ABAP debugger - Memory monitoring

When in a debugging mode, go to menu --->
Settings -> Memory monitoring (turn on this setting).
However, since this feature is turned on, where do I get the result of the trace?

Hi,
  You can check the results in the debugging mode itself,by clicking the "setting" button after the "overview" button.
Go to table & give the internal table name & it will tell you the Memory Allocated & Memory used by the internal table.
If you click on one of the lines of the internla table,it will give you the memory used by that particular line.

  • Memory monitoring in ABAP debugger

    Can anyone tell me the relevance of memory monitoring in ABAP debugger and and how to use it practically. I have searched the forums but did not find anything.

    Hi Sameer,
    If you choose the Settings pushbutton and select the Memory Monitoring radio button, or if you choose the menu Settings  ® Memory Monitoring, the system will inspect the roll area of the current mode after every ABAP statement. This allows you to check whether neighboring memory areas have been overwritten.
    The system checks of the memory segments  in order to find the memory overwrites for each executed statement. SAP uses this settings internally to find potential kernal bugs. Turning on this setting significantly decreases application performance.
    This internal setting is not relavent for ABAP developers.

  • ABAP Memory value in ABAP Debugger

    Hi,
    Is it possible to view the value of ABAP memory IDs in ABAP debugger?
    I know we can view the active ABAP memory IDs in debugger using Goto -> System Areas -> ABAP Memory
    Whereas my question is for those listed ABAP memory IDs, can we see the value in debugger itself?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Balaji Viswanath.

    Hi,
    Did you sort out your problem yet? I am looking for the same. So far I know one can get the ABAP stack with the FM SYSTEM_CALLSTACK. This returns the stack but I still have not figured out how to access any stack objects yet.
    Let me know,

  • How to use abap debugger and se80

    can any body give easy deatils about it?

    Hi
    Debugger
    This section of the ABAP Workbench documentation provides information on how to use the Debugger as a test tool for finding errors in the source code of an ABAP program.
    Functional Overview
    Use
    The ABAP Debugger is an integrated test tool within the ABAP Workbench. You use it to check the program logic and to find errors in the source code of an ABAP program. In the Debugger, you can step through the source code of a program. The running program is interrupted after each step, allowing you to check its processing logic and the results of individual statements.
    As of Release 6.10, you can also run Business Server Pages (BSP) in the debugging mode. You can also display and set breakpoints here. Business Server Pages can be displayed in the Object Navigator when you select an appropriate application under BSP Application.
    Features
    The Debugger provides an efficient means of identifying errors in ABAP programs. It contains the following functions:
    Ways of starting the Debugger
    Choosing different views
    Choosing different execution options in the Debugger
    Displaying source code in the Debugger
    • Setting and deleting breakpoints
    • Setting and deleting watchpoints
    • Stopping a program at a particular statement or event
    Displaying and changing field contents at runtime
    Displaying ABAP Objects and references
    Displaying and positioning strings
    Setting and deleting database locks
    Opening the ABAP Editor, or Object Navigator
    System settings and runtime warnings
    Starting the Debugger
    There are two possible strategies for starting the Debugger in the ABAP Workbench:
    By setting breakpoints then running the program
    By running the program in debugging mode.
    Setting Breakpoints
    A breakpoint is a signal in a specific line of the program source code. This signal indicates to the ABAP runtime processor to stop the program at the relevant line and start the ABAP Debugger. A distinction is made between static and dynamic breakpoints. For further information about the different types of breakpoints and how to use them, refer to Breakpoints.
    Direct Processing
    You can start the Debugger without previously having set breakpoints. This is the best procedure to use when you want to test a program right from the beginning. It is also a useful procedure if you are not overly familiar with the program and therefore are not sure where best to set breakpoints. You can start the Debugger as follows:
    From the Object Navigator
    Select a report or transaction and choose Program ® Test ® Debugging.
    From the ABAP Editor
    Choose Program ® Execute ® Debugging (or the Debugging pushbutton).
    From any screen
    Choose System ® Utilities ® Debug ABAP.
    From any screen
    Enter /h in the command field.
    Display Modes in the Debugger
    When you are debugging a program, there are various display modes that you can use. All of the display modes have the same structure. The top part of the screen displays an extract of the program source code. The bottom part displays the information specifically available in that display mode. There are also pushbuttons on the screen allowing you to switch to the most frequently-used display modes.
    Display Modes Available Using Pushbuttons
    Fields
    The scrollable field display contains the contents of up to eight fields. The contents of the three most important system fields are always displayed. This is the default display mode in the Debugger. See also Processing Fields
    Table
    Displays the contents of an internal table. This mode allows you to display and edit the entries in an internal table. See also Processing Internal Tables
    Breakpoints
    A scrollable display containing up to 30 breakpoints. Next to each breakpoint is a counter. You can also delete breakpoints in this display. See also Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
    Watchpoints
    You can set a watchpoint for a field so that the program is interrupted whenever the value of that field changes. This display mode contains a list of watchpoints, the fields and programs to which they are assigned, the current values of the fields, and the conditions upon which the watchpoint is activated. See also Setting Watchpoints
    Calls
    This mode displays the current sequence of events, and the sequence of calls up to the current breakpoint. The last active call is displayed at the top of the list; previous calls are listed in reverse chronological order. When an event (for example, START-OF-SELECTION) concludes, it is deleted from the display.
    Overview
    This mode displays the structure of the program. It lists its events, subroutines, and modules, and shows which sections belong to which events. It also displays the section currently being processed.
    Settings
    This mode displays the current Debugger settings. You can change the settings by selecting or deselecting various options. For further information, refer to Settings and Warnings
    Other Display Modes
    You can access other display modes by choosing Goto ® Display data object.
    Single field
    Displays the contents and technical attributes of a field.
    Structured
    field
    Displays the components of a structure, along with their contents and attributes. If you double-click a component, the system displays detailed information for it.
    Strings
    Display the content and current length of the string. You can also display part of the content by means of offset and length.
    Internal table
    Displays the type, line numbers and contents of an internal table.
    Object
    Displays the structure of an ABAP Object.
    For further information on these displays, refer to Displaying Attributes and Displaying ABAP Objects
    Checking System Programs for Errors
    To check a program or program component that is part of the ABAP Workbench (for example, the Screen Painter), you must use the system Debugger. To start the system Debugger, choose System ® Utilities ® Debug System from any screen. To stop the system Debugger, choose Debugger ® Debugging off.
    Displaying Program Attributes
    You can display the attributes Fixed Point Arithmetic, System Program, and Unicode Checks of the program that has just been executed by choosing Goto ® Further Information ® Program Attributes.
    Restarting the Debugger
    If you choose Debugging ® Restart, debugging mode is stopped and the system takes you to the initial screen of the last transaction you called. If, for example, you started an ABAP program in debugging mode from transaction SE38 (ABAP Editor), choosing Debugging ® Restart will take you back to the screen titled ABAP Editor: Initial Screen. If you want to restart the program in debugging mode, choose Debugging.
    Breakpoints
    Apart from direct execution of an ABAP program in the Debugger, it is also possible to start the Debugger call by the exact setting of a breakpoint. This is achieved by setting one or more of these breakpoints in the program. A breakpoint is a signal at a particular point in the program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt processing and start the Debugger. The program runs normally until the breakpoint is reached.
    There is also a special kind of breakpoint called a watchpoint. When you use watchpoints, the Debugger is not activated until the contents of a particular field change. For further information, refer to Watchpoints.
    Breakpoint Variants
    The Debugger contains different breakpoint variants:
    Static
    The BREAK-POINT statement in an ABAP program. Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. However, you can make them user-specific.
    Directly-set
    dynamic breakpoints
    Can be set in the ABAP Editor or the Debugger. Dynamic breakpoints are always user-specific, and are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Breakpoints
    at statement
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified statement is executed.
    Breakpoints
    at subroutine
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified subroutine is called.
    Breakpoint at function module
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified function module is called.
    Breakpoint at method
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified method is called.
    Breakpoints at system exceptions
    The Debugger stops the program directly after a system exception, that is, after a runtime error has been intercepted.
    Static Breakpoints
    Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application, when the program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For further information, refer to Static Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
    Dynamic Breakpoints
    Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints, because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
    You do not have to change the program code
    You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer
    You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached
    Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For further information, refer to Dynamic Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
    Lifetime and Transfer of Breakpoints
    A static breakpoint remains intact as long as the BREAK-POINT or BREAK-POINT name statement is not removed from the source code. Without saving, dynamic breakpoints only remain intact in the relevant internal session. However, they are effective during the entire user session, if they are saved by choosing Breakpoints ® Save in the ABAP Debugger. For more details on the subject of sessions and user sessions, refer to Modularization Techniques in the ABAP keyword documentation.
    If you call an HTTP session during a user session, only the HTTP breakpoints are loaded when the HTTP session is started. You activate HTTP debugging in the ABAP Editor by choosing Utilities ® Settings ® HTTP Debugging. Depending on the setting, the system then displays either the HTTP or standard breakpoints in the Editor.
    If you call an update session during a user session, breakpoints that were defined beforehand in the calling processing unit are copied to the new update session, where they can be displayed under Breakpoints. If, in the ABAP Debugger, you check Update Debugging under Settings and then, for example, call the update module func using CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK, a new window is opened in which you can debug this function module in the update session. All the breakpoints that were set in the calling processing unit can also be processed here.
    Breakpoints at Statements
    You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before an ABAP statement is processed.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint at an ABAP statement:
    1.Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Statement...
    The following dialog box appears:
    2.Enter the ABAP statement.
    The system sets a breakpoint at all points in the program at which the ABAP statement occurs.
    3.Choose ENTER.
    The breakpoint applies to all lines containing the specified statement.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint and adds it to the list in the display. When you finish your debugging session, the breakpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
    Breakpoints at Subroutines
    You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a subroutine is called.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint for a subroutine:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Event/Subroutine.
    The following dialog box then appears:
    Enter the name of the subroutine before which you want to interrupt the program. By default, the Program field contains the name of the program that is currently active. The system sets a breakpoint wherever the specified subroutine occurs in the program code.
    Choose ENTER.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the breakpoints displayed.
    Breakpoints at Function Module
    You can use this kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a function module is called.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint for a function module:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Function module...
    The following dialog box appears:
    Enter the name of the function module before which you want to interrupt the program. The system sets a breakpoint wherever the specified event, module pool, or subroutine occurs in the program code.
    Choose ENTER.
    Result
    If you entered a valid function module name, the system confirms that the breakpoint has been set. If the function module exists in the system, the new breakpoint is added to the display list.
    Breakpoints at Methods
    You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a method is called.
    Prerequisites
    You must be already running the program in the debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint for methods:
    1. Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Method...
    The following dialog box then appears:
    2. Enter the name of the method and class before which you want to interrupt the program. A breakpoint is then set each time the specified processing block appears in the source code.
    3. Choose ENTER.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the list in the display.
    Breakpoints at System Exceptions
    You can use this special form of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program immediately after a runtime error has occurred.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint at a system exception:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® System exception.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the breakpoints displayed.
    When a system exception is triggered, a warning triangle appears in the line containing the statement that caused it. If you double-click the warning triangle, the internal name of the runtime error appears.
    Static Breakpoints
    You should only use static breakpoints during the development phase of an application. You must remove them from your program before you transport it.
    Setting Breakpoints
    To set a static breakpoint, use the ABAP statement BREAK-POINT . Place the breakpoint in the line at which you want to interrupt the program.
    program RSDEBUG_01.
    if SY-SUBRC 0.
    break-point.
    endif.
    When you run the program, the runtime processor interrupts it when the breakpoints occur. You can number your breakpoints to make them easier to identify ( BREAK-POINT 1, BREAK-POINT 2 …).
    Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. The program is, therefore, always interrupted as soon as the runtime processor reaches the line containing the breakpoint. The program is interrupted regardless of the user who executes it.
    However, you can set user-specific static breakpoints using the BREAK statement followed by your user name. For example, if you use the statement BREAK SMITH , the program is only interrupted when user Smith runs it. Although user-specific breakpoints appear in the program code, they are not active when other users run the program. You should, however, be careful if an application is being used by several users with the same name.
    Deleting Breakpoints
    Since static breakpoints apply to all users, you must remove them from the program once you have finished testing it. In the ABAP Editor, you can find breakpoints quickly by choosing Utilities ® Global search. You can also use the Extended Program Check to find them.
    If you do not remove static breakpoints from your program, they will be transported to your production system. This could cause serious problems in the production system.
    Dynamic Breakpoints
    You can set up to 30 dynamic breakpoints without changing the program code. Dynamic breakpoints can be set either in the ABAP Editor or directly in the Debugger.
    Setting Dynamic Breakpoints in the ABAP Editor
    You can set dynamic breakpoints in the ABAP Editor regardless of whether you are in display or change mode. You can also set breakpoints directly from within the Debugger at runtime. To set a dynamic breakpoint in the ABAP Editor:
    Position the cursor on the line of the source code at which you want to set the breakpoint.
    Choose Utilities ® Breakpoints ® Set or the Stop icon. The system confirms that the breakpoint has been set.
    To display a list of all dynamic breakpoints in a program, choose Utilities ® Breakpoints ® Display. You can use this list to navigate to a particular breakpoint or to delete one or more breakpoints from the program.
    Setting Dynamic Breakpoints in Debugging Mode
    To set a dynamic breakpoint in the Debugger:
    Position the cursor on the line in which you want to set the breakpoint.
    Select the line by double-clicking it or choosing Breakpoint ® Set/delete.
    The system sets the breakpoint, and displays a small stop sign to the left of the relevant line. If the line already contained a breakpoint, it is deleted.
    When you finish your debugging session, the breakpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
    Saving Breakpoints
    If you want to leave the Debugger temporarily, you can save your dynamic breakpoints so that they are still active when you return to the Debugger within the same terminal session.
    To save the breakpoints that you have set in the Debugger:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Save.
    The system saves all of the breakpoints that you have set in the current program. These breakpoints will remain active until you either explicitly delete them or log off from the system.
    You can also delete breakpoints that you have saved:
    By deleting individual breakpoints from the display and then saving again. In this case, only your selected breakpoints will be deleted.
    By choosing Breakpoint ® Delete all. In this case, the system deletes all dynamic breakpoints.
    Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
    The ABAP Debugger provides a convenient user interface for managing breakpoints. To open the breakpoint display, choose Breakpoints, or, from the menu, Goto ® Control debugging ® Breakpoints.
    Example
    Functions
    This display mode contains the following functions for breakpoints:
    Breakpoint Display
    The scrollable breakpoint display contains up to 30 dynamic breakpoints. For breakpoints that you set directly, the program name and line number at which the breakpoint occurs are displayed. For special breakpoint forms, the list displays the statements, events, subroutines, and module calls at which the relevant breakpoints are set.
    Counter
    In the breakpoint display, you can specify a counter. When you use a counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it has been reached a specified number of times. For example, if you enter 5 for the counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it is reached for the fifth time. After the breakpoint has been activated, it remains so, and the counter no longer appears in the breakpoint display.
    Deleting Breakpoints
    Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to delete, and either double-click the line or choose Breakpoint ® Set/delete. To delete all breakpoints, choose Breakpoint ® Delete all.
    Activating and Deactivating Breakpoints
    Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to activate or deactivate and choose Breakpoint ® Activate/deactivate.
    Watchpoints
    Like a breakpoint, a watchpoint is an indicator in a program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt the program at a particular point. Unlike breakpoints, however, watchpoints are not activated until the contents of a specified field change. Watchpoints, like dynamic breakpoints, are user-specific, and so do not affect other users running the same program. You can only define watchpoints in the Debugger.
    Use
    You set watchpoints in the Debugger to monitor the contents of specific fields. They inform you when the value of a field changes. When the value changes, the Debugger interrupts the program.
    Features
    You can set up to five watchpoints in a program.
    See also Setting Watchpoints.
    You can also specify the conditions on which a watchpoint is to become active.
    You can specify logical conditions between up to five conditional watchpoints.
    See Specifying a Logical Expression.
    You can define watchpoints as either local or global. If you define a global watchpoint, it is active in all called programs. Local watchpoints are only active in the specified program.
    You can change and delete watchpoints.
    See Changing Watchpoints.
    You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables.
    See Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
    Setting Watchpoints
    If you want to interrupt a program when the contents of a field or structure change, use a watchpoint. You can set up to five watchpoints, including watchpoints for strings.
    A watchpoint can be either local or global. Local watchpoints are only valid in the specified program. Global watchpoints are valid in the specified program, and also in all the other programs it calls.
    Procedure
    To set a watchpoint, start the Debugger and proceed as follows:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Create watchpoint or the corresponding pushbutton. The Create Watchpoint dialog box appears:
    Decide whether you want to set a local or global watchpoint.
    Enter the program and the name of the field for which you want to set the watchpoint. In the Program field, the name of the program currently running is always defaulted.
    If you want your watchpoint to be activated each time the contents of the field change, the definition is now complete, and you can return to the Debugger by pressing ENTER .
    To create a conditional watchpoint, that is only activated when a particular situation arises, choose one of the following relational operators.
    Operator
    Meaning
    <
    Less than
    <=
    Less than or equal
    =
    Equal
    <>
    Not equal
    =
    Greater than or equal
    Greater than
    You can use the Comparison field option to specify whether the comparison is to be carried out with a value that you specify or with the contents of another field. Depending on your choice from step 6, enter a value or a field for the comparison.
    Result
    The system confirms the watchpoint and adds it to the list in the display. When you finish your debugging session, the watchpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
    Specifying Logical Links
    If you have more than one conditional watchpoint, you can specify a logical link between them:
    OR
    Only one of the specified conditions must be met
    AND
    All of the conditions must be met.
    Changing Watchpoints
    Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to display the watchpoint list. The following dialog box appears:
    Choose the pencil icon in the line containing the watchpoint you want to change.
    Change the watchpoint attributes in the Create/Change Watchpoint.
    Choose ENTER .
    Deleting Watchpoints
    You cannot delete watchpoints by choosing Breakpoint ® Delete or Breakpoint ® Deactivate/activate. Instead, proceed as follows:
    Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to display the watchpoint list.
    Choose the trashcan icon in the line containing the watchpoint you want to delete.
    Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
    You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables. By placing an ampersand (&) in front of the object name, you can display the reference in question in hexadecimal format. With internal tables, you can also display the table header by placing an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the name.
    &objectname
    Displays the references of strings, internal tables as well as data and object references
    *itab
    Displays the table header of the internal table itab
    Example
    If a watchpoint is set for the object in question at runtime, the program is stopped as soon as the reference is changed. A short dump can be intercepted in this way to stop the program being terminated when the memory is overwritten.
    Analyzing Source Code
    The Debugger contains an extensive range of functions that help you to analyze the source code of a program. You can step through the source code of a program in four different ways. For further information, refer to Stepping Through the Source Code
    For information about functions within the source code display, see Displaying the Source Code
    There are also different display modes that provide various information and display the contents of individual fields, tables, and so on:

    Starting the Debugger
    There are two possible strategies for starting the Debugger in the ABAP Workbench:
    By setting breakpoints then running the program
    By running the program in debugging mode.
    Setting Breakpoints
    A breakpoint is a signal in a specific line of the program source code. This signal indicates to the ABAP runtime processor to stop the program at the relevant line and start the ABAP Debugger. A distinction is made between static and dynamic breakpoints. For further information about the different types of breakpoints and how to use them, refer to Breakpoints.
    Direct Processing
    You can start the Debugger without previously having set breakpoints. This is the best procedure to use when you want to test a program right from the beginning. It is also a useful procedure if you are not overly familiar with the program and therefore are not sure where best to set breakpoints. You can start the Debugger as follows:
    From the Object Navigator

    Displays the contents of an internal table. This mode allows you to display and edit the entries in an internal table. See also Processing Internal Tables
    Breakpoints
    A scrollable display containing up to 30 breakpoints. Next to each breakpoint is a counter. You can also delete breakpoints in this display. See also Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
    Watchpoints
    You can set a watchpoint for a field so that the program is interrupted whenever the value of that field changes. This display mode contains a list of watchpoints, the fields and programs to which they are assigned, the current values of the fields, and the conditions upon which the watchpoint is activated. See also Setting Watchpoints
    Calls
    This mode displays the current sequence of events, and the sequence of calls up to the current breakpoint. The last active call is displayed at the top of the list; previous calls are listed in reverse chronological order. When an event (for example, START-OF-SELECTION) concludes, it is deleted from the display.
    Overview
    This mode displays the structure of the program. It lists its events, subroutines, and modules, and shows which sections belong to which events. It also displays the section currently being processed.
    Settings
    This mode displays the current Debugger settings. You can change the settings by selecting or deselecting various options. For further information, refer to Settings and Warnings
    Other Display Modes
    You can access other display modes by choosing Goto ® Display data object.
    Single field
    Displays the contents and technical attributes of a field.
    Structured
    field
    Displays the components of a structure, along with their contents and attributes. If you double-click a component, the system displays detailed information for it.
    Strings
    Display the content and current length of the string. You can also display part of the content by means of offset and length.
    Internal table
    Displays the type, line numbers and contents of an internal table.
    Object
    Displays the structure of an ABAP Object.
    For further information on these displays, refer to Displaying Attributes and Displaying ABAP Objects
    Checking System Programs for Errors
    To check a program or program component that is part of the ABAP Workbench (for example, the Screen Painter), you must use the system Debugger. To start the system Debugger, choose System ® Utilities ® Debug System from any screen. To stop the system Debugger, choose Debugger ® Debugging off.
    Displaying Program Attributes
    You can display the attributes Fixed Point Arithmetic, System Program, and Unicode Checks of the program that has just been executed by choosing Goto ® Further Information ® Program Attributes.
    Restarting the Debugger
    If you choose Debugging ® Restart, debugging mode is stopped and the system takes you to the initial screen of the last transaction you called. If, for example, you started an ABAP program in debugging mode from transaction SE38 (ABAP Editor), choosing Debugging ® Restart will take you back to the screen titled ABAP Editor: Initial Screen. If you want to restart the program in debugging mode, choose Debugging.
    Breakpoints
    Apart from direct execution of an ABAP program in the Debugger, it is also possible to start the Debugger call by the exact setting of a breakpoint. This is achieved by setting one or more of these breakpoints in the program. A breakpoint is a signal at a particular point in the program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt processing and start the Debugger. The program runs normally until the breakpoint is reached.
    There is also a special kind of breakpoint called a watchpoint. When you use watchpoints, the Debugger is not activated until the contents of a particular field change. For further information, refer to Watchpoints.
    Breakpoint Variants
    The Debugger contains different breakpoint variants:
    Static
    The BREAK-POINT statement in an ABAP program. Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. However, you can make them user-specific.
    Directly-set
    dynamic breakpoints
    Can be set in the ABAP Editor or the Debugger. Dynamic breakpoints are always user-specific, and are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Breakpoints
    at statement
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified statement is executed.
    Breakpoints
    at subroutine
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified subroutine is called.
    Breakpoint at function module
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified function module is called.
    Breakpoint at method
    The Debugger stops the program directly before the specified method is called.
    Breakpoints at system exceptions
    The Debugger stops the program directly after a system exception, that is, after a runtime error has been intercepted.
    Static Breakpoints
    Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application, when the program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For further information, refer to Static Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
    Dynamic Breakpoints
    Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints, because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
    You do not have to change the program code
    You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer
    You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached
    Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For further information, refer to Dynamic Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
    Lifetime and Transfer of Breakpoints
    A static breakpoint remains intact as long as the BREAK-POINT or BREAK-POINT name statement is not removed from the source code. Without saving, dynamic breakpoints only remain intact in the relevant internal session. However, they are effective during the entire user session, if they are saved by choosing Breakpoints ® Save in the ABAP Debugger. For more details on the subject of sessions and user sessions, refer to Modularization Techniques in the ABAP keyword documentation.
    If you call an HTTP session during a user session, only the HTTP breakpoints are loaded when the HTTP session is started. You activate HTTP debugging in the ABAP Editor by choosing Utilities ® Settings ® HTTP Debugging. Depending on the setting, the system then displays either the HTTP or standard breakpoints in the Editor.
    If you call an update session during a user session, breakpoints that were defined beforehand in the calling processing unit are copied to the new update session, where they can be displayed under Breakpoints. If, in the ABAP Debugger, you check Update Debugging under Settings and then, for example, call the update module func using CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK, a new window is opened in which you can debug this function module in the update session. All the breakpoints that were set in the calling processing unit can also be processed here.
    Breakpoints at Statements
    You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before an ABAP statement is processed.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint at an ABAP statement:
    1.Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Statement...
    The following dialog box appears:
    2.Enter the ABAP statement.
    The system sets a breakpoint at all points in the program at which the ABAP statement occurs.
    3.Choose ENTER.
    The breakpoint applies to all lines containing the specified statement.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint and adds it to the list in the display. When you finish your debugging session, the breakpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
    Breakpoints at Subroutines
    You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a subroutine is called.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint for a subroutine:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Event/Subroutine.
    The following dialog box then appears:
    Enter the name of the subroutine before which you want to interrupt the program. By default, the Program field contains the name of the program that is currently active. The system sets a breakpoint wherever the specified subroutine occurs in the program code.
    Choose ENTER.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the breakpoints displayed.
    Breakpoints at Function Module
    You can use this kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a function module is called.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint for a function module:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Function module...
    The following dialog box appears:
    Enter the name of the function module before which you want to interrupt the program. The system sets a breakpoint wherever the specified event, module pool, or subroutine occurs in the program code.
    Choose ENTER.
    Result
    If you entered a valid function module name, the system confirms that the breakpoint has been set. If the function module exists in the system, the new breakpoint is added to the display list.
    Breakpoints at Methods
    You can use this special kind of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program directly before a method is called.
    Prerequisites
    You must be already running the program in the debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint for methods:
    1. Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® Method...
    The following dialog box then appears:
    2. Enter the name of the method and class before which you want to interrupt the program. A breakpoint is then set each time the specified processing block appears in the source code.
    3. Choose ENTER.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the list in the display.
    Breakpoints at System Exceptions
    You can use this special form of dynamic breakpoint to interrupt a program immediately after a runtime error has occurred.
    Prerequisites
    You must already be running the program in the Debugger.
    Procedure
    To set a breakpoint at a system exception:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Breakpoint at ® System exception.
    Result
    The system confirms the breakpoint. The breakpoint is added to the breakpoints displayed.
    When a system exception is triggered, a warning triangle appears in the line containing the statement that caused it. If you double-click the warning triangle, the internal name of the runtime error appears.
    Static Breakpoints
    You should only use static breakpoints during the development phase of an application. You must remove them from your program before you transport it.
    Setting Breakpoints
    To set a static breakpoint, use the ABAP statement BREAK-POINT . Place the breakpoint in the line at which you want to interrupt the program.
    program RSDEBUG_01.
    if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    break-point.
    endif.
    When you run the program, the runtime processor interrupts it when the breakpoints occur. You can number your breakpoints to make them easier to identify ( BREAK-POINT 1, BREAK-POINT 2 …).
    Static breakpoints are not normally user-specific. The program is, therefore, always interrupted as soon as the runtime processor reaches the line containing the breakpoint. The program is interrupted regardless of the user who executes it.
    However, you can set user-specific static breakpoints using the BREAK statement followed by your user name. For example, if you use the statement BREAK SMITH , the program is only interrupted when user Smith runs it. Although user-specific breakpoints appear in the program code, they are not active when other users run the program. You should, however, be careful if an application is being used by several users with the same name.
    Deleting Breakpoints
    Since static breakpoints apply to all users, you must remove them from the program once you have finished testing it. In the ABAP Editor, you can find breakpoints quickly by choosing Utilities ® Global search. You can also use the Extended Program Check to find them.
    If you do not remove static breakpoints from your program, they will be transported to your production system. This could cause serious problems in the production system.
    Dynamic Breakpoints
    You can set up to 30 dynamic breakpoints without changing the program code. Dynamic breakpoints can be set either in the ABAP Editor or directly in the Debugger.
    Setting Dynamic Breakpoints in the ABAP Editor
    You can set dynamic breakpoints in the ABAP Editor regardless of whether you are in display or change mode. You can also set breakpoints directly from within the Debugger at runtime. To set a dynamic breakpoint in the ABAP Editor:
    Position the cursor on the line of the source code at which you want to set the breakpoint.
    Choose Utilities ® Breakpoints ® Set or the Stop icon. The system confirms that the breakpoint has been set.
    To display a list of all dynamic breakpoints in a program, choose Utilities ® Breakpoints ® Display. You can use this list to navigate to a particular breakpoint or to delete one or more breakpoints from the program.
    Setting Dynamic Breakpoints in Debugging Mode
    To set a dynamic breakpoint in the Debugger:
    Position the cursor on the line in which you want to set the breakpoint.
    Select the line by double-clicking it or choosing Breakpoint ® Set/delete.
    The system sets the breakpoint, and displays a small stop sign to the left of the relevant line. If the line already contained a breakpoint, it is deleted.
    When you finish your debugging session, the breakpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
    Saving Breakpoints
    If you want to leave the Debugger temporarily, you can save your dynamic breakpoints so that they are still active when you return to the Debugger within the same terminal session.
    To save the breakpoints that you have set in the Debugger:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Save.
    The system saves all of the breakpoints that you have set in the current program. These breakpoints will remain active until you either explicitly delete them or log off from the system.
    You can also delete breakpoints that you have saved:
    By deleting individual breakpoints from the display and then saving again. In this case, only your selected breakpoints will be deleted.
    By choosing Breakpoint ® Delete all. In this case, the system deletes all dynamic breakpoints.
    Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
    The ABAP Debugger provides a convenient user interface for managing breakpoints. To open the breakpoint display, choose Breakpoints, or, from the menu, Goto ® Control debugging ® Breakpoints.
    Example
    Functions
    This display mode contains the following functions for breakpoints:
    Breakpoint Display
    The scrollable breakpoint display contains up to 30 dynamic breakpoints. For breakpoints that you set directly, the program name and line number at which the breakpoint occurs are displayed. For special breakpoint forms, the list displays the statements, events, subroutines, and module calls at which the relevant breakpoints are set.
    Counter
    In the breakpoint display, you can specify a counter. When you use a counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it has been reached a specified number of times. For example, if you enter 5 for the counter, the breakpoint is not activated until it is reached for the fifth time. After the breakpoint has been activated, it remains so, and the counter no longer appears in the breakpoint display.
    Deleting Breakpoints
    Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to delete, and either double-click the line or choose Breakpoint ® Set/delete. To delete all breakpoints, choose Breakpoint ® Delete all.
    Activating and Deactivating Breakpoints
    Position the cursor on the breakpoint that you want to activate or deactivate and choose Breakpoint ® Activate/deactivate.
    Watchpoints
    Like a breakpoint, a watchpoint is an indicator in a program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt the program at a particular point. Unlike breakpoints, however, watchpoints are not activated until the contents of a specified field change. Watchpoints, like dynamic breakpoints, are user-specific, and so do not affect other users running the same program. You can only define watchpoints in the Debugger.
    Use
    You set watchpoints in the Debugger to monitor the contents of specific fields. They inform you when the value of a field changes. When the value changes, the Debugger interrupts the program.
    Features
    You can set up to five watchpoints in a program.
    See also Setting Watchpoints.
    You can also specify the conditions on which a watchpoint is to become active.
    You can specify logical conditions between up to five conditional watchpoints.
    See Specifying a Logical Expression.
    You can define watchpoints as either local or global. If you define a global watchpoint, it is active in all called programs. Local watchpoints are only active in the specified program.
    You can change and delete watchpoints.
    See Changing Watchpoints.
    You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables.
    See Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
    Setting Watchpoints
    If you want to interrupt a program when the contents of a field or structure change, use a watchpoint. You can set up to five watchpoints, including watchpoints for strings.
    A watchpoint can be either local or global. Local watchpoints are only valid in the specified program. Global watchpoints are valid in the specified program, and also in all the other programs it calls.
    Procedure
    To set a watchpoint, start the Debugger and proceed as follows:
    Choose Breakpoint ® Create watchpoint or the corresponding pushbutton. The Create Watchpoint dialog box appears:
    Decide whether you want to set a local or global watchpoint.
    Enter the program and the name of the field for which you want to set the watchpoint. In the Program field, the name of the program currently running is always defaulted.
    If you want your watchpoint to be activated each time the contents of the field change, the definition is now complete, and you can return to the Debugger by pressing ENTER .
    To create a conditional watchpoint, that is only activated when a particular situation arises, choose one of the following relational operators.
    Operator
    Meaning
    <<br /> Less than
    <=
    Less than or equal
    =
    Equal
    <>
    Not equal
    >= Greater than or equal
    Greater than
    You can use the Comparison field option to specify whether the comparison is to be carried out with a value that you specify or with the contents of another field. Depending on your choice from step 6, enter a value or a field for the comparison.
    Result
    The system confirms the watchpoint and adds it to the list in the display. When you finish your debugging session, the watchpoint is automatically deleted unless you have explicitly saved it.
    Specifying Logical Links
    If you have more than one conditional watchpoint, you can specify a logical link between them:
    OR
    Only one of the specified conditions must be met
    AND
    All of the conditions must be met.
    Changing Watchpoints
    Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to display the watchpoint list. The following dialog box appears:
    Choose the pencil icon in the line containing the watchpoint you want to change.
    Change the watchpoint attributes in the Create/Change Watchpoint.
    Choose ENTER .
    Deleting Watchpoints
    You cannot delete watchpoints by choosing Breakpoint ® Delete or Breakpoint ® Deactivate/activate. Instead, proceed as follows:
    Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to display the watchpoint list.
    Choose the trashcan icon in the line containing the watchpoint you want to delete.
    Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
    You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables. By placing an ampersand (&) in front of the object name, you can display the reference in question in hexadecimal format. With internal tables, you can also display the table header by placing an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the name.
    &objectname
    Displays the references of strings, internal tables as well as data and object references
    *itab
    Displays the table header of the internal table itab
    Example
    If a watchpoint is set for the object in question at runtime, the program is stopped as soon as the reference is changed. A short dump can be intercepted in this way to stop the program being terminated when the memory is overwritten.
    Analyzing Source Code
    The Debugger contains an extensive range of functions that help you to analyze the source code of a program. You can step through the source code of a program in four different ways. For further information, refer to Stepping Through the Source Code
    For information about functions within the source code display, see Displaying the Source Code
    There are also different display modes that provide various information and display the contents of individual fields, tables, and so on:
    Reward if usefull
    To create a logical link between watchpoints:
    Choose Goto ® Control debugging ® Watchpoints or the Watchpoints pushbutton to open the watchpoint display.
    Set the Logical operator between watchpoints option.
    The default value is always OR .

  • Every transaction ends in abap debugger

    hi experts,
    recently i have installed netwaver 7.0 sneak preview on my system until now it was working fine
    bit today when i activate transformation,dtp,infopackage... anything transaction ends in abap debugger
    in program GENERATOR object reference METRSDS cant find any dump or trace in st22 or st11.
    please help me out.
    sanjeev

    Hi Sanjeev,
    As you said you have newly installed BI 7.0 have you run the SGEN?
    SGEN is transaction which compiles all transactions and buffere them in memory. So that when every you run any transaction it does not take much time.
    After installing any SAP system running SGEN is mandartory. Generally SGEN takes 6-7 hours to complete.

  • Differences between ABAP debugger of 4.7 and ECC 6.0

    Hey guys,
    I would really appreaciate any statements/documents that can help me determine the differences of abap debugger between these 2 versions.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Rgds,
    Mark

    Debugger in R6.1
    Modification 1
    Displaying program attributes
    If you choose Goto &#8594; Further Information &#8594; Program Attributes then the system will display the attributes fixed point arithmetic, system program, and Unicode check.
    Modification 2
    Displaying data references
    If you double-click a data reference in the Field Name column then the subsequent screen will contain technical information about that reference. A double click in the Field Contentcolumn will display the content of the data reference. The object referred to will be displayed, if you doubleclick the data reference dref->*in the Field Name column.
    Modification 3
    Special display of deep data objects
    To display the headers of strings, internal tables, data references, and object references, you must prefix them with an asterisk. For example, to display the header of the internal table itab in hexadecimal form, you must enter *itab in the Field Namecolumn. In the case of tables without headers the field content only contains zeroes.
    If you prefix the data object name with an ampersand, the relevant reference to the string, internal table, data reference, or object reference is displayed in hexadecimal form. For example, specifying &str will display the reference to the string str.
    Modification 4
    Setting breakpoints in methods
    By choosing Breakpoint &#8594; Breakpoint at &#8594; Method you can set a breakpoint for a method.
    Modification 5
    Support for class based-exceptions
    The following functions are available if an exception occurs:
    If the INTO ref addition is missing from the CATCHstatement, you can create an exception object in the Debugger under Settings.
    If you choose the Display Exception Objecticon, the system will display the attributes and interfaces of the exception class with their contents in the subsequent screen.
    If you choose Statement That Caused the Exception the system goes to the line in the source code in which the exception was caused. The statement that caused the exception is explicitly indicated in the source code.
    Modification 6
    Debugging mode for Business Server Pages with ABAP scripting
    Business Server Pages (BSP) can now be run in debugging mode. It is also possible to display and set breakpoints. Business Server Pages can be displayed in the Object Navigator, if you select an appropriate application by choosing BSP Applications.
    Modification 7
    Copying breakpoints from HTTP and update sessions
    If you call an HTTP or update session from a logical unit of work (LUW) then a new work process will be started for this session. Any breakpoints that were set in this calling logical unit of work are carried over to the new sessions and can be displayed by choosing Breakpoints. For example, if you call the update module funcusing CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK, then the new work process will be displayed in a new window, provided you selected Update Debugging under Settingsin debugging mode. Here you can process all the breakpoints that were set in the calling logical unit of work.
    Modification 8
    Displaying instructions for the database interface
    You can now check the last statements sent to the database. In order to do so, choose Goto &#8594; System &#8594; System Areasafter the Debugger has been started and enter Area = OSQL in the input field.
    Modification 9
    Forward and backward navigation in the source text
    If you choose Debugging &#8594; Goto Statement, then the system will go to that line in which the cursor is positioned. This allows simple forward and backward navigation within the displayed source code.
    Modification 10
    Displaying memory consumption
    If you choose Settings &#8594; Memory Display On/Off, the system displays the memory consumption for objects, tables, references, or individual fields. In so doing, it differentiates between allocated and referenced memory and also displays the memory consumption actually used for every data object.
    To see a hit list of the 25 data objects with the highest memory consumption choose Goto &#8594; System &#8594; System Areas. The following values can be entered in the Areafield:
    ITAB-TOP25 for the display of internal tables
    OBJ-TOP25 for the display of objects
    REF-TOP25 for the display of references
    ALL-TOP25 for the display of all data objects
    Modification 11
    Displaying Unicode fragment view
    If you choose Goto &#8594; Display Data Object &#8594; System Information, the system displays the Unicode fragment view. In this view structures, internal tables, strings, data references, and objects are broken down into alignment gaps, byte areas and chracter-type areas and all other types - such as P, I, F, strings, references or internal tables.
    The system groups adjacent, character-type components - with the exception of strings - only if there are no alignment gaps between these components. In so doing, it observes all alignment requirements. In the same way, adjacent byte-type components are also grouped together.
    reward appropraite points.

    Date and Time          06.06.2009 14:21:35
    Short text
    SAP paging overflow when storing data in the ABAP/4 memory.
    What happened?
    The current program requested storage space from the SAP paging area,
    but this request could not be fulfilled.
    of this area in the SAP system profile.
    What can you do?
    Note which actions and input led to the error.
    For further help in handling the problem, contact your SAP administrator
    You can use the ABAP dump analysis transaction ST22 to view and manage
    termination messages, in particular for long term reference.
    Error analysis
    The ABAP/4 runtime system and the ABAP/4 compiler use a common
    interface to store different types of data in different parts of
    the SAP paging area. This data includes the
    ABAP/4 memory (EXPORT TO MEMORY), the SUBMIT REPORT parameters,
    CALL DIALOG and CALL TRANSACTION USING, as well as internally defined
    macros (specified with DEFINE).
    To store further data in the SAP paging area, you attempted to
    allocate a new SAP paging block, but no more blocks were
    available.
    When the SAP paging overflow occurred, the ABAP/4 memory contained
    entries for 20 of different IDs.
    Please note:
    To facilitate error handling, the ABAP/4 memory was
    deleted.
    How to correct the error
    The amount of storage space (in bytes) filled at termination time was:
    Roll area...................... 8176
    Extended memory (EM)........... 13587912
    Assigned memory (HEAP)......... 0
    Short area..................... " "
    Paging area.................... 40960
    Maximum address space.......... " "
    By calling Transaction SM04 and choosing 'Goto' -> 'Block list',
    you can display an overview of the current roll and paging memory
    levels resulting from active users and their transactions. Try to
    decide from this whether another program requires a lot of memory
    space (perhaps too much).
    The system log contains more detailed information about the
    termination. Check for any unwanted recursion.
    Determine whether the error also occurs with small volumes of
    data. Check the profile (parameter "rdisp/PG_MAXFS", see
    Installation Guidelines).
    Is the disk or the file system that contains the paging file
    full to the extent that it cannot be increased, although it has
    not yet reached the size defined in the profile? Is the
    operating system configured to accommodate files of such a
    size?
    The ABAP processor stores different types of data in the SAP
    paging area. These include:
    (1) Data clusters (EXPORT ... TO MEMORY ...)
    (2) Parameters for calling programs (SUBMIT REPORT ...),
    Dialog modules (CALL DIALOG ...) and transactions
    (CALL TRANSACTION USING ...)
    (3) Internally defined program macros (DEFINE ...)
    Accordingly, you should check the relevant statements in a program
    that results in an overflow of the SAP paging area.
    It is critical when many internal tables, possibly with
    different IDs, are written to memory (EXPORT).
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "MEMORY_NO_MORE_PAGING" " "
    "SAPLWDTM" or "LWDTMU20"
    "TABC_ACTIVATE_AND_UPDATE"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
    To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
    Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
    Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
    program: The source code of the program
    In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
    Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
    actions and input led to the error.

    Hi Huggins,
    Maintenance of the Paging File is owned by your basis team.
    They should increase this in order for your transaction to process successfully.
    Just for your reference, in case the OS used is windows server 2003, paging file value can be checked through;
    Right click in the My Computer&gt;properties.
    Then go to Advance tab;
    Then there should be a performance section, click the settings
    Then Advance tab again. The paging file can be seen from there.
    (and can be adjusted from there also)
    The value of the paging file in general will be dependent with the available RAM from the hardware.
    Hope this helps. Thanks a lot.

  • How to use Memory Monitor on Sun ONE Studio 4 ??

    Hello,
    I am creating a midlet using the Nokia 7210 emulator. When trying to load a Canvas, an "Unable to run application" alert appears and the midlet quits.
    Presuming this is due to a memory problem, I've inserted a System.gc() call before I create the new canvas, but the midlet still exits.
    So to help me get to the bottom of it, I thought I had best try s1s4's Memory Monitor utlity - but I can't get it to work. I have ticked the 'Enable Memory Monitor' box on the Monitor tab of Preferences for the Installed Emulator (J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.4_01), but nothing happens after the midlet runs and quits.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks in advance,
    James

    I don't know. I've never tried.
    Look at the manual (7210midpSimGuide.pdf in the docs directory). Maybe there is something in there. In the command line options there are a bunch of tracing options that you can specify, like tracing allocations, garbage collections, stackmaps, etc.

  • Timeout Issue in ABAP Debugger

    Hi All,
             Is there any way to increase the timeout for ABAP Debugger. Whenever  I have to cebug, and if i need to check other application at the same time, once I come back to debugger, it gets exited , due to TIMEOUT.
    Can you please help.
    Regards.,
    Muzammil.

    Hi,
    I think the execution of your program is taking a lot of time....check your logic of the program...avoid nested loops..try to increase the performance of your program....avoid nested queries...you can take help from the internet about " how to increase the program's performance"....your problem will be solved...this is not the BASIS issue...

  • Create PO cause ABAP debugger

    Hello all:
    When i use me22n/me23n to change/display PO,as soon as i click Item Detail, the ABAP debugger screen popup.
    I know nothing about ABAP,the code is "method IF_EX_ME_PO_PRICING_CUST~PROCESS_KOMK.
    BREAK-POINT. endmethod."
    Can somebody gave me some advice?
    With Regards
    Edited by: king xin on Nov 11, 2010 4:05 AM

    Hi,
    It seems you have asked you ABAPer to apply some code for pricing in BADi and he would have activated the Break-Point for this. Just show to him and ask him to delete the Break-Point.

  • Neb ABAP Debugger Problem

    Hi Friends,
    I am working on SAP GUI 710 & ECC 6. When I am debugging, new abap debugger is opening and I can do analysis normally. When we finish the debugging and want to exit, the debugging session is not closing and i get the following message on top of beugging window "ABAP Debugger Control Session 3 (Exclisive)". I want to know if there is any settings to be done to aviod this.
    Thanks.............
    Regards,
    Chandu

    Hi Prabhakar,
    What actually you are quoting as a problem is standard behavior of ECC 6 New debugger. As you open first debugger session it always display in header "ABAP Debugger Control Session #  (Exclusive/ Not exclusive)' and this debugger will be separately closed when the full program will be executed and if you are in mid of execution then this debugger will not be closed. I simulated the scenario for a print program ad checked the same.
    Please re vert back in case of still problem persist.
    Thanks,
    Anshul
