Difference between External and Session Breakpoint

[Former Member]

Hi,

In New ABAP Editor, there are two Breakpoints. One is External Breakpoint and another one is Session Breakpoint. What is the difference between External breakpoint and session breakpoint?

Hi siddharth,

1. Internal / session breakpoint

means normal break-point, as we know.

2. External is required in case of BSP

where we actually login from a browse (eg. portal , ess)

and we need to debug.

Hence, its called external .

Hi,

Amit has rightly described the difference between the two types.

Just to add here - Both of them have a same effect if you are debugging an ABAP program only.

hi,

<u><b>Session breakpoints</b></u>

<b>Session breakpoints</b> remain active independently of the existence of a Debugger and are valid for all external sessions of a logon. Within the Debugger, you can convert a debugger breakpoint into a session breakpoint and vice versa.

<u><b>external breakpoints</b></u>

User breakpoints (previously known as <b>external breakpoints</b>) are valid for all user logons on the current server of the current system. User breakpoints are specifically required when debugging BSP or Web Dynpro applications. In these cases, you do not log on using the SAP GUI but via a browser, for example. Therefore, any breakpoints must be set before logging on.

User breakpoints are only valid for a period of 2 hours.

As of Release 7.00, user breakpoints set for BSP or Web Dynpro applications are also valid for SAP GUI logons.

Within the Debugger, you can convert debugger or session breakpoints into user breakpoints and vice versa.

<b>follow this link, it clearly explain about break-points.</b>
