Debugging the Billing Interface

Because the Billing Interface process is an Application Engine process that uses temporary tables, the data that it processes is retained in the Billing Interface temporary tables until you run another Billing Interface process. You can review this data in the Billing Interface temporary tables from a Billing Interface process for debugging. Refer to the Billing Interface Application Engine process definition for a list of dedicated temporary tables.

You can use one of two methods to obtain the temporary table instance that the last Billing Interface process used:

  1. Locate the temporary table instance on the Process Monitor page while the Billing Interface process is running.

  2. Query a Billing Interface temporary table for the process instance.

    For example, you might use this query:

    SELECT * from INTFC_BI_HTMPnn where PROCESS_INSTANCE = <your_process_instance>

    *nn is the temporary table instance number.

Note: You can run any Application Engine process in debug mode.
