Debugging background processes

Posted on Jan 17, 2008 at 04:01 AM 1.3k Views

I am testing a functionality in which data gets transferred from the CRM system to the ECC system. I suspect that this transfer is happening through a function module in a background process. Since it is a background process, I am unable to stop control at the function module through normal debugging.

Can anyone tell me how can I debug in such a situation. It's a kind request to please tell the steps in detail.

Thank you.

    Hi ,

    To debugg a background job , you need to go to transaction SM50 which shows the list of processes running the the system and from there select your process and debugg it.

    if you are in ECC 5.0 or high you have an option of external break points.. you can use that at the FM and debug...

    to debug background job use SM50

    -

    to know that its your job,, ur user name will be displayed at the process..

    Hi,

    There a no. of ways to debug the background job as mentioned in above posts. 1 more way is to go to SM50 Txn and find your background job of Type 'BGD'. Check that process and go to Program/Session ->Program -> Debugging.

    You can not debug a program which is running in background but once the job is completed in sm37 select the job and type JDBG at command box, the job will go in debug mode and show you how it was executed.

    BACKGROND PROGRAMS:you can debug the background jobs, use the command BDUG

    One way of debuging programs which are already running in background is via transaction SM50. This displays a

    list of process running in the server. In order to debug the program go to Menu option:

    Program/Mode >Program >Debugging.

    You can check this link as well for more details :

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
