SAP Business Intelligence (BI) 7.0 allows you to access the ABAP code behind a transformation easy via RSA1 > Transformation > Extras > Display Generated Program.







However, there will be times when you will need to place soft-breaks and debug an older 3.x Update Rule. Finding the generated program in 3.x is cumbersome and frustrating when the RS-table name escapes you.
If you ever need to find yourself in this situation, then here are the steps.
Step 0. In our example, we will find the program for the update rule from export datasource 8ZSDDS115 to infocube ZAPO_C03.

Step 1. Go to SE16 for table RSUPDINFO. Enter your cube name in the INFOCUBE selection parameter, a value of "A" for OBJVERS. Execute.

Step 2. Find the entry with your datasource or infosource. In our example, our infosource is 8ZSDDS115. Make a note of the value in the column URPROGID. (click on the below image for the full picture)
Step 3. Go to SE38 and enter the prefix "GP" with the URPROGID value from the above step. Click the DISPLAY button.

Step 4. Navigate to the Start Routine or Object Routine that you would like to debug.

Step 5. Place a soft-break(s) and exit.

Step 6 and beyond. With the soft-breaks in place, go head and load some data to the PSA and have fun.
