The objective of this document is aimed at explaining the concept of SAP debugger types and tricks.I assume that this will be a helpful for my fellow readers.

ABAP Debugger Script – 2 use cases ( display object data in ALV / break condtion on object value)

In the project we came across the challenge to find information within a list of objects in the debugger. in the ALV display you will only see all the objects instances.

Using debugger scripts (basics here) you are able to iterate on the internal object table and work with the values. In the second example I will show you how to display object information in an ALV.

ABAP in Eclipse – External Debugger Setting

And with technologies changing so fast its hard to keep your focus on what to start learning . Anyways I decided to stick to my core , which I love , ABAP !

But this time in a different way, Yes using Eclipse instead of ABAP workbench – Se80 . And while I am very confident in working in SE80 , I am getting use to developing & debuggging ABAP stuff in Eclipse . And I keep finding new stuff everyday rather every couple of hours.

ABAP debugger enhancement or how to speed up your test data creation process

Intro

In this blog we would like to introduce two open source helpers to create test data for abap unit tests.

Regardless of using the test first or test last approach in ABAP, we have to provide test data for our unit tests.

This process can be very time consuming depending on what has to be provided.

News in ABAP Debugger Breakpoints and Watchpoints ,Statement Debugging

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2 brings an expanded set of breakpoint and watchpoint capabilities as well as a new higher-resolution statement debugging capability (of course in the New ABAP Debugger!).

This blog shows how to use these new features:

• The new types of breakpoint (on ABAP command, on Web Dynpro entities, on method of a class, on Simple Transformations…)
• The new types of watchpoints (on internal table, on ABAP objects and object attributes…)

Displaying Internal Tables in the Debugger in NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2

The New ABAP Debugger, introduced with NetWeaver 2004s, came with a Table tool for displaying the contents of internal tables.

With NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2 and with Netweaver 7.30, the Table tool has been re-worked and expanded to make it easier to use and more flexible – a truly comfortable tool for examining internal tables, no matter how large or complex they might be.

BW transformation debugging a start routine

It’s about debugging in SAP BW Transformation and increasing personal productivity while finding issues in ABAP expert, start or end routines. The following helps me to save a few minutes each day while developing or solving issues. It might help avoiding complains from your system monitoring team that the system log is running full because of entries like these in SM21. Do you sometimes forget to remove break-points before transporting something to production?
