Debug background jobs in S4 HANA Public Cloud

[sivathanushan_kokilathas]

How can we debug an external API in S4 HANA Public Cloud that is called in the background. In S4 HANA on-prem system, one way is to use SM50 and there are some other ways to debug batch jobs in test environment. Do we have any equivalent in S4 HANA Public Cloud and how to do that if this is possible?

Thanks,

Siva

Hi, @sivathanushan_kokilathas 

If we're talking about Debugging Job, then it's not possible, here's a similar answer to that question. 

External APIs can be debugged, but you need to specify the technical user we selected in the Communication System for this scenario.

Select technical user in ADT

On the screen below I showed how we caught the debugger for the public API  (API_SALES_ORDER_SRV/A_SalesOrder) through a technical user. 
The request I made was via Postman.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Oleg
