Using Debugger in DTP

[Former Member]

Can somebody explain in step by step process on how to use debug mode in DTP.

I tried as explained by Andreas in this forum and it did not help. The simulation mode ends with greee ligt.

The process followed as follows...

1.) Enter the transformation you want to debug

2.) Pick the menu entry "Extras --> Generated Prgogram", and set a user break-point at the position you want to debug.

3.) Enter the maintenance of the corresponding DTP.

4.) Switch the execution mode to "Serially in the Dialog Process (for Debugging)" .

5.) Switch on any of the break-points needed by using the respective "Change" button, e.g. "Extaction Data Source" --> "Before Transformation".

6.) Execute the DTP. It should now stop first at the break-point defined 5.) and also in the break-point defined in your generated program for the transformation (see step 2.)).

This did not work.. Please advise...

We are in BI 7.0 SP10.

If I use debugger after a successful load into ODS, then it goes to the monitor screen with a green light.

If I use debugger at the beginning of load from PSA to ODS, it does go into a code, where my tranformation code is not visible..

Any inputs...

Thanks,

Hi!

u dont directly go to transformation code.. u need to have a breakpoint in ur transformation and then it takes a wile before u go to transformation code after several other standard break points.

Mohan:

You are correct. Initially it goes to a break point in the SAP code and when execute(F8) to reach my break point, it goes to DTP monitor with a red traffic light.

Any inputs will be great help....

hmm!

how many break points did u select. try selecting a break point in start routine and then u can wait and see for the break point in transformation. try using normal break and user break.

Mohan:

It worked using a hard coded breakpoint. No idea how it started working...it works...

Thanks A Lot for following up on this question...I really appreciate your followup...
