Basis Errors and Solutions

Symptom

A business process that makes use of the RBAM functionality (authority check or RBAM Restrictions API) ends with an exception or abortion.
In the post-mortem analysis, no information about the environment of the call-stack at the time of the root-cause is available.

Reason and Prerequisites

Preconditions that are caused by data inconsistencies or program errors were raised as ABAP exceptions to the caller.
Depending on the type of exception handling in those upper software layers, the information gets lost.

Solution

With the code change of this note, these situations result in a dump directly triggered by the RBAM Runtime Plugin in which the incorrect call takes place.
The resulting ABAP dump then contains the correct and helpful call-stack and the variables in the environment.
This change does not alter the system behavior at normal runtime.
The situation in which the dump is now triggered regularly resulted in dumps also in the past, however at a point in code where the chance for analysis has already vanished.
