How to debug an RFC function

Former Member — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:17:10 GMT

Hi,

I have a RFC function which will be given a huge table for processing. At the end of the process a table which contains errors of the processing should be returned to the external caller.

Now I need to debug the part which generates the error table. Since I can't execute the RFC locally (the input table is very huge), how can I call from a external environment and debug in R/3 where in RFC errors are generated.

Cheers

Kami

which SAP version are you using. In ECC you can use external debugging for RFC calls

is it a custom RFC, then you can set an endless loop in there with an exit point for a condition. Then from SM50 you can debug the RFC

Yes it is custom maid. Can you please confirm the step bellow to debug the coding.

1. implement an endless loop with an exit in the RFC

2. call the RFC from the external environment

3. call the transaction SE50

4. Go to the menu Program/Mode -> Program-> Debugging

Looks right to me - but it's as MxG said SM50, not SE50.
