3515966 - Breakpoints Are Missing After Logging Off From Cloud Applications Studio (SDK)

Symptom

You have inserted breakpoints in a .absl file within SAP Cloud Applications Studio and noticed that they disappear after logging off and logging back on.

Environment

  • SAP Cloud Applications Studio
  • SAP Business ByDesign
  • SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to SAP Cloud Applications Studio.
  2. Open your Solution.
  3. Navigate to a .absl file.
  4. Insert a breakpoint.
  5. Log off from SAP Cloud Applications Studio.
  6. Log back in and open the Solution.
  7. Navigate to the .absl file.
  8. Observe that the previously inserted breakpoints are now missing.

Cause

The SAP Cloud Applications Studio does not support the persistent saving of breakpoints. This behavior is by design and is not a feature currently available in the system. 

Resolution

We always advise you to re-add these breakpoints. For better usage,  you can maintain a documented list of your breakpoints in a separate file or within your project notes. When you log back in, you can quickly refer to this list to reapply the necessary breakpoints.
