• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMCDBG024 - Breakpoints deactivated: & ?

  The SAP error message VMCDBG024 indicates that breakpoints have been deactivated in the ABAP debugger. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and solution can help you resolve the issue effectively.
  Cause
  
  Debugging Mode: The debugger may not be in the correct mode. If the program is running in a non-debugging mode, breakpoints will not be hit.
  User Settings: The user settings for the debugger may have been configured to deactivate breakpoints.
  System Settings: The system may have certain settings or restrictions that prevent breakpoints from being activated.
  Program Execution: The program may be executed in a way that bypasses the breakpoints, such as running in a background job or in a different session.
  Transport Requests: If the program is part of a transport request that has not been released, it may affect the ability to debug.
  
  Solution
  
  Check Debugger Mode: Ensure that you are running the program in debug mode. You can do this by using the command /h before executing the program.
  Activate Breakpoints: Go to the ABAP debugger and check if breakpoints are activated. You can do this by navigating to the "Breakpoints" tab and ensuring that they are enabled.
  User Settings: Check your user settings in the debugger. You can reset or adjust these settings to ensure breakpoints are active.
  Session Type: Make sure you are not running the program in a background session. If you need to debug a background job, you may need to use transaction SM37 to find the job and then use the debugger to analyze it.
  Check for Restrictions: Consult with your system administrator to see if there are any restrictions or settings in place that might prevent breakpoints from being activated.
  Release Transport Requests: If the program is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is released and that you have the necessary authorizations to debug the program.
