Introduction
Generally, the developers debug and check the code in the routines, when there is variation in the data from what they have expected. The step by step procedure below explains how to debug Start, End & Expert Routines in BI Transformations. When a transformation is created, a program is generated by SAP in the back end. It generates ABAP code for all the mappings, rule details that are created in the transformation. The code that is added in the Start, End or Expert routines can also be seen in the generated program. This program can be seen via the Extras -> Display Generated Program from the menu bar in the transformation display/change screen. The path can be seen in the below screenshot.
It actually leads to the SE38 screen to show the program and code. The screenshot below shows the sample of such generated program. It has an alphanumeric name generated by SAP and it has a warning not to change the source/code. The program has the below code if a Start or End or an Expert routine is created in the transformation.
Start Routine:
End Routine: Expert Routine: Double clicking on the ->start_routine, ->end_routine or ->expert_routine in the above displayed code will lead to the code added in the corresponding methods. The user can set a break-point at the above shown code or directly at the code added in the methods.
1. Step by Step Solution
1.1 Setting Break-Points in the generated program
Go to RSA1. Display the transformation that has the routine to be debugged. Here enter into the generated program via Extras -> Display Generated Program. Now the generated program is displayed. Break points can be set as shown according to the requirement.
The break point can also be placed at the code that has been inserted in the routine. For example, the screenshot shows the break point set at the code in Start routine.
1.2 Execute the DTP in Simulate/Debug mode After the break points have been set, now run the DTP in simulate mode. Follow the below procedure to run the DTP in Debug mode. In the Execute tab of the DTP, select the option Serially in the Dialog Process (for Debugging). Now a change in the screen can be observed. The Execute button changes as Simulate. And a check box with text Expert Mode appears next to the Simulate button. Select this check box as in the screenshot
Click on the Simulate button. A popup opens as shown in the screenshot. It has two tabs Filter & Temporary Store and Breakpoints. In the filter section one can give a particular company code etc for which it has to be checked during debugging instead of debugging for whole lot of data. The screenshot shows the Break points tab. Now press F8 or click the Execute button at the bottom of the popup to execute the DTP via debugger. (Note: One can select the check boxes here to go into the debug mode, instead of setting break points in the generated program).
