How To Fix DBGEXT031 - Breakpoints for this TID have already been set by another logon session.

DBGEXT031 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DBGEXT - Low level Debugger Interface

• Message number: 031

• Message text: Breakpoints for this TID have already been set by another logon session.

What causes this issue?

You want to set a new external breakpoint or delete an existing one.
However, there are already external breakpoints for terminal ID &V1&,
set by user &V2&. But these were set in another logon session. The last
breakpoints have been set there &V3& hours and &V4& minutes ago.
That means that the current debugger activation for external requests
with the current terminal ID is assigned to this other logon session and
as a consequence the debugger for those requests is launched there.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

You should decide whether you want to take over this debugger
activation. If you do so, all upcoming external requests tagged with
this terminal ID hitting a breakpoint are debugged by a debugger
launched in your current logon session.

  Debugging Configuration: Sometimes, the debugger settings or configurations might lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Close Other Sessions: Check if you have other SAP sessions open that are debugging the same transaction. Close those sessions or remove the breakpoints in those sessions.
  Remove Breakpoints: If you have access to the other session, you can remove the breakpoints set there. You can do
