Prerequisites for debugging – File approach

You need to download a file template using ▪ The migration object was generated successfully
either transaction LTMC or transaction LTMOM
(possible as of 1909). You can then enter
▪ A simulation parameter is defined in activity
values in the file that you want to simulate or Target Structures API
debug. ▪ The migration object is not locked by any other
user
▪ If the migration object is copied from a template, it
must not have any outdated objects (Update
Available  No)

If you choose this option the system will
save the relevant information about the first
erroneous record that was encountered in
the file.

As of 1909 you can view the simulated

records
▪ You can view these records before they
