What happens during external debugging of HTTP and RFC requests in your ABAP system?

External debugging in the context of HTTP and RFC requests in an ABAP system can be influenced by various factors, such as the state of the session, the configuration of the debugging environment, or any specific limitations of the program being executed. This means that when an external breakpoint is set, the behavior is not guaranteed; it may stop the execution if all conditions are favorable, or it may not stop if certain conditions are not met, like the session being busy or other debugging configurations.

For example, if the request is being processed in a different session or system context, the ABAP debugger may not have control over it. Additionally, if multiple requests are processed concurrently, there may be interruptions that prevent the debugger from halting at the specified breakpoint. Hence, the outcome of whether the execution stops at the external breakpoint can depend on external factors, illustrating the variability of debugging behavior in these scenarios.
