Amending an eCatt script

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to amend a script created earlier. I do not wish to delete the original script, but just amend it.
I had created the script using 'TCD Record'.
Please also inform me how to look at the 'script lines' for a script created with 'TCD Record'.
Regards,
Debojit Dey

Hello Debojit,
there are 2 testtool versions available from SAP providing TCD Record:
- The older one is CATT, transaction SCAT, but that one is already "closed" in new releases of NetWeaver
- The new one, favorable to be used, is eCATT, transaction SECATT
Using trascation SECATT you can change your script, (if you still rememeber it's name). Again more favorable than using TCD is to use SAPGUI script command, enabling UI-Testing of SAPs SAP GUI-based systems since release 4.6C.
Best regards
Jens

How to create a field value as constant while creating eCATT scripts

Hello Guru's,
I am updating thousands of records using eCATT. How should i declare a field value as constant while creating a eCATT script it self, so that it automatically picks that value and update the records. I should not mention the field value in the upload file.
Full points for the answer,

Dont parameterize the value that you would like to keep as constant. Pass the default value to that feild while reocrding .

Runtime Error while executing eCATT Script

Hello @All,
I worte a small eCATT script to stop the time a certain process needs to finish. The way I did this was to use the SAPGui (Record) method in eCATT.
This does work fine.
The second step I tried was to log the time and write it in a table to work with the times.
If I do this I always get an runtime error, I know why it appears but I do not have any idea how to solve this.
My script is:
message ( UZEIT ).
SAPGUI ( CC04_100_STEP_1 ).
SAPGUI ( CC04_1100_STEP_1 ).
endmessage( UZEIT ).
settab ( ypdm1t001, UZEIT ).
UZEIT is an Inputparameter with no reference.
The short text of the runtime error is:
Access not possible using 'NULL' object reference.
If I delete the definition of the parameter UZEIT the runtime error does not appear but I get the error in the Log that the parameter UZEIT is not defined.
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
greets
manuel

Hi Harsha,
UZEIT is a command interface (I changed it so that is no more an parameter).
There seem to be no restrictions to add values in the table. I already spoke to collegues here and they cannot find a mistake.
I would further try to describe you what I want to do. Perhaps you have better ideas.
What I want to achive is to get an overview over response times of defined transactions.
We have a system landscape with local SAPGUIs and with installations on WTS and we want to compare response times from both sides.
Therefore I made the eCATT skripts.
Now I want to write the times somewhere so that I need not to write them down from every log file.
At this point I wanted to write the times (which should be stored in UZEIT) to a table so that afterwards a report can write those times in an excel file.
If you have better ideas to realize this please tell me.
Thank you in advance for helping me.
greets
Manuel

Hi Micky
Firstl you should upload the Line items for a particular sales Order in an Internal table
and then pass that internal table to your BAPI during your coding corresponding to a particu;lar sales order

Urgent help need on eCATT script

Hi
How to use eCATT script tool with transaction SECATT.
urgent please help.
regards,
R K

Hello Rao
If you are using a "normal" transaction without any controls (like ALV lists, trees) then you can use the recording pattern TCD REC (TCD (Record)).
In transaction SECATT give a name for your test script (e.g. Z_XD01 or Z_CREATE_CUSTOMER). Within the test script choose pattern TCD REC and enter the transaction you want to record (e.g. XD01).
After finishing the recording you will see the following line in the eCATT editor:
TCD ( XD01 , XD01_1 ).
Meaning:
- TCD = recording pattern
- XD01 = recorded transaction
- XD01_1 = eCATT interface for the transaction
Next double-click on the eCATT interface name (here: XD01_1). Next to the editor you will see the interface displayed as tree and as ALV list. Here you can parameterize your transaction.
Please note that you should preferably use the highest available SAP release for eCATT recording. If, for example, your business system has release 6.20 and you have a 6.40 system available record the eCATT on the 6.40 system via RFC.

Uwe

ECATT Script with SAPGUI Commando works in consolidation but not in prod.

Hi experts,
I created a eCATT script with commando SAPGUI Rec. In our consolidation system it works fine but when I try to let it run in production it is not working. User scripting is enabled (in options and in rz11). I am starting the script, the production system is getting opened but afterwards there happens nothing anymore. Also the scriptingsign in the bottom right corner is not active.
When I am running a script with TCD Rec, it works fine in production. Is there a difference between settings for scripting for TCD Rec and SAPGUI scripting? Do you have any idea which kind of influences there could be that make this difference between TCD Rec and SAPGUI Rec scripts?
Best regards and thank you in advance!
Jan

Hello,
Ideally we should not run the ecatts in the production system as this would hamper the system environment or change systems.
Also check in RZ11 enter sapgui/user_scripting , here the values for the last three parameters are set to TRUE.
Thanks & Best regards,
Ajay

Error for linking ecatt Script for exporting parameter

Hi,
We have 2 SAPGUI scripts, one is transaction CO01 to create the production order. The other is CO02 to release the production order. In the first script I get production order number as parameter 1 in the message field. I need to export this field to second script for releasing order.
I am not able to pick the order.
Tried to use ABAP code
ABAP.
DATA: z_aufnr like CAUFVD-AUFNR.
get parameter id 'ANR' FIELD Z_AUFNR.
ENDABAP.
Still export parameter in log comes as empty. So if I create thrid script using ref# it errors out at second script start.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gajanan

Hi
you don't have to use abap for this .
in the command editor
choose first script recording interface and double click it ,observe the screen list on right side and now select the last screend and double click field and parameterize it say give it a name as variable1 by entering this in valin column.
Create a parameter and by param1 name and export type and default values as variable1.
Now for the second script create a parameter as import type and set it's value as &param1&.
Also pass this value to second script by the same as you done for first script.
This will work for sure.

ECatt script setting error (se06)

Hi Guys,
I have very small issue but I couldn't figure it out. I was using ecatt script to create user but whenever I try to enter new script name it gives me this error. (System setting does not allow changes to be made to object ECAT Z_NEWUSER_CREATION )
I checked scc4 setting for escript it allowed.
I also checked se06 modified setting but I can't find out which one has to be change to "modified" in se06.
Can anyone please help resolve this issue.
Thanks
Faisal

Thanks for replied
I checked the both are allowed, ecatt script and the changes to repository and across-client customizing. I guess it's something to do with se06 where we usually set up as a modifiable
My issue hasn't been resolve yet, can you/anybody please help me resolve this issue.

Re-recording all of the eCATT scripts after system upgrade

Hi,
Ive heard something today that got my attention: some people say that you have to re-record all of your scripts after an upgrade. In other words, upgrade from, for example, 5.0 to 6.0 makes eCATT scripts unusable and worthless. It is not just some screens or screen sequences have changed, and must be re-recorded. It's a total change and everything, all scripts, have to be re-done.
I would like to get some clarification on this.
Thank you in advance, Alexei Merkoulov

Yes, I've also heard about this before. We do not use a lot of CATT (it's been turned into the data loading tool), so it is not an issue for us.
Here is my concern - we are on ECC 5.0 (WAS 6.40) and using eCATT to create and maintain scripts for automated functional testing. Let's say, we upgrade our system to 6.0 or 7.0, and want to use existing scripts for regression testing. I do not want to discover unexpectedly that our entire (all of it) existing body of automated scripts cannot function with the new version of the software.
Please let me know if you have similar experience with managing eCATT scripts upgrade in the past (say 6.20 to 6.40).
Thanks, AM
