parallel, check these log files for details

Generate Form Files
When generating forms, AD Administration:
• Prompts for the number of parallel workers
• Displays the current character set (from NLS_LANG)
• Asks whether you want to generate Oracle Forms objects in this character set
• Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Forms PL/SQL library files
• Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Formsmenu files

Generate Form Files
AD Administration also:
• Asks whether you want to regenerate Oracle Forms executable files
• Asks for which products to generate Oracle Forms objects
• Asks whether you want to generate specific forms objects for each selected product
Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.1 - 19
Generate Form Files
• If you did not choose to generate all forms objects, it displays a list of Oracle Forms objects and allows you to select specific objects
• It then generates all selected Oracle Forms objects for all selected products in parallel
