Setting Project-Specific Breakpoint PreferencesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

You can change the user for which external breakpoints are in effect.

Note Debugging SAP public services: HTTP services that are defined under sap/public in transaction SICF are handled without an explicit logon. (They are processed in the system client under a special system user). This means that your ADT breakpoints do not work for debugging sap/public services; a request does not run under your user, and you cannot set an external breakpoint to catch processes of the special system user. One workaround for debugging such services is to make a copy of your service under a different SICF path, sap/bc, for example. Then requests to the service run under your user, and you can stop in the debugger in your ABAP service handler.

Procedure

  1. Open the debugger preference page. (Choose Start of the navigation path Window Next navigation step Preferences Next navigation step ABAP Development Next navigation step Debug End of the navigation path.)
  2. Choose Configure Project Specific Settings... and choose the ABAP Project for which you wish to change the customizing.
  3. [Optionally:] Make IDE breakpoints effective for a user that you specify or for the entire ABAP Project.
  4. [Optionally:] Mark Allow debugging of tool requests if you are developing ABAP components for ABAP Development Tools itself.
