• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ586 - No breakpoints activated ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ586 - No breakpoints activated
  
  Cause:
  The message WZ586 - No breakpoints activated occurs when you attempt to execute a debugging session or a trace, but there are no active breakpoints set in the program or user context. Essentially, the debugger or trace tool expects at least one breakpoint to be active to halt the program execution and allow inspection, but none have been defined or activated.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you start a debugging or trace session without setting any breakpoints.
  When all previously set breakpoints have been deactivated or deleted.
  When the system or user-specific breakpoints are not active or visible.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Set Breakpoints:
  
  Before starting the debugging session, set one or more breakpoints in the ABAP code where you want the program execution to stop.
  You can set breakpoints in the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80) by clicking on the left margin next to the code line or by using the /h command to start the debugger and then setting breakpoints.
  
  
  
  Activate Breakpoints:
  
  Ensure that the breakpoints are active. Sometimes breakpoints can be deactivated or disabled.
  Use transaction SE37 or SE80 to check and activate breakpoints.
  Alternatively, use the debugger interface to manage breakpoints.
  
  
  
  User-specific Breakpoints:
  
  Breakpoints are user-specific. Make sure you are logged in as the user who set the breakpoints.
  If you are debugging a background job or another user’s session, breakpoints set in your user context will not be active.
  
  
  
  Check Debugging Settings:
  
  Verify that debugging is enabled for the user and the program.
  For background jobs, special debugging settings or external debugging might be required.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Breakpoints Types:
  
  Static breakpoints: Set in the source code and saved.
  Dynamic breakpoints: Set during runtime in the debugger.
  External breakpoints: Used for debugging external sessions or background jobs.
  
  
  
  Transaction for Breakpoints:
  
  Use /h in the command field to start the debugger.
  Use SE80 or SE38 to set static breakpoints.
  Use SE37 for function module breakpoints.
  
  
  
  Related Notes:
  
  If you are debugging a background job, you may need to set external breakpoints.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to debug.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
