External debugging of ABAP from NWDS in web dynpro java

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Like a while a ago, I remember on SDN there was a video for external debugging tutorial. Can any one point me to that or any other documentation for doing external debug from NWDS.

Thanks,

HI James!!!

You can find a video presentation for external debugging of WD JAVA application at:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/elearning/user-interfac...

I hope this would help you. If you seek something else, you can revert back. I'll be happy to help you

Cheers!!!

You don't need to have the debugging function turned on in your WebAS Java to debug ABAP code, the debugging funcion in the j2ee server is to do java debugging.

Talk to your basis and ask them to enable debugging in WebApplication Server. They usually disable this because it consumes lot of memory.

How to verify the debug mode enabled or not in your server.

Connect to your server from NWDS.

go to J2EE Engine View and look at the nodes you should be seeing the debug mode on or off.

Until and otherwise they enable you won't be able to reach the break point set it up at the ABAP.

Once you are able to see the debug mode in the view, follow the procedure mentioned in the reply prior to me.

Hi,

The steps to set the external debugging of ABAP from any wedynpro java application or from portal.

Steps :

1. Log in to sap-gui with the same user as logged into the portal or any user that has access to sap.

2. Open the Function module.

3. Click the "utitlities" on the top navigation and then click setting .

4. in the debugging tab , give the name of the user with which you have logged in to the portal.

After this log into the portal with the same user.

Hi, in order to do external debugging you just have to set an external breakpoint on the abap code, then when you call the remote function from your webdynpro app, a SAP GUI window shows up with the debugging function, you just have to make sure that the user that sets the external breakpoint is the same user that calls the function module, in this case the user that you set in the JCO destination or the user that you log into the portal in case you are using single sign on. Also make sure no one is logged with the same user, the debugging window could show up in that other person's session.

Hope it helps.
