New Debugger when debugging through sm50

[danielpurucker]

Hi,

i have a question regarding the "new debugger".

When trying to debug a background process through sm50 (jumping into an infinite loop) the "old" debugger is being shown.

When trying to switch to the new debugger using the menu bar, the debugger is closed.

While debugging "normal" programs or function modules the new debugger works fine.

Is there any way to use the "new debugger" when debugging through sm50?

Thanks & best regards,

Daniel

Hi,

With New debugger, you simply exit debugger by choosing in menu "Debugger" -> "Exit debugging", since it is in another mode, it let your program continue...

Hi,

this is not my problem. I'll try to make it clear:

- I start the debugger by using "Program, Debug" in Transaction sm50

- The old debugger is opened

- When i want to switch to the new debugger then (using the menu) my whole debugger session is being closed..

That's the problem.

Pls check the number of sessions you have opened for a single client logon.

It allows only seven.If U hav already opened seven sessions '/n' then try to debug, the classic debugger ll be triggered and not the new debugger. Pls try to reduce the number of sessions and do ,if this is the case.

this might help you.

Hello,

I think the maximum number of sessions is 6, not 7.

This can be reduced by Basis with some RZ parameters, but not increased.

You can try opening multiple sessions to find out how many are allowed in your system.

Then close all the extra ones and try again.

Your condition is strange though, usually it gives a message saying that external debugging mode is not available or something similar.

Sorry for the late reply.

It's not an issue of max opened sessions. I even tried and closed all sessions but the active one.

... Same result. I also found a similar thread here:

So this is not the issue.

No Chance, it works perfectly for me.

I followed the following steps:

1. changed the debugger to New Debugger

2. Goto SM50

3. Select the Process which i want to debug , from menu Started the Debugging

4. It opened up a new Debugger session

Just check what is your Gui patch level??
