• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLAD118 - The debugger profile was activated ?

  The SAP error message SLAD118, which states "The debugger profile was activated," typically occurs when the debugger is activated for a specific user or session in the SAP system. This can happen for various reasons, such as debugging being enabled for a particular transaction or user profile, which can lead to performance issues or unintended interruptions in the normal operation of the system.
  Cause:
  
  Debugger Activation: The debugger may have been activated intentionally or unintentionally for a user session. This can happen if a user has set a breakpoint or if a specific debugging profile is assigned to the user.
  User Profile Settings: The user profile may have debugging options enabled, which can lead to the debugger being triggered during normal operations.
  Transaction Settings: Certain transactions may have debugging enabled by default, which can cause this message to appear.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Deactivate Debugger: 
  
  If you have access, you can deactivate the debugger for your user session. This can typically be done by navigating to the debugger settings and disabling the debugger profile.
  You can also use the command /h to deactivate the debugger if you are currently in a debugging session.
  
  
  
  Check User Profile:
  
  Review the user profile settings to ensure that debugging is not enabled. You can do this by going to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the parameters for the user in question.
  
  
  
  Remove Breakpoints:
  
  If breakpoints have been set in the code, they can cause the debugger to activate. You can remove any breakpoints by using transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) and navigating to the relevant program or function module.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can help check system-wide settings and ensure that debugging is not enabled for production environments unless necessary.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Debugging in SAP: Debugging is a powerful tool in SAP that allows developers to analyze and troubleshoot ABAP programs. However, it should be used cautiously, especially in production environments.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate authorizations for debugging. In some cases, it may be necessary to restrict debugging capabilities to certain users to prevent performance issues.
  Performance Considerations: Debugging can significantly impact system performance, especially in a production environment. It is advisable to limit debugging to development or testing environments.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the error message persists, further investigation into the specific context of the error may be required, including reviewing logs and system settings.
