Don't you think it would be more appropriate to do some basic training?

These are discussion forums and you can use the search, but they are not a substitute to training...

Hi Julius,

I am new to SAP.

I am always trying to do most of the things in Sand Box client itself.But for few things, I don't know how to move further.

Even In search, I am not able to get the required information for debugging authorization.Thats why I raised the call.

However,Sorry for Inconvinence.

You really should insist on getting proper training. If you want to learn SAP security administration by trial and error and through the forum, a long and hard struggle awaits you with no guarantees whatsoever.........

Hi Karthika!

In my opinion "Debug" access is critical on Production system, I think you should give this access with approvals from higher ups, its not wise you take this call.

This value will give Debug access with value change ability, which is not good on PRD( i think you should do good research on this before you go ahead)

E&Y team raised there concerns with this access on our production system, now i am cleaning up the roles removing values '02' and object type :Debug on our PRD roles. I am thinking to get a process around this "will assign access on demand for little time" also will put approvals around this to make my life easy.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is no separate t-code for debugging. Actually debugging means checking a particular program (mostly by the functional & ABAP team) in the system. S_DEVELOP is teh main object that needs to be maintained for this. You need to give the "DEBUG" value in the field Object Type.

A way to look behind all screens, inside the running programs. This also may allow users to see data which is normally hidden from them according to their authroizations.

I suspect they mean debugging with changed parameters.

The fastest way to get around all other authorizations. Like giving SAP_ALL..... Have their bosses and their bosses' bosses sign the requests and send those to the auditors for agreement before you put your job in danger.

Everything you do not want to happen in production systems.

Do a search on object S_DEVELOP objecttype DEBUG

And yes, I agree with Julius. Take some training, you're already on very thin ice, both inside your job and here in the forum.

You need access for authorization object S_DEVELOP with object type DEBUG and actvt 02 for debuggung with replace.
