Debugging in SAP using external breakpoints
Summary
In case you have an issue regarding the result of an analysis that was executed from the Performer Suite (System Scout) it is helpful to see which SAP tables were read and what were the selection criteria.
This information is also very helpful for our support, e.g. the result of a "Usage in Transports"-analysis is not as expected, you can find out which table is read with which selection by setting an external breakpoint in SAP Function Module RFC_READ_TABLE.
Step-by-step instruction
- Go to SE37 and show Function Module RFC_READ_TABLE. Hint: the logon to SAP has to be done with the same user which is used for the SAP connection in the Performer Suite (System Scout)
- Set an external breakpoint using the right mouse context menu. Do the right-click in the last line of coding in the yellow area on the left:
- Execute an analysis or documentation in the Performer Suite (Docu Performer or System Scout).
- When RFC_READ_TABLE is called and the breakpoint is reached you can examine the tables:
- OPTIONS (to see the selection criteria)
- FIELDS (to see the fields which are read)
- DATA (to see the values which were read from the table). - To examine the tables open the "Tables" tab, then enter the name of the table you want to examine and press enter. The following screenshot shows the content of the OPTIONS table:
- The import parameter QUERY_TABLE shows which SAP table was read:
