ECATT for data upload

Hi,
We want to use ECATT for data upload. We have created test script, test data container and test configuration. We are uploading the variants from external file from EDIT-> variants-> Upload. But does the text file need to have different variant names against each data record as this becomes cumbersome. Also for parameter fields which have fixed value, needs to be available in text file with the value?
Is there any other method for data uploading using ECATT?
Prashant

Hi,
For your later questions I will answer as your previous questions are well answered by others.
For parameters with fixed values, you dont need to put it in the external file but only if you have used the Fixed values against the Parameter in the test script .
In Ecatt, TCD Recording mode is widely used.It is comparively faster when compared to SAPGUI Method.
SAPGUI is very slow. SAPGUI method can be used if you need to upload longtext or if you need to record Active X Controls as these cannot be handled by TCD Method.

Getting an error while using BAPI for data upload using FB50

Hi,
Can someone please help with the error below :
To Upload Data Using FB50 , am using 'BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST' FM
and passing values as
obj_type = REACI
obj_KEY = '$'
obj_sys = t000-logsys
getting errors errors in return as

Thanks

Control indicators for controlling area (t-code OKKP ) is a primary configuration before the company is set to production. Here we maintain which sub areas of controlling are activated. Have a look at those settings.
Check the validity of the accounts/cost element in the KA03 to ensure the cost element is valid on the date of transaction.
What is the error message number?

The problem is this
perform bdc_field using 'ZTABLE-NAME'
'W_MAT-NAME'.
You are always passing literals, not variables.
This is the way you want to do it.
perform bdc_field using ZTABLE-NAME
W_MAT-NAME.
By the way, I don't see any filename in that function, what are you reading?

Best Practice for Flat File Data Uploaded by Users

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
1.     Users would like to upload data from flat file and subsequently view their reports.
2.     SAP BW support team would not be involved in data upload process.
3.     Users would not go to RSA1 and use InfoPackages & DTPs. Hence, another mechanism for data upload is required.
4.     Users consists of two group, external and internal users. External users would not have access to SAP system. However, access via a portal is acceptable.
What are the best practice we should adopt for this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi,
I can share what we do in our project.
We get the files from the WEB to the Application Server in path which is for this process.The file placed in the server has a naming convention based on ur project,u can name it.Everyday the same name file is placed in the server with different data.The path in the infopackage is fixed to that location in the server.After this the process chain trigers and loads the data from that particular path which is fixed in the application server.After the load completes,a copy of file is taken as back up and deleted from that path.
So this happens everyday.

About eCATT and Data Transfer

Hi,
I have a confusion.
Can I consider eCATT as a standard data transfer tool.What may its greater advantage be?
Thank you

SAP CATT - Computer Aided Test Tool
Just sharing my experiences with CATT (although, I have not used this feature in the last 2 years or so !).
Simply, any one in SAP can use this tool as long as you can access to the tcode. I used CATT atleast in 3 different SAP modules. Typically, in SAP projects, CATT execution is a favorite task for "technical" associates. When the technical resources are either not available immediately or their plate is full with other important tasks, functional associates can simply jump into this activity, since there is no coding or programming involved. This tool has been a great gift from SAP since I am a functional person and could not do coding ! I can remember at least 30 or 40 occassions where I used CATT to get this and that done.
Below find few examples:
1. Created multiple sales orders (excess of 200) in a matter of minutes for the purpose of end user training
2. Created multiple purchase ordes (excess of 200) in a matter of minutes for the purpose of end user training
3. Created Deliveries for the sales orders in a matter of minutes for the purpose of end user training
4. Created config. entires, if the volume of records is large. I remember once I entered 900 records.
5. Extensively used in preparing the transactional data for the purpose of archiving. It worked impeccably.
6. Loading of master data (example: material groups)
Note: Upon execution of CATT, it is very possible that some records will fail, which have to be addressed manually. SAP really needs to further enhance this area of CATT because, there is no easy way of identifying the failed ones, it has to be done manually. One workaround is simply download the result into an Excel and using sort feature of Excel, identify the failed ones and deal with them manually.
With Compliment by: Ranga Rachapudi
CATT stands 4 Computer Aided Testing Tool
Although CATT is meant for as a testing tools, many SAP users have now use CATT frequently to upload vendors master data and make changes to other master record.
SAP Consultant and Abapers tends to used it for creating test data.
With CATT, you don't have to create any ABAP upload programs and this save on development time. However, you still have to spend time on data mapping into the spreadsheet format.
The transactions run without user interaction. You can check system messages and test database changes. All tests are logged.
What CATT does is record you performing the actual transaction once.
You then identify the fields that you wish to change in that view.
Then export this data to a spreadsheet to populate with the data required.
This is uploaded and executed saving you keying in the data manually.
To perform CATT, it has to be enabled in your production environment (your systems administrator should be able to do this - SCC4).
You will also need access to your development system to create the CATT script.
User Guide for Data Upload
The use of CATT is for bulk uploading of data. Although CATT is primarily a testing tool, it can be used for the mass upload of data. The way CATT works is like a real user actually inputting on the SAP screen. You prepare a set of data that are required to be input into the system and execute what you called a Test Case and CATT will do the boring task of keying for you.
Over-all procedure
The over-all procedure to upload data using CATT is as follows:
· Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input.
· Download of the source file template.
· Modification of the source file.
· Upload of the data from the source file.
Details of each step are provided in the following paragraphs.
Detailed Procedure
Creation of the CATT test case:
Creation of the test case is completed as follows:
· Execute Transaction SCAT
· Name the test case. Test case name must start with Z. It is also good practise to include the transaction code in
the test case name (e.g. Z_IE01_UPLOAD for the upload of equipment)
· Click the Record button.
· Enter the transaction code (e.g. IE01)
· Continue recording the transaction. Ensure data is entered into every field that is to be used during the upload.
· Save the test case.
Download the source file template
Download of source file template is conducted in two stages as follows:
· Creation of import parameters:
· Within transaction SCAT, Double Click on the TCD line in the Maintain Functions screen.
· Click the Field List button (Field list is displayed).
· For every field that you wish to upload data, double click in the Column New field contents (This creates an
import parameter).
· In the Maintain Import Parameter Pop-Up:
· Delete the default value if not required.
· Press Enter
· The New field contents column now contains the character & followed by the field name (e.g. &EQART). This
is the name of the import parameter.
· Repeat this for every field (in every screen) to be uploaded.
· Back out and save the CATT test case
· Download of source file template:
· Use the path GOTO -> Variants -> Export Default
· Select path and file name (e.g. C:TEMPZ_IE01_UPLOAD.TXT)
· Click Transfer
Modify the source file
The downloaded source file template is now populated with the data that is to be uploaded. This is completed as follows:
· Using Excel, open the tab-delimited text file.
· Do not change any of the entries that already exist.
1st row contains the field names.
2nd row contains the field descriptions.

Data Upload throgh LSMW

Hi All
I want to upload vendor transaction through T code: F-43, with tax items
Could you help me in the following points:
1. Fields to be taken in Structure
2. How to handle the WHT and Tax as these are automatically deducted during the posting
3. Sample sheet for data upload
Thanks in advance
SAPUSER5

Hi SAPUSER5,
Please clarify, whether your question is related to Cut Over activities or day to day activities..
If it is Cut over:-
> In Cut Over activities, you should not upload with TDS tax codes assigned in the vendor master active, because, in that case TDS gets posted automatically posted when you post to a Vendor Account. There is a workaround for stopping TDS posting .. Do let us know your requirement.
> Routine - You don't need to enter TDS codes in the upload sheet.. It will get calculated automatically when you post to a Vendor Account.
Do let me know if you have more questions on this..

Data Uploads done with one User Id not visible to other users in SPM

Hi,
Data uploads were successfully carried out by one of the SPM users. However, other users (with different user id) are not able to see anything in the Data Upload Summary screen.
Is there a restriction on the visibility of Data Upload Summary for data uploads carried out with one User id to other users in SPM? A similar behaviour is observed for other screens within the Data upload workbench.
Incase this is not the expected behaviour, it would be great if you could please provide pointers to possible reasons for this.
Just for your information, all users have been granted same privileges in the SPM application.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashish Sharma

Hi Ashish,
No this is not the expected behavior. We have seen this issue for other customers in the past but the reason has always turned out to be role related.
Can you ensure that the required SPM roles are assigned to the user who do not see the DM data both in ABAP as well as portal.
Thanks,
Divyesh

Best data upload protocol.

HI Everyone,
We are managing a JSP based application in which we uploads data using HTTP Protocol. Daily data uploads are in GB's. the problems that we are facing are:-
Memory Heap size.
Request timeout errors of our web server.
No Resume support in case of network error.
Now we want to upgrade our application to get following benefits:-
Get rid of above mention problems.
Reduce data upload time.
Resume support in case of network errors.
I have following questions in this regard:-
What should be the Data upload protocol ? HTTP OR FTP.
What should be the Application interface for data uploading module ? like Java Applet, JSP OR Java Desktop application etc .
To resolve Memory Heap size errors we are using cronjob to restart web server, is it OK ? OR there is some other batter solutions for this.
Your value able advice is required to make correct decision.
Regards.

There is no best. What CAN you use? If FTP is an option (and make it SFTP) then of course go for that, then you don't have to be bothered by the clunky HTTP file upload.
> What should be the Application interface for data uploading module
How about a proper existing SFTP client? There is absolutely no reason at all why that should be anything Java related.
> To resolve Memory Heap size errors we are using cronjob to restart web server, is it OK ? OR there is some other batter solutions for this.
How about finding and solving the source of your memory leaks?
