  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The terminal ID <(>&<)>1 was set for outgoing requests.
    This terminal ID was set for the current external session (for the
    current SAP GUI window).
    All outgoing requests, e.g. RFC calls, then carry this terminal ID and
    can pass it on in further requests. The debugger is activated if this
    request then arrives in a system in which an external breakpoint, which
    is also associated with this terminal ID, was set.
    You can set a breakpoint and associate it with this terminal ID by
    starting the SAP GUI window in which you set the breakpoint in the same
    Windows logon.
