Sharing Diagnostic Definitions

Once the registration is complete, the application package can be selected as a Diagnostic Plug-In in Application Designer. Inserting diagnostic plug-ins into projects, enables them to be shared, copied to or compared between databases, and exported to and imported from files. Sharing diagnostic plug-ins would be necessary for plug-ins that need to be sent to Oracle support staff for their review, for example, or to other developers at your site.

The project should contain the:

  • Diagnostic plug-in

  • application package

  • application package PeopleCode

To insert a plug-in into a project:

  1. In Application Designer, select Insert, and then Definitions into Project.

  2. Select Diagnostic Plug-Ins as the definition type.

  3. Select the plug-in and click Insert.

  4. After inserting the plug-in, make sure to include the underlying application packages and application package PeopleCode in the project as well.

Once the diagnostic plug-in definitions have been inserted into a project, you can share a diagnostic plug-in. Check the Upgrade tab to see these definition types: Application Packages, Diagnostic Plug-Ins, and PeopleCode. You cannot see these with the Development tab selected.

To share a diagnostic plug-in:

  1. Open the project containing the diagnostic definitions in Application Designer.

  2. Select Tools, Copy Project, to File.

  3. Share the generated XML file with the interested parties.
