Debugging via /h

[former_member428487]

Hello colleagues,

I need to use ABAP in Eclipse for creating external views for HANA Views. We are on
Netweaver 7.40. If I use ABAP in Eclipse I wonder how to debug actions like the
synchronize action for external views. In SAP GUI and e.g. SE80 or also other
transactions like SE11 I could enter /h in the transaction code input field and
could debug the actions. How could I do this in ABAP in Eclipse?

Regards

André

Hi Andre,

as the development tools in Eclipse are written in Java the debugging is not that easy as in SE80.

Currently there is no possibility to debug the IDE functionality as we don't ship the sources you need for debugging.

But nice try 🙂

Question: Why do you want to debug the tool?

Kind Regards,

Thomas.

Hello Thomas,

In this case I wanted to see how the synchronization of external views with HANA views works, but I often used this functionality in the past to find some functions I need or want to know.

Dear Andre,

as you might already know ABAP in Eclipse communicates to the ABAP Backend using REST over RFC. There is the so called ABAP Communication Log which you can use to find out which services are called. All services implement the Enhancement Spot SADT_REST_RFC_APPLICATION with the BAdI's BADI_ADT_DISCOVERY_PROVIDER and BADI_ADT_REST_RFC_APPLICATION. Perhaps that's a good starting point.

Best regards

Gregor
