Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/668256 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note discusses enabling HTTP and external debugging for debugging RFC, HTTP, HTTPS, and SMTP sessions. Key prerequisites include using SAPGUI for login and setting up a server-specific configuration temporarily during debugging. The note clarifies that the use of load distribution is not supported for debugging purposes. Furthermore, a restriction exists on debugging sessions with high traffic or shared users, advising a dedicated user for debugging to ensure stability and clarity. The debugging can be activated through Development Workbench transactions using utilities settings, where specific user details and session parameters need to be set. Additionally, permissions are required for setting and modifying breakpoints in ABAP reports. The note also addresses issues related to user name ambiguities and provides patch levels for corrections. It outlines the configuration of the dynamic rfc/ext_debugging profile parameter that controls external debugging authorization and its scope, which can be modified using transaction RZ11 or by direct file adjustments requiring a server restart.
