SAP Note
Header Data
Symptom
Possible errors in the process flow of the time management
extractors can only be debugged without restrictions in the test
transaction RSA3 in full update mode. Previously, it was not
possible to debug the delta upload, in particular if debugging was
to be started from BW.
Other Terms

Reason and Prerequisites
This function was missing.
Solution
Debugging traps were incorporated into the source code of time
management extractors. If you have not imported the relevant
correction Support Package, you can implement the debugging traps
with the correction instructions attached to this note. The
debugging traps take effect if reporting time types or reporting
quota types with a certain name exist. A debugging trap is an
endless loop in the program code of an extractor. As soon as the
program reaches this character, processing can only continue if the
"debug" variable is changed in the debugger. The "debug" variable
can have the value "X", blank (empty or initial) or "S". As long as
the extractor is in the endless loop, the "debug" variable has the
value "X". If the user sets the variable to the blank value,
processing can continue. As soon as the extractor requests the next
data package, the debugging trap takes effect again. If you want to
prevent this, for example, because the debugging session is to be
terminated, you can set the "debug" variable to the value "S". If
DataSource 0HR_PT_1 is to be checked, create a reporting time type
with the name XDEBUG1. If DataSource 0HR_PT_2 is to be checked,
create a reporting time type with the name XDEBUG2. If the
DataSource 0HR_PT_3 is to be checked, create a reporting quota type
with the name XDEBUG3.
