Enabling Debugging using the SAP Management Console
Using the SAP Management Console (SAP MC), you can enable the debugging mode of the Virtual Machine on the fly without the need to restart.
Context
When you enable debugging, a debug port on the application server opens where you can connect your SAP Net Weaver Developer Studio debugger and debug your applications. By default, the debugging mode is not active.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane of the SAP MC, expand the tree structure of the AS Java node and choose Process Table.
- In the result pane, select the server process on which you want to open a debug port and choose Enable Debug from the context menu.
- Choose the Access Points node and check if the debug port is open in the result pane. If the port is not open, the Active state of the port in the result pane is No.
- Choose the Process Table node and check in the result pane if the Debug state of the server process indicates that debugging is switched on.
Results
The debug mode is switched on and the debug port on the application server is open.
