When an external break point is activated , they will work like normal break point when they are called from for example browser (BSP application, Integrated ITs application). sometimes its also called HTTP breakpoint.

Exteranl break points are used for debugging, BSP applications, BW webquery/template , etc.

The session break-point only for that particular session

Hi,

When you mention break-point in the code, it is for all the sessions.

The session break-point last only for that particular session.

When u login again, the break point is reset.

Hi Neha,

If a program is open on 5(for ex.) sytems with the same user name.Then the session break point will be valid for that particular session where you are using,but external break point will work for all the 5 sessions with that user name.

Hi Nega,

External breakpoint will always debug the program in your all sessions but if you have used session breakpoint this will work only in your curent session. It wont work once you log-off your current session.

And also FYI this (session breakpoint)will be active in only your session not in other user's whereas external breakpoint will work in your session as well as other's even you have logged in more than once.
