Ecatt vs. Manually entered transactions

Hello
We are currently performance testing and we are thus creating a lot of transactions using eCATT - e.g VA01.
My question is now: why is there a difference in response time when creating one VA01 with the eCATT and creating one VA01 manually (with exactly the same line items, customer etc.)?
And finally: is there a ratio that we can apply to compare eCATT generated VA01s with manually entered VA01s?
Thank you very much.
Cheers
Tajs

Hi,
ECATT is a automation tool meant for functional testing in SAP. It comes with WAS.
QTP tool which is a third party tool for automation testing. The language used here is VB Script.
The only drawback with ECATT as of now is that it can execute web based SAP transactions except WebDynpro.
If the testing of SRM, CRM etc is involved, one is forced to use QTP.
QTP takes the wrapping of ECATT and executes in SAP.
SAPGUI based transactions are involved in testing than ECATT is the best tool to be used.
And if web based transactions are also involved, forced to go for QTP.
I think it would help you to some extent

Manually Entering Segment

Hi,
I have created 4 segments:
SBU1
SBU2
SBU3
SBU4
I have created 3 Profit Centers
PC01
PC02
PC03
Now in the above scenario, the client wants
SBU1 >>> PC01 and PC02
SBU2 >>> PC01 and PC03
SBU3 >>> PC02 and PC03
SBU4 >>> PC01 / PC02 / PC03
If I do not maintain any segment in the above 3 Profit Centers Master Data, is it possible to manually enter the segment while posting an entry in the system?
NO NEW GENERAL LEDGER / DOCUMENT SPLITTING IS CONFIGURED IN THE CLIENT SYSTEM
Please assist on the same.

Hi
You have the choice to derive Segment
1. From Profit Center Master
2, Write your own logic in Badi FAGL_DERIVE_SEGMENT
3. Enter segment manually at each transaction.

All activity prices are manually entered (Message no. KP211 )

Dear All,
I have maintained Activity Rates through KP26. On Activity Master I have set Act. price indicator = 5.
Now when i am executing KSII it is giving me error message as :
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area FLGP, fiscal year 2011, and version 0 were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Proceed
Please let me know if I need to done any additional settings.
Br, Vivek Srivastava

Hi Vivek,
"The error message KP211 is display by the system due
to the SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
(can you review the settings in the system).
The procedure that you have to follow is to review transaction code
KP26 and your activity types.
From viewpoint of actual price iteration all plan prices are political
in the sense that 'prices does not change during actual price
iteration'. If all activity types have indicator 1 then everything
will be evaluated with plan price in actual. So actual price iteration
has nothing to compute because no price will be changed. You have to
set price indicator to 5 or 6 in actual price indicator for at least
one activity type in order to calculate the actual activity price.
When you change some activity type master data in transaction KL02,
these changes take effect in all relevant tables, BUT please notice
that the values of TARKZ, TARKZ_I etc. are only DEFAULT values for
activity planning and therefore ONLY READ ONCE when the relevant
planning set is created. Subsequent changes to the master data (default
value) take not effect in the planning sets. You have to change the
values in every single planning set manually."
You indicates that for the activity types you have set in the master data
actual price indicator to 5 (Actual price, automatically based on
on activity). But this is only a default value and can be overwritten
for example during planning.
Please see table COKL for cost center / activity type if have an empty field for
the actual price indicator. Thus the system only finds the plan price
indicators during price calculation and message KP 211 is justified if
you consider the following part of the long text:
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those
calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and
those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they
have been set manually.
In order to run KSII as expected by you, you have to execute trans.
KP26 for the cost center and activity type using layout 1-204
(Activity Types: Indicators).
Here you can set the actual price indicator to 5.
Afterwards there should be no further problem with KSII.
I hope helps,

Manually Enter the Sales Order Schedule Line

Dear All,
I have a requirement where Sales Order will be created by Customer Service with Quantity and customer requested delivery date. Subsequently Planning department will go to the sales order schedule lines and enter manually the delivery date and confirmed quantity (multiple schedule lines) based on the stock/availability. They also need to do some changes in the shedule line if required. But when I try, the manually entered schedule lines are disappeared. Could any one advice how to set this up?
Thanks,
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat
A schedule line gets grade out because this has been determined . through schedule line determination. . Now in the shipping data tab you can change the schedule line tab if you want . manually you can change the request delivery date also.
But it is not advisable to change the schedule line because again the affect of availability check will vary.
But can we know for what purpose you want to change the schedule line when you create the sales order. Any reason .For what purpose you are going for that customization ?For what purpose?
Regards

How can I manually enter MIDI channel number in Control Surface expert Value Change field?

I am creating a software interface for a multidimensional controller which can transmit many linear values at the same time. I can not use Learn mode because it always sends data from all sources, but I can split them by MIDI channels. I would like to manually enter controlling values into Control Surface expert view.
I seem to be able only to input the message, but not MIDI channel on which it is transmitted.

Stupid me, it's hex... so 80 is Note Off ch 1, 90 Note On ch 1 etc

Address bar no longer works with manually entered URLs

Four days ago the address bar stopped working. I am accustomed to manually entering many URLs and hitting 'enter' but although I can still enter URLs as normal, the 'enter' button does not load the relevant page, nor does the green arrow at the end of the address bar do so.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:

Hide Command field (where users enter transaction codes in SAP GUI)

In our requirement, the custom SAP transaction will be launched on CRM Web UI through transaction launcher technique (when users clicks a hyperlink on CRM UI)
But business people are asking us to not provide the user to enter transaction codes in command field. They don't want User's see command field when the back-end SAP GUI is displayed on CRM UI through transaction launcher and they don't want the user to navigate to any transaction from the SAP GUI. Please let us know you comments on this. Is this possible, if so please guide me?

Hi Madhu,
This is a question for SAP basis.
One work around could be that the the users who would use ITS screens should not have any other AUTH objects for executing other TCODES. And when they try to do so they will get an error message like you do in a normal SAP GUI.
Basis can configure this by running a Auth Trace.
Hope it helps.
Thanks

Reset Manually Entered Constrained Forecast Key Figure

We use Demand Planning to forecast future Sales Volumes. Not too sophisticated. We take a monthly extract from R/3 which summarize the last months Sales Actuals.
based on a given period of Sales History we then run a statistical forecast whicgh generates future months foreasts.
Once a manual adjustment has been made to a key figure by either Acciount Manager/Marketing Group?Demand Planner, that particular field is highlighted in 'YELLOW'. Once this is done any future copies of stat numbers into those fields does not overwrite the users manual inputs. As you would expect.
However we have some apparently manually entered values in our Constrained Key Figures that are completely incorrect. However because the cells are yellow, the copy key figure macro will not be able to overwrite these values. Is ther a way I can somehow reset these yellow cells so that they no longer resist the copying of data into them.
Apologies if I am using the incorrect terminology here.
Thanks for anything you can suggest.

I think your requirement could be met by exploring macro functions CELL_BG(), CELL_FG(), CELL_INPUT(), ROW_BG(), ROW()FG or ROW_INPUT() functions. All the macro functions can be made conditional, example a specific technical/business situation leads to color/editability etc.

How to use the manually entered Hours/Days in the Duration field for BG_ABSENCE_DURATION

Hi All,
How to use the manually entered Hours/Days in the Duration field for BG_ABSENCE_DURATION fast formula?
Requirement is to restrict employees for applying for leave more than the accrued balance. In SSHR, apply leave functionality, the employee enters the start date, end date and duration manually. The entered duration must be used in the fast formula to check against available balance.
In the BG_ABSENCE_DURATION FF, I have a function to calculate the net accrual balance as on the calculation date.
I want to add the logic as - If to_number(Duration) /*[manually entered value]*/ > net accrual balance then
Duration = 'FAILED'
invalid_msg = 'Error'
return duration, invalid_msg
Thanks!

Hi,
We have a standard functionality to override the duration calculation and you don't need to add a validation for the same. Please set the value of profile option HR: Absence Duration Auto Overwrite to Yes
When you do this user will not have to enter the duration value manually. It will get auto calculated based on the duration calculation in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION when you click on the next button.
For not allowing negative leaves to be applied, If you are on R12 then, this is a standard functionality and you need to set profile option HR Allow Absence Negative Balance to No
If you are on 11i then refer Note: 268171.1: How Do You Stop Accrual Plans from Going Negative?
Try and let me know in case you need further help.
Thanks,
Sanjay

I'm among about 140 people who received the same email. I want to include all of those addresses in a new group. Is it possible to create the group without having to manually enter each of the 140 addresses?

I'm among about 140 people who received the same email. How can I create a new group for these people without manually entering all 140 addresses?

Hi SDGNOM,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to export list to Excel with all columns in your SharePoint.
For the SharePoint RPC protocol method, SharePoint export to excel will take the list id as well as the view id. So we cannot export list to Excel with all the columns without having to depend on the fields
chosen in the default view.
Reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms478653.aspx
For a workaround, you can achieve your demand via PowerShell. Here is a template you can refer to:
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$webUrl,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$outPath
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
write-host ("Path: " + $outPath)
foreach($list in $web.Lists)
$exportlist = $null
$exportlist = @()
$list.Items | foreach {
$hash = $null
$hash = @{}
foreach($fld in $_.Fields ){
Try {
$hash.add($fld.Title, $_[$fld.Title])
Catch [System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException]
# Eating an error caused by duplicate column names.
Finally
#"End"
write-host ("Exported: " + $_.Title)
$obj = New-Object PSObject -Property $hash #@{
$exportlist += $obj
$expath = $outPath + '\' + $list.Title + '.csv'
$exportlist | Export-Csv -path $expath #$oPath

Can I get my iCloud keychain PW so that I can manually enter it?

iCloud Keychain created a PW for me to use to create an account with an ISP.
I would like to login to the account using my email account and PW using a shell session, but I need the PW which is kept by iCloud Keychain.
Is there any way I can access this PW and manually enter it during my shell session?
Thank you.

Click launchpad, click the "Other" icon on the apps list. Click keychain access. You can search for all sites that have passwords stored for them. Double click on the website your looking for click the Show Password check box, enter your admin password and click allow. There is the password in question, I believe you are searching for.
Keep in mind you may have to select the Password option in the left menu pane under category before your search.

How do I manually enter a location for photos in Photos app?

I had just started to use the old iPhoto but then came the update to Photos app. I used to be able to manually enter location for some of my photos in the iPhoto app. How can I do the same with the new Photos app? Since this is an update, surely there must be a better way or improved interface to do the same!

Unfortunately they have not included this feature in the new Photos app.
