How can you save your Debugger spot and save it in a file to use it later?
Introduction
The life of an ABAPer revolves around debugging. ABAPer debugs for a lot of reason and while debugging they sometimes gets distracted or something comes up(Coffee Break). Most of the time I used to always save the debugging screenshots as later when I will debug I can find those debug points and start my Debugging Journey. This Blog will explain how you can just save the debug spot in a file and Load the Debugging journey from where you left or at least get all the debug point/ Watchpoint activated
Solution
Login to SAP and Press /H to activate debugger
Then we will go to ME23N Tcode. Debugger has started
Now we will put debugger on Select Statement
Follow this path and save the debugger Spot
Make sure you select all the checkbox like below and save this in your desktop
Now we logout
We again login and activate debugger by pressing /H
Now Press ME23n Tcode
Now load the debugger file by following the below path
Select the filename we created and press green arrow
Wala the Breakpoint is loaded from the file
This is the solution you can use across different systems. I love this as it saves a lot of time and full proof solution
Conclusion
You can use this in both SAP ECC and S/4HANA
Below is the video version
Thanks for the hint.
Even better solution: you are using ADT / Eclipse and that is the default behavior.
Ver helpful.. Thanks for sharing.
why breakpoints option is greyed-out for me? is some minimum ABAP release level is required or there is another nuance?
Probably a security Issue. Please check Su53 dump. Also try using File instead of Database
Thanks

Nice arghadip..
I knew that already, but it's nice to be reminded of it. Being able to save a debugger Session (in the ABAP Debugger) is one of it's many great (and underrated / less known?) features!
Hi, Its very useful , Thanks for sharing.
