• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SHTTP087 - Breakpoint set for external debugging (&1 &2&3) ?

  The SAP error message SHTTP087 indicates that a breakpoint has been set for external debugging in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a developer or administrator has activated debugging for a specific program or transaction, and the system is trying to enter debug mode when the specified conditions are met.
  Cause:
  
  Breakpoint Set: The most common cause of this error is that a breakpoint has been set in the ABAP code, which is intended for debugging purposes. This can happen if a developer is testing or troubleshooting a piece of code.
  External Debugging: The message specifically refers to external debugging, which means that the debugger is trying to connect to an external debugger (like the ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse or SAP GUI).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the debugging environment or the connection between the SAP system and the external debugger.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Remove Breakpoints: If you are not actively debugging, you can remove the breakpoints in the ABAP code. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the ABAP Editor (SE38 or SE80).
  Opening the program or function module where the breakpoint is set.
  Using the menu option Utilities -> Breakpoints -> Delete All Breakpoints or manually removing specific breakpoints.
  
  
  
  Check Debugging Settings: Ensure that the debugging settings are correctly configured. If you are using an external debugger, verify that the connection settings are correct and that the debugger is properly set up to connect to the SAP system.
  
  
  Disable External Debugging: If external debugging is not needed, you can disable it in the SAP system settings. This can usually be done in transaction RZ11 by setting the parameter abap/debugging to 0.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the debugging process or how to manage breakpoints, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with ABAP debugging.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Debugging in SAP: Understanding how debugging works in SAP can help you manage breakpoints effectively. Familiarize yourself with the ABAP Debugger and its features.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to debugging include:
  
  SE80: Object Navigator
