Hi all,

While setting up break points, it displays a popup window in that it has two options like external break point and session break point.Actually what is differenc between these two options? and when we have to use each of these?

Thanks & Regards.

Hi Laxman,

Externel breakpoint will always debug the program in your all sessions but if you have used session breakpoint this will work only in your curent session. It wont work once you log-off your current session.

And also this (session breakpoint)will be active in only your session not in other user's whereas external breakpoint will work in your session as well as other's even you have logged in more than once.

Also check this link on breakpoints:

HI

*****to quote from SAP help..

"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"

"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.

As of Release 7.00, user breakpoints set for BSP or Web Dynpro applications are also valid for SAP GUI logons.

Within the Debugger, you can convert debugger or session breakpoints into user breakpoints and vice versa."

If this could help u
