xsengine.ini []debugger not available

[BenedictV]

Hi,

I am trying to debug a XS application I downloaded and installed in my HANA system(SPS09). I do not have a java background and am just trying to get a grip on XS development.

I referred these two links,

SAP HANA Cloud Platform

Both the links mention a []debugger parameter that needs to be enabled. But, I do not see this []debugger under the xsengine.ini in my system. Is this an access issue. Should the system admin be able to do this?

Hi,

You can add the section by yourself. Right click "xsengine.ini" and choose "Add Section".

Best regards,

Hi,

That option is not enabled. What privileges do I need to have the option enabled? Or, is the system admin supposed to do that?

Thanks,

Hi,

SYSTEM user can do that or you need the system privilege INIFILE ADMIN.

Thanks Wenjun. I will ask the system admin to do that for me.

Can the debugger be enabled at all times or should it be set to 'false' once the debugging is done.

My question is, is it like a trace property that should be enabled only when necessary?

Thanks,

Benedict

I prefer to turn it off when debugging is done.

There really is no logically reason to turn if off when not debugging.  There is no system impact or real security concern on a development system.
