Debugging Active Jobs

By Joyjit Ghosh

Go to the transaction SM37 and select the background job (with job status ‘Active’) that you want to debug.

Now select ‘Capture: active job’ from menu ‘Job’,

This will open the selected active job (program) in the debugger.

Also you can do the same from transaction SM50.

Select the work process where this job is running and then choose the menu path Program/ModeàProgramàDebugging.

It will display a pop up window for confirmation, click on the ‘Yes’ button.

Then you can see the job (program) in the debugger.
