• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AMDP_DBG032 - Debugger session was already started. ?

  The SAP error message AMDP_DBG032: Debugger session was already started typically occurs when you attempt to start a debugger session for an ABAP Managed Database Procedure (AMDP) that is already being debugged. This can happen if you have multiple instances of the debugger open or if the debugger was not properly closed after a previous session.
  Causes:
  
  Multiple Debugger Sessions: You may have initiated a debugger session for the same AMDP method multiple times.
  Improper Closure: The previous debugger session may not have been closed properly, leaving it in an active state.
  System Issues: Occasionally, system glitches or issues with the SAP GUI can lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Close Existing Debugger Sessions:
  
  Check if there are any active debugger sessions. You can do this by navigating to the debugger and closing any open sessions.
  If you are unsure, you can restart your SAP GUI to ensure all sessions are closed.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code:
  
  Use transaction code SM50 to check for any running processes. If you find any processes related to your AMDP that are stuck, you can terminate them.
  
  
  
  Restart SAP GUI:
  
  Sometimes, simply restarting the SAP GUI can resolve the issue by clearing any lingering sessions.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  If the issue persists, check for any locks on the database or the AMDP itself that might be preventing a new session from starting.
  
  
  
  Debugging in a Different Session:
  
  If you need to debug while the current session is active, consider using a different user session or a different client if possible.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
