Bitrate and break point problems

Hello All,
I am trying to create a dual layer dvd containing 37 chapters (all average 3 min. a piece) and 2 audio tracks (one with commentary) with DVD studio Pro 3. On my first build, the disc meter was 7.6 GB large. On a dual layer this should fit with no problems, right? The build got to muxing and cancelled saying "the video bitrate is too high". I read somewhere on these posts that this doesn't matter too much if you're planning on burning to Toast, which is what I was going to do. So I tried formatting and I keep getting the "can't find a suitable break point error". I then tried making several of the chapter markers break points but it didn't like any of them and I still keep getting the same error message on formatting. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Carson:
Wellcome to the forum!
High bitrate
First at all, you probably are using AIFF audio (uncompressed). If that's the case encode your audio to Dolby 2.0 (AC·) and you'll get a lower total bitrate and more free space.
You must look for A.Pack app in your applications folder to encode to AC3. You can take a look to this tutorial about Encoding AC3 with A.Pack (from KenStone site).
You didn't mention your MPEG2 encoding settings, did you used any standard Compressor preset?
37 chapters x 3 min means less than 120 minutes. Encoding your audio to AC3 and using the 120 Min Compressor preset will let you fit your project in a DVD5.
Hope it helps !

  • What is the utility of watch point and break point in ABAP DEBUGGING !

    What is the utility of watch point and break point in ABAP DEBUGGING !
    PLEASE TELL ME IN DETAILS AND IF POSSIBLE WITH SCREEN SHOTS !

    Hi,
    Breakpoints, Watchpoints, and Checkpoints
    Summary
    The standard Breakpoints tool is always located on the Breakpoints desktop. With this tool, you can manage breakpoints, watchpoints and checkpoints. In addition, you can monitor the current status of the different breakpoint types.
    Detailed Description
    Breakpoints
    In the Breakpoints area, you will see a list of all the breakpoints set so far. If one of the breakpoints has just been reached, this is marked with a yellow arrow. The visibility (Debugger, session, user) and type (line, ABAP command, …) is displayed for each breakpoint.
    If you double click the Navigation() column, the system will display the breakpoint in the respective source code.
    The visibility of a breakpoint can be changed through the dropdown list. To change the visibility of several breakpoints, mark them and select the pushbutton Save as Session Breakpoint or Save as User Breakpoint.
    You can change the visibility of all Debugger breakpoints using the menu path Breakpoints-> Save Debugger BPs as -> ....
    In addition, you have functions for creating, changing, activating and deactivating breakpoints at your disposal.
    Watchpoints
    In the Watchpoints area, you will see a list of all the watchpoints set so far. The watchpoint last set is highlighted with a yellow arrow.
    For each watchpoint you will see not only the current value but the value before the last changed. (Technically speaking, each time you create the watchpoint and each time the watchpoint variable is changed, a clone of this variable is created.)
    In this way, you can always determine what changes have been made to the monitored variable. For complicated data structures, such as internal tables or structures, select the pushbutton „Compare Variables“( ) and choose the Diff tool to compare the old and new variable values.
    In addition, you have functions for creating, changing, activating and deactivating watchpoints at your disposal.
    Checkpoints
    In addition, you can edit conditional and unconditional checkpoints using the Breakpoints tool. This function is provided in the new Debugger only. Conditional checkpoints are set first in the source code using the ASSERTstatement; unconditional checkpoints are set using the BREAK-POINT statement. These have the effect that programs will be continued only if a preset condition is fulfilled. In the following window, these checkpoints can be searched for, activated, or deactivated.

  • What is watch point and break points?what are there types?

    what is watch point and break points?what are there types?

    Static Breakpoints
    Static breakpoints are always user-independent if there is no specification of a user name. 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 program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For more information, refer to the chapter 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 more information, refer to the chapter 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.
    Watch point are used to put logical break point for a certain condition..Example..If you want to know when the internal table is getting append..Then you have to give the program name and the internal table in the watch point.. 
    Steps to create a watch point.
    Start debugging '/H'.
    In the debugging screen press the create watch point button in the application tool bar..
    In the program give the program name..
    in the field give the field name.
    In the relational operator given '='
    In the comp. field/value give the value ..
    Hope this helps..

  • Dual Layer Break Point problem

    Hi,
    I just found out after I updated DSP 4 to version 4.0.3 my Layer 1 on every project since updating gets corrupted!
    I thought it was the Dual Layer discs I used that caused the problem, but after I re-installed DVD Studio to the original version 4.0.0 the same project worked perfect.
    Anyone else have issues with Dual Layer Break Point after updating to 4.0.3?
    I have tried different chapters as layerbreak points on my project, and even a test project, with the same result. The finished discs is barely playable on some DVD players, showing wierd interference and noise, and DVD Player on mac crashes when reaching the dual layer break point, and the plant i send the master have a software to check DVDs and they said that it couldnt find/was corrupt Layer 1 on one of my discs. Hope someone can fix this, DSP is the best software otherwise!
    Best regards,
    Mats.

    DVD+R or DVD-R?
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/dvdstudiopro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=1%2 6section=9%26tasks=true
    DVD+R Double-Layer 
    You can use DVD+R double-layer media, often referred to as DVD+R DL, for burning your dual-layer projects. With DVD+R double-layer media, DVD Studio Pro places the layer break point and sets the switch point to be nonseamless as specified in your project.
    DVD+R double-layer discs require you to use the Opposite Track Path (OTP) direction setting when burning the disc. This means that the first layer must be larger than the second layer. See Setting the Dual-Layer Direction for more information.
    While DVD+R double-layer discs allow you to burn your dual-layer projects, they tend to have more compatibility issues than the other types of DVD media.
    DVD-R Dual-Layer 
    If your system contains a DVD drive that can write to the new DVD-R dual-layer media, you can burn your DVD project to it with DVD Studio Pro. However, there are several issues:
    Because currently DVD Studio Pro has no way to identify DVD-R dual-layer media as having two layers, burning a dual-layer project to it results in the appearance of an alert message telling you that the DVD media may have insufficient room to hold the project. This message is based on the assumption that the disc is single layer. Both layers of the disc will be written to as needed, however, when you click Continue.
    If you are burning a dual-layer project, the break point you set will not affect where the layer break actually occurs. Instead, the first layer is written to until filled, at which point the drive switches to writing to the second layer.
    The switch between layers is a seamless layer change not supported by some DVD players, which may stop playing the disc when the switch point is reached.
    Important: Do not use DVD-R dual-layer media unless these issues do not impact your project.

  • DL Break Point - Problem/Question

    Recently I've been getting some complaints from my customers that there DVD starts to Pixelize / Break-up on the point the DVD switches layers. Some people even claim the DVD stops all together at the break point.
    Not all of the DVD - 9's I sell do this. But it does seem like the complaints have increased.
    Is this a problem with my Software (DVDSP 3) or the Replicator im using?
    I master all the DVD's on DLT, and than send those to the Replicator. I also chose my own breakpoint.
    Could it maybe be the brand of the DVD player having trouble reading the switch? I've asked that they send the problem DVD back to me and it plays fine on my Sony DVD Player.
    Anyone else have problems with DVD 9's?
    Thanks,
    Mike A.

    Eric,
    You should not be saying that DVD SP is not a good pre-mastering tool, like you're saying here, and have been saying on boards elsewhere over the last period.
    It's not true. Actually, the exact opposite is true - tests show DVD Studio Pro has the best pre-mastering formatter on the market; MUCH better than Scenarist and Creator, Encore, and even the vaunted Toshiba DVD Authoring system. And yes, better than even DVDAfterEdit Mastering Edition.
    Just run any of the above formatters' DDP output through EclipseSuite 5.0, like I have, and look at all the UDF errors you'll find in all of them - except DVD Studio Pro's output; it's the cleanest.
    Maybe what you meant is that ALL authoring systems can hand you your you-know-what in a can, if you don't watch it. That's true.
    When I pre-master for a studio running DVD SP, I ALWAYS have the good folks send me a DDP Image on hard drive. And if I'm not adjusting the Image with DVDAfterEdit, I'll format their DVD SP DDP Image straight to tape (after extracting the VIDEO_TS folder for rounds of tests including the DVD Forum's MEI DVD-Video Verifier, and even burn a disc from it for player bank testing).
    True, their are at times something wrong with the DVD SP DDP Image that I find with the EclipseSuite; allot of these warnings and errors have to do with project settings (true, some of them shouldn't be there or initially set that way). But if you know what you're doing, and have some guidance when needed (which I provide my clients), then most of the time DVD SP will come through, beautifully.
    Since, DVD SP 2.0 when the new Spruce Maestro code set was introduced, things vastly improved. When was that, 4 years ago? Now, I find DVD SP very reliable, with most of the mistakes coming in the authoring and/or how the project was first submitted, before it came to me.
    So anyway, please, keep to the facts in the future.
    Thanks,

  • DVD Studio Pro Dual Layer Break Point Problem

    I have a problem with a disc that I am burning. It is a dual layer (the break point is not set to seamless) with 1 movie that is about 3.6 GB and 1hr 23 min long, a 30 min slideshow, another 30 min extra and five other extras that total to about 20 min. I put the dual layer break point at the beginning of the slideshow, everything played fine on the computer, but on the Panasonic DVD player it just freezes at 35 seconds into the slideshow. Its never had a problem with DLs before. Itried the DVD on my softmodded Wii, on a program for it called WiiMC (it uses Mplayer) and everything played fine. I tried another burn where i set the break point to fifteen minutes before the end on the main 1:23 movie and on the DVD player it still froze at 35 seconds on the slideshow. Is there anything that you guys can suggest to help?

  • Business Intelligence and performance point problem

    Hi Everyone,
    Please does anyone know why creating a dashboard from a Sharepoint list is such a hassle. I have configured performance point services, a secure store and a business intelligent website that has a data connection library and  Performance Point content
    list . Unfortunately anytime I try to use dashboard designer to create a new data source and specify the site settings(using unattended account method) I can't save it. It gives me an error claiming that I either don't have permissions or the data source
    doesn't exist.
    A search around the web for answers doesn't seems to solve my problem as it suggests that the problem is associate with many things which I'm not clear about. Please could someone who is good at this at least tell me the critical things to check and the
    clearest way to set this up.
    Thanks,
    Dominic

    Hi Dominic,
    According to your error " I either don't have permissions or the data source doesn't exist", it should be related to the unattended account permission.
    Once the unattended service account has been configured, you must grant that account access to your data sources:
    For SQL Server data, the account must have a SQL logon with db_datareader permissions on each database that you want to access.
    For SQL Server Analysis Services data, the account must have read access to the cube or an appropriate portion of the cube, depending on your needs.
    For Excel Services data, the account must have access to the Excel workbook in a SharePoint document library.
    For data in a SharePoint list, the account must have read access to the list.

  • Types of watch points and break points

    hi to all
              what are the different types of watch points and  break points

    Hi Mahesh!
    Breakpoints
    In the Breakpoints area, you will see a list of all the breakpoints set so far. If one of the breakpoints has just been reached, this is marked with a yellow arrow. The visibility (Debugger, session, user) and type (line, ABAP command, u2026) is displayed for each breakpoint.
    If you double click the Navigation() column, the system will display the breakpoint in the respective source code.
    The visibility of a breakpoint can be changed through the dropdown list. To change the visibility of several breakpoints, mark them and select the pushbutton Save as Session Breakpoint or Save as User Breakpoint.
    You can change the visibility of all Debugger breakpoints using the menu path Breakpoints-> Save Debugger BPs as -> ....
    In addition, you have functions for creating, changing, activating and deactivating breakpoints at your disposal.
    Watchpoints
    In the Watchpoints area, you will see a list of all the watchpoints set so far. The watchpoint last set is highlighted with a yellow arrow.
    For each watchpoint you will see not only the current value but the value before the last changed. (Technically speaking, each time you create the watchpoint and each time the watchpoint variable is changed, a clone of this variable is created.)
    In this way, you can always determine what changes have been made to the monitored variable. For complicated data structures, such as internal tables or structures, select the pushbutton u201ECompare Variablesu201C( ) and choose the Diff tool to compare the old and new variable values.

  • Export  data in Excel file - Debug and Break Point

    In the program RFUMSV00 the data  been displayed on the screen with the function REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY.
    With "Cntrl + Shift + F9" I exported the list of data in an Excel file.
    How can I see, with Debug, where the program RFUMSV00 passed the data to Excel File? I can indicate the point, In the program, where I need to set the break point?
    Thanks,
    Serena

    Hi,
    This download functionality has nothing to have with program RFUMSV00. It is actually processed by REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY fm, which calls fm LIST_COMMAND which finally calls fm LIST_DOWNLOAD, where you will actually find the downloading part (in fact in another fm, DOWNLOAD_LIST)...
    to resume: REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY->LIST_COMMAND->LIST_DOWNLOAD->DOWNLOAD_LIST
    so I would put the break-point in the last one..
    Kr,
    Manu.
    correction: I made a mistake, the break-point should be set in LIST_DOWNLOAD...where you will find the call to fm LIST_CONVERT_TO_DAT which is responsible of the download...

  • Rsd? shut down and mouse pointer problems

    hello there
    So, last week I went to the Carrefour Laval apple store to go check out my macbook because it had shut down 3 times in a row for no reason. The genius checked everthing out, ran some tests, and said everything was a-okay, that I might have simply just xperienced a random, insignificant crash. But, yesterday my computer shut down again as I was surfing the internet. I waited about 1 minute and powered it up again. everything seemed fine. so, about 1 hour ago, im checking my emails, when i go up to the toolbar to select a different website, when my mouse pointer seems to start disappearing on and off constantly. so i close my internet window and this weird loud and quick clicking sound comes from my computer. I open up another safari window, and the sound stops. and this happens over and over again as i open and close safari windows. then 10 minutes later, i am watching a dvd when my computer shuts down again! what is going on? Im so tired of this. i would like to have some advice before i go see the genius again. the thing is i cant reproduce the problem for him, it just happens randomly....
    please help me!

    Hi there I am having the same problem. I've been experiencing it often over the past month. First thing you should do is download the latest updates and make sure the firmware is updated which you can get from apple.ca/support. If that doesn't work then take it into a certified repari center that is authorized by Mac. In Toronto I go to CPUsed, Carbon or MacLibrary for repairs. My macbook is still under warranty so I am going to take it in. I am also going to extend my warranty for three years. These intels are great but it is the first year so expect problems.
    Cheers!

  • ITUNES and Exclamation point problems

    It is incredibly frustrating trying to support a program that has so many quirks in it. Itunes should be a lot easier to handle when it comes to file management than it currently is. I recently changed out my 250 gb main HD for a 1 TB hard drive in order to have the itunes music folder on the same HD as the Operating system. Apparently itunes has a completely different way of cataloging the music in the actual itunes folder, which is now called itunes media, than it used to. When I transfered all my files from the original 250 gb volume to the 1 TB volume via mac transfer, I thought that the current itunes on the original HD would also transfer, nope. Itunes couldn't access my itunes music folder which had not been moved to the new location yet beacuse the version remained consistent with the OS installer and not what was originally on my old HD. Hence newer itunes music folder (which it was still called) with old itunes, not good! I upgraded to the newest itunes via software update in order for it to even recognize my "newer" itunes folder and that's when things really went sour. I copied over the itunes folder over to the new HD and changed the preferences in itunes to select that as my new media folder. Itunes recognized nothing. all songs had a impossible exclamation point. I moved the itunes music folder out of the itunes folder on the main HD and had itunes create a new folder as its media folder. I imported a song in itunes with the copy all files to the itunes folder to see where the songs were going to be stored. It created a music folder within the Itunes media. Great I thought I just will dump the contents of the old itunes music folder into the new music folder. Most songs (I have 50,090 of them) have come back. Unfortunate news, I HAVE TONS THAT STILL HAVE THAT EXCLAMATION POINT NEXT TO IT. and why? because if an artist is featured and has another name by it such as Leona Lewis featuring One republic, itunes does not know to look via Leona Lewis with Album Echo, it just simply can't find it. I can understand where the coding for that may be a little difficult, but here is the real issue. That is just one song, but I have volumes of artists with other artists, and when I find one of the songs in a batch with the same issue, Itunes only recognizes that one song and expects me to search and rescue all the songs that are in that same Unfindable folder individually. I can't change the tags on the exclamation songs to help redirect it better and I am forced to re-import all those songs. I HATE THIS!If an album is called boneyard and I find one song in that folder, it should know that the rest of the songs from the album boneyard are in that folder, similarily to FINAL CUT PRO which I deal with on a regular basis. The two programs with the find my media helper are written by two people on opposites sides of the earth. FCP can determine that if an "issue" file is found and is grouped with another "issue" file it scans the folder to see if other files that you are missing are indeed in there, why can't itunes. And another thing, why is there no way of sorting the songs via that stupid exclamation point, so I can at least see what I am dealing with. I have to continually scroll up and down the music contents folder and do double takes to see if a song had that exclamation point on it.
    Any help to ease this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    +"I copied over the itunes folder over to the new HD"+
    That was the mistake right there.
    Once an item is in your iTunes library, iTunes will lose it if you move or rename the item or any of its containing folders.

  • About watch points and break points...

    Hi ,
    How many watchpoints and breakpoints can be used in each program?

    Hi Eswanth,
    I think at a maximum of 30 breakpoints can be used in a program.
    Are you going to appear for a sap certification exam or what .
    All the best .

  • Break points

    hai gurus...
    how many watch points and break point can be used in each program...
    types of watch points and break points....
    Thanks
    Pavan

    Hi
    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 under which a watchpoint is to become active.
    · You can specify a logical link for up to five (conditional) watchpoints.
    See also Specifying Logical Links.
    · 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
    Breakpoints
    Apart from being able to execute an ABAP program in the Debugger, you can also start the Debugger call by the choosing 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 Debugger is activated when the program reaches this point.
    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 more information, refer to the chapter Watchpoints.
    Breakpoint Variants
    The Debugger contains different breakpoint variants:
    Static
    A user-specific breakpoint is inserted in the source code as an ABAP statement using the keyword BREAK-POINT. A non user-specific breakpoint is set in the ABAP Editor using the BREAK user name statement.
    Directly set
    dynamic breakpoints
    Can be set in the ABAP Editor or the Debugger by double-clicking a line, for example. Dynamic breakpoints are always user-specific, and are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Breakpoints
    at statements
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified statement is executed.
    Breakpoints
    at subroutines
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified subroutine is called.
    Breakpoints at function modules
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified function module is called.
    Breakpoints at methods
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified method is called.
    Breakpoints at exceptions and system exceptions
    The Debugger stops the program immediately after a system exception, that is, after a runtime error has been intercepted.
    Static Breakpoints
    Static breakpoints are always user-independent if there is no specification of a user name. 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 program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For more information, refer to the chapter 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 more information, refer to the chapter 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 remain in effect during the entire user session if they are saved by choosing the menu path Breakpoints ® Save in the ABAP Debugger. For more details on the subject of user sessions and modes, 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.
    we can keep them at :
    Statements
    Subroutines
    Function Module Calls
    at Methods
    System Exceptions
    break point :
    we can start debugging from that point or if we keep break point at some place we can directly got ot htat point using f6.
    watch point: for example if we have to check the output for 4000 records based on a field value i.e.for vendor number 'in'we have to check then we will create watchpoint on field LIFNR value '2000'. then we can directly go to vendor whose numbe ris 2000

  • Problem setting External break point..

    Hi All,
          I am using EP6 SP14 and R/3 4.6C.  Java Webdynpro aRFCs to connect to R/3 BAPIs. I am having problems setting up external break points. I don't see Debug option in "Utilities -> Settings -> ABAP Editor". Do we have this option in R/3 4.6C? If yes how to enable the option? If no, what is the work around to debug the BAPI through Portal.
       Helpful answers will be rewarded.
    Regards,
    Uday.
