Guidelines for Setting Up General Troubleshooting

To share application-related issues with the help desk, users can record the on-screen activity while they reproduce the issues. The help desk can then view those recordings for troubleshooting the issues.

Some advanced users might also need detailed information present on the About This Page dialog box. Therefore, to set up your application for troubleshooting, make sure that your users have the required access to record and view issues. It's also important to determine how many users can record at the same time.

Access

Check with your security administrator that the appropriate users are assigned roles that inherit the following privileges:

  • Record and View Issue (FND_RECORD_AND_VIEW_ISSUE_PRIV): To create a basic recording

  • Set Issue Recording Advanced Options (FND_SET_ISSUE_RECORDING_ADVANCED_OPTIONS_PRIV): To set advanced options before starting the recording

  • View Version Information (FND_VIEW_VERSION_INFORMATION_PRIV): To see the versions that technical components of the application are on

Number of Users

Recordings are stored on servers, and by default, up to five users can record at the same time on each server. For performance reasons, you can set the Maximum Number of Users Allowed to Record Issues (ORA_FND_RECORD_ISSUE_MAX_USERS) profile option to a number lower than five.
