about UPDATE debugging

Update Debugging is useful when you want to debug some update function modules, some update tasks.

Generally you cannot do any Debug update tasks.

using Update Debugging you can debug update tasks.

EXTERNAL

External debugging is used to Debug from External applications.

ex: BSP, WebDynpro ABAP, WebDynpro Java.

for These applications if we want to debug then we will keep external break points . so that we can debug externally.

SYSTEM debugging ??

It is system Debugging, we can Debug stanadard SAP system calls

Hi Suren,

Update Debugging.

when a function module is called in update task it cannot be debugged normally because it is going to run in different user session. so if you want to debug update function modules need to switch on debugging mode. To do this goto menu

System-> update debugging. Switch it on to debug the FM.

External Debugging :

external debugging is used to debug the SAP code which is getting call from external systems.

example for external system can be web dynpro applications, Java Applications.

for this we need to set the external break point at the SAP code for the logged system user to do this set external break point first then from Utilities-> Setting-> ABAP Editor -> Debugging, have Set Logged in User ID.

we can use the same to debug the application for other users.

Thanks.
