Methods and systems for debugging bytecode in an on-demand service environment

A method in a system for simulating execution debug in a multi-tenant database environment, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving a request at a web-server of the system, wherein the request comprises a request for services from a multi-tenant database implementation within the system, the multi-tenant database implementation comprising elements of hardware and software that are shared by a plurality of separate and distinct customer organizations;
• determining, via a trace flag analyzer, one or more trace preferences for the request;
• sending the request to a logging framework communicatively interfaced to the multi-tenant database implementation, wherein the logging framework comprises a plurality of services for interfacing with the multi-tenant database implementation;
• processing the request via the logging framework, wherein the logging framework emits execution data describing the execution of events processed via the services;
• and
• capturing at least a portion of the execution data emitted responsive to execution of the plurality of events based on the one or more trace preferences determined for the request.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a system for simulating execution debug in a multi-tenant database environment, the instructions cause the system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a request for services from a multi-tenant database implementation within the system, the multi-tenant database implementation comprising elements of hardware and software that are shared by a plurality of separate and distinct customer organizations;
• determining one or more trace preferences for the request;
• sending the request to a logging framework communicatively interfaced to the multi-tenant database implementation, wherein the logging framework comprises a plurality of services for interfacing with the multi-tenant database implementation;
• processing the request via the logging framework, wherein the logging framework emits execution data describing the execution of events processed via the services;
• and
• capturing at least a portion of the execution data emitted responsive to execution of the plurality of events based on the one or more trace preferences determined for the request.
