SAP CHECKPOINT ABEXA documentation, setup help and example usage

ARTICLE

Checkpoints and checkpoint groups
This example demonstrates the different
checkpoints and their connection to a checkpoint group .

ABAP_SOURCE_CODE
ABAP_EXEC

ABAP_DESCRIPTION
The example includes the following:

A logpoint

A breakpoint

An assertion

All of these are linked with the DEMO_CHECKPOINT_GROUP
checkpoint group .
The Activation function in transaction SAAB can be used to individually set the activation functions of this checkpoint group for the three checkpoints.
For example, you choose the following settings:

Break for breakpoints

Log for logpoints

Abort for assertions

You adopt the default values for the parameters. This has the following results:

The LOG-POINT statement writes an entry to a log that you analyze following the execution of the program in transaction SAAB .

The program stops at the BREAK-POINT statement in the ABAP Debugger.

An ASSERTION_FAILED runtime error occurs for the ASSERT statement because field2 is initial.

If the activation settings are all inactive , none of the checkpoints has an effect.
