Opening debug Perspective Issue

[Former Member]

Hi

we are moving towards the use of Eclipse in ABAP Development.

Now for testing and developing we have two different client. Say(X for developing and Y for testing)

now for X client we all developer have different credential. but for Y client we have one common username and password.

so now problem is if i put breakpoint and run the program (from Eclipse )and if other developer is also login in Y client(with same credential in eclipse) then my debug perspective is getting opened in his/her Computer. and at ant time 4-5 person are there in Y client with same login .

and we can not have different credential for Y client.

Though this is not happening in SAP  GUI

Any solution?

Thanks in advance

Hi Zubin,

I really love to read about new requirements just when getting the notification from my team that the feature is already inplace .

Yes, we will support your debugging scenario by generic users with the next AS ABAP version.

Kind Regards,

Thomas.

Hi,

Even we are facing the same problem.

In SAP GUI we had a debugging setting 'IP Matching' . Don't we have such setting in eclipse debug perspective.

Hi Thomas

Our System : ECC 6.0 EHP 6.0 with Netweaver Version 7.31 service pack 12

will we be able to use "generic users" with our system ?

If not then it will be a problem for us as we are not planning to upgrade in near future.

Thanks & Regrads

Hello Zubin,

if you want to use group users to run and debug programs (started from eclipse) in parallel the debug mode "This project (...)" should be the best option.

You can find this option in the project specific debugger settings: Right click on the blue ruler bar on the left side of the editor (where the breakpoints are) and choose "Debug Properties ...". Then choose "This project (...)".

Let us know if you have further questions.

Best regards,

Armin

Edit: After double checking this scenario I have to add the following:

If you debug in parallel with the same group user there still could be conflicts, even if you use the above mentioned debug mode "This project ...)". Still the mentioned debug mode is the best option in your case.

A possible result of such a conflict could be that the debugger does not startup at all (instead of starting up in your colleagues IDE).

For Netweaver 7.31 SP12 the best prophylaxis against such conflicts would be to right click on a breakpoint and choose "Refresh Breakpoints" or  use Ctrl-Alt-B right before you start the program you want to debug. If you do that there will be a high probability that you do not experience conflicts.

A better conflict handling for debugging with group users will be available with the next AS ABAP version, as mentioned by Thomas.
