Hi,

Sometimes it happens that functional people can't able to replicate some production issues in Quality or development server.

In such cases we developers need to debug that kind of issues and need to analyze along with functional people to find the root cause for the problem.

If I remember correctly there will be role called "FIREFIGHTER" and it will be assign to your user ID and you can debug from your user id. (ofcourse it has some restrictions too ).  This FF  will be used to log critical actions.

Check with your bassis guys..you will get a clear picture.

Thanks

SaiKrishna

Hi Ahmed,

Yes it's possible to debug in production environment.

As production system is used by user, it may cause problem.

And if you have authorization to debug and if you change any data which may lead to unwanted results.

You can test or debug in pre-prod which is similar to production.
Anyway why do you want to debug in production system ???

Hi waqas,

Its depend on the situation.

i want to share something at which condition i had use the debugger in the production system.

In my company Number range is different for the Production and Quality server.

In the ML81n TCODE when we get the package number & Subpackage number is always +1 of the package number. So we had just had the +1 package Number.But in production system the Number range may be changed or GOD knows what happens the difference between the package number and Subpackge number is 10 number instead of 1 .

So while testing in QA and Develpment Box its worked fine. But in Production it something is wrong.

So in that case we need to Use the debuger in the prod. server.

If the problem is not come on the QA and Develpment system its better to take the use the debugger in the production system instead of wasting the time.

Regards.

Nishant Bansal.
