How to get a Debug Log Generated for a CI-Based Web Service? In the SOAP request message you are posting into PeopleSoft do the following. 1. Add debug="Y" inside the Action tag (CREATE, UPDATE or UPDATEDATA) of the request message as shown below.   <CREATE__CompIntfc__MY_TEST_CI debug="Y">     <SETID>BMOBK</SETID>     2. Do this for each transaction for which you want logging. 3. The log file will be in the format SOAPTOCIxxx.log, where xxx is a timestamp value. This file is typically placed in the app server's files directory (<PS_HOME>\appserv\<MY_APP_SERVER_DOMAIN>\files - for example, C:\pt853\appserv\E910G20P\files).  However, it may be in another directory such as temp (or tmp).  So, searching for the file will be necessary if it is not in either of these two directories. This file shows the execution path of the SOAPTOCI PeopleCode and is useful for debugging purposes.

1.        Is the MCFOutBoundEmail() function better than SendMail() function? As of PT 8.49.13, PeopleSoft began using javamail via MultiChannel Framework (MCF) to send emails, as javamail is fully SMTP Protocol compliant to RFC 821/822. The MCFOutBoundEmail() function is fully compliant, whereas SendMail() function uses PeopleSoft's basesmtp.cpp, and has been found to not be fully compliant with SMTP Protocol RFC 821/822. Therefore, the recommendation is to replace use of SendMail, with MCFOutBoundEmail function. 2.        How does this function send email? is it SMTP? Yes, MCFOutBoundEmail sends email fully compliant to Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) 3.        Where is SMTP Server & Port configured? MCFOutBoundEmail() function uses the SMTP section of the Application Server's psappsrv.cfg file, and Process Scheduler's SMTP section of the psprcs.cfg file, just as the SendMail() function does. No special configuration is required for the MCFOu
