RFC debugger not working

Former Member — Tue, 24 May 2011 16:50:19 GMT

Hi Everybody,

My RFC is on APO side and and i have applied external break-point in RFC.

RFC is getting executed, but debugger is not working.

Can anybody guide me what could be the reason.

Before setting break-point in rfc function module, I have completed following steps-

1. Utilities--> Entered user of calling system

2.Clicked IP matching

3.Session break-point

Kindly guide what needs to be done.

Thanks.

I think you did everything correct. Make sure the user name that you have entered is the one that is executing the RFC. Most of the times, even if you are executing under your name this is usually executed by ALEREMOTE or whatever the RFC user.

So, check it out in SM50 while executing for the user name then change the user name to this one in Settings.

Are you saying the RFC user name should be same as that of login name in SM59?

Would you please elaborate- "So, check it out in SM50 while executing for the user name then change the user name to this one in Settings."

No. the user name that you are using in settings has to be the same as on which it is running. Most of the times, these kind of programs runs on RFC user names for example, BWREMOTE for BI and so on. So ask your basis what is the RFC user and use that instead of your user name in settings.

just to determine under which user the transaction is executed, open up the transaction sm50 in another session then run your RFC .... You will be able to see the user name under which your RFC is running.

Worst case, if the RFC is your own, i mean custom, and if you can modify it, just make and endless loop and go to SM50 to get into Debug mode from there.

But try the first one first.

It doesn't matter how you login. You better login with your user name but use the RFC user in settings and put a break point.

You won't be able to login with RFC user as that may not be a dialog user. Did you try the one i said, i mean use SM50 to determine under which user the RFC is running.

Also check the user type in SU01. you won't be able to debug if it is not a dialog user.

Hi sanj_dell,

The settings "user" and "IP matching" are for HTTP only, not RFC.

The issue you have is probably only with the user you use for debug, which should be the same as the one configured in the RFC communication. On that point, I guess the detailed answers from Sampath are sufficient.
