hi,

If you set a breakpoint in the ABAP Editor, for example, this breakpoint is a session breakpoint. Session breakpoints 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.

If the setting Session Breakpoints Active Immediately is checked (via Utilities ® Settings ® ABAP Editor ® Debugging in the ABAP Editor or Object Navigator), you can set a session breakpoint in an external session of a logon to force a running program into the Debugger that runs in the same logon (for example, in an external session) and will process the point at which the session breakpoint was set.

User breakpoints (previously known as external breakpoints) 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.

Hope this helps, Do reward.
