How to Debug Background Jobs

We can not debug background jobs directly with the breakpoints set inside the program like usually we do during running program in foreground. But this is posibile too !!

  1. Go to SM37 - Job monitor
  2. Select the specific job you want to analyse (let's a failed job)
  3. Use transaction code - JDBG (type the transaction code in transaction code input box - at the top left corner of your screen)
  4. It will start ABAP debugger.
  5. Continue to debug !!

Few Tips for Transport Request Manipulation

Image
DON’T USE THESE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. The purpose of transport request is to organize and move development objects from one server (say development) to other server. But sometime due to conflict in timing of different releases, we may need to move objects from one transport to other transport to release lock / dependency / to avoid transport failure due to missing object. It’s not very easy task always, especially if the Transports are complex and contain multiple components. Things get more difficult if objects are locked in one transport or the transport is partially released (few tasks are released and locked object is inside that task). These off hand tips will help developer to manipulate transport request if complex situation arises. These methods are not very advisable as this may lead to transport inconsistency if not done properly or with proper understanding of the consequences. How to toggle the status of a Transport request? Here is a transport request where o...
