HI about CATT Scripts

HI Thanks for every one who gave me the reponse to my previous thread. Now i can run both CATT and ECATT scripts.
But can any one clearly tell me the differences or advantages of ECATT scripts over CATT Scripts.

Hi Sreekanth,
I obsereved the follwing differences btw CATT and eCATT
1. By using CATT you can test transaction in R/3 system. Where as by using eCATT you can test SAPGUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java (As it works with SAP Web Application Server 6.20)
2. In eCATT you can write any ABAP login you want, and you can also call RFC,BAPI in the script itself.
3. By using eCATT you can test the web interfaces as well
4. Using eCATT you can have the functionality of other testing tools in the market. like QTP.
5. eCATT provides an interface for external tools. This allows companies to perform automated tests from an SAP system in a complete IT solution landscape across system boundaries. These new options enable complete automation of solution landscapes under standard Windows and Web-based user interfaces- resulting in low-cost operation of an IT Solution.
i think we can consider the above all points as advanteages over CATT tool.
hope this helps. Rewars if it help.

Ran CATT Script for the role assignment to users

Hi All,
I have ran ECATT script for doing role assignment in QAS and completed successfully. I did this through CUA. What is the next step after running catt script? Do I need to doing anything with PFUD in each child system? Because I checked in the child systems many derived single roles are not generated in QAS.(RED). Is it because of running catt script or it might have came like that only from development? Please advise..
Regards,
Masood

Hi,
I have told you why the error message is there. What do you not understand about the resolution? Your parent roles are out of sync with the child roles so you need to re-sync them. An example of how do do this is to "adjust derived" from the master role. Only when you have done this will your roles be in sync again.

CATT: Enhanced Mode (BC-CAT-TOL)

Use
The Test Workbench contains the Computer Aided Test Tool (CATT) to create manual or automatic test cases.
Manual test cases
Manual test cases are most useful for acceptance tests. They are descriptions of tests which a tester must perform manually on the system.
Automatic test cases
Automatic test cases are performed by the R/3 System without user dialog, and are most useful for function tests. The result of an automatic test case is a detailed log which documents the test. The use of automatic tests can considerably reduce the test effort.
Test cases test individual transactions or whole business transactions. Test cases are constructed modularly, to minimize the creation and maintenance effort, above all for business transactions.
The procedure for testing one transaction or function is described in test modules. The creation of test modules is greatly simplified by the CATT recording functionality.
Test procedures can be constructed from the test modules. Test modules are referred to and linked in the test procedure.
In modular test procedures:
n test modules can be reused
n changes to test modules are immediately effective in the test procedures which use them.
Simple test case creation
The transaction test procedure is recorded with a transaction recorder for the test module. The creator runs the application as in normal dialog operation. At the end of the transaction, you go back to CATT.
You can make test cases flexible by subsequently replacing the values input when recording by parameters.
You can store frequently used parameter settings in variants which you use in tests.
This functionality has been available since 4.6 in an additional CATT maintenance mode which can be used by users without technical background knowledge.
Implementation notes
Test cases usually make R/3 System database changes, so they should not run in the productive system. To control this centrally, the client table maintenance has a flag which allows tests to be run in the system.
Authorizations are also checked in CATT.
Integration
The ABAP Workbench infrastructure provides general functions such as correction and transport, the Repository information system, and multi-lingual applications.
In addition, it guarantees the correctness of a test run by updating synchronously, thereby explicitly refreshing the table buffer. This is especially important for transaction chains, where transactions use the results of previously executed transactions.
You can also test processes from one central R/3 system in a different R/3 or R/2 satellite system. The test procedure runs in the central R/3 system and controls the transactions via Remote Function Call (RFC) in the satellite systems.
The CATT logs created contain all information relevant for the test run and are stored centrally in the database of the executing R/3 system.
Functions
CATT can:
     test transactions
     check system messages
     check authorizations (user profiles)
     testing results and database updates
     setup customizing tables
     test the effect of customizing setting changes
These processes are less suited for CATT:
     lists and display results
     menu paths
     Online help (F1, F4)
     editor functions
Restrictions
You cannot use CATT for the following transaction types:
     Transactions that contain the statement LEAVE TO TRANSACTION
SAP CATT - Computer Aided Test Tool
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
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:\TEMP\Z_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.
3rd row displays the default values which are set in the test case.
4th row contains a warning that changing the default values in the spreadsheet has no effect on the actual default values.
The data to be uploaded can be entered in the spreadsheet from row 4 onwards (delete the 4th row warning &
replace with data for upload).
Save the file as a Text file (Tab delimited).
Upload data from the source file
Uploading the data is completed as follows:
Execute the CATT test case
In the Execute screen:
Set processing mode to Errors or Background (your choice).
Set variants to External from file.
Click the Choose button and select the file to be uploaded.
If uploading to another client, click the Remote execution button and select the RFC connection to the required client.
If uploading to the current client, click the execute button.
SAP users use CATT frequently to upload master data or to make changes to master data records. SAP Consultants and Abapers tend to used it for creating test data. The transactions run without user interaction. You can check system messages and test database changes. All tests are logged. The CATT records your keystrokes while performing the actual transaction. 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.
The process of uploading data with a CATT
Activate CATT in your client
     In transaction code SCC4 - click the change button
     Double click on the client number
     In the Restriction section, tick Allows CATT processes to be started.
Upload data using CATT
1. Create Import variant for the fields you need
     Transaction SCAT
     Goto Parameters
     Create Import Variant
     Goto Variant -> Edit
     Goto Variant -> Fast entry or F9
     Duplicate 01
2. To change the MRP Group for a list of Material
Assuming that I want to change the MRP Group for a list of Material.
My text files should look something like this:
[Variant ID] [Variant Text] &ZDISGR &ZMATNR
--> Parameter texts MRP group Material
--> Default Values M1 A001
Changes to the default values displayed above not effective
#01 M1 A001
#02 ''     A002
#03 M1 A003
Note : '' denotes a blank in the field. e.g. Material A002 MRP group will be replaced by a blank.
3. Configure the recorded entry fields to read from the imported text file data
     In the CATT : Maintain functions test case Screen
     Double click on the Object Name
     Double click on the screen number with your desired fields
     Park the cursor on the fields
     Click Edit -> Details
     Fill in the Parameters Name and Field Contents
     Finish Save it.
     Assign your text file data.
     In the CATT : Execute test case Screen
     Click External from file and choose your text file
     CATT will now read from your text file and update whatever data you have specified.

CATTs are very useful for creating mass transactions. I use them when I don't have an abap programmer available to write a BDC.
I actually use CATTs to load inventory, change material type, extending views, change valuation, creating master data for storage bins in WM. You name it, a CATT can be used to create the transaction. It's kind of hard to use for BOM's and Routings but not impossible.
Think of it like a macro.

Transaction SCAT
1. Record your transaction
2. Save the CATT
3. Go into your recorded CATT Procedure and edit the parameters - you set these per SCREEN that you have visited. Double click on the screen number - you will get the screen layout. Place your cursor on a field and mark it as "input", "constant",...
4. Save again
5. If you have input parameters, you can prepare your input file in Excel. Display your parameters. The first ROW in Excel contains the technical description of the parameter. The second row in Excel contains the parameter description the third row contains a default value (this record is therefore NOT uploaded in the CATT) from the 4th row onwards, you will upload the data.
6. Save the Excel file as
7. Run the CATT (choose the processing you like, point it at the text tab delimited file) and go.

If you really want to get into CATT, try the book Testing SAP R/3 Systems; Authors: Gerhard Oberniebermaier / Marcus Geiss; yr: 2000; Pearson Education, LTD. It compliments relatively good documentation that SAP provides in the Application Help area.

SAP CATT (Computer Aided Test Tool) Tutorial Hints and Tips
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.

Issue with Creating CATT Script for Generating Derived Roles

Hi Experts,
I am desperately trying to find the solution on how I create a CATT Script to generate derived roles from few 100 master roles.
I posted a thread on Security (Can I do a 'mass generation' of dervied roles?) .. however, since it turns out to be a SCAT issue, I thought I'll ask someone from this forum too.
Extract from the other thread is as follows :
"I cannot get the script to automate the generation of derived roles.
when Entering parameters for a test case, I can only see the Initial PFCG Screen. Display/Change Authorization screen doesn't seem to get recorded / logged in the test screen.
I.e : All screens with program SAPLPRGN_TREE is recorded, however all screens with program SAPMSSY0 is not.
I hope it makes sense.. Any suggestions on how I can automate the generation of derived roles tasks?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem just now.
Have you found some solutions about it ?

Usage of CATT scripts in Sap FI/CO module

Hello guru's
Please explain the usage of CATT scripts in FI/CO module .
and is there any specifications for using this CATT script in month end FI/Co activities.
please explain me in detail
Thanks & Regards
Chandra.

Dear Chandra,
CATT is a SAP tool for testing certain procedures. It could act like a macro-recorder in Excel. That is, you record your actions for certain transaction via CATT and then replay it for the data that you store in an ASCII file. Some people use CATT for uploading the initial master data as well (e.g. cost centres, internal orders, etc.) instead of other SAP tools (LSMW, IDOC).
Bottom line, there is no activity of using CATT in FI-CO; nor in the routine maintenance, neither in end-period procedures. Someone has mislead you on this point. However, if you'd like to use CATT, you can look at the following link:

'Display a notification about every script error' not working in IE11

Hi all,
I want to see script errors when script errors occur in pages (as a developer). In older versions of IE when you enable 'Display a notification about every script error' a yellow icon appeared at the bottom of IE and when you clicked it, you could see what
was wrong in the scripting.
In IE11 this no longer works. Is this a bug ?

"This is actually by design. The scenario you are describing is better served by the F12 developer tools, and in IE11 we disabled this dialog entirely because of the performance overhead these old dialogs incurred and the fact that the F12 tools
are a better place for this information to surface."

It seems there there is no problem with my FireFox 7.0.1 on my Mac OSX 10.7.2. So, maybe you can solve the problem by updating your OS. The only minor problem here is that Firefox doesn't display in the Tibetan fonts that you choose, it always display in Kailas font for Tibetan.

Question about calculation script 'Fix'

Hi Guys,
I have a question about calculation script 'Fix'. Below is the sample for my question:
Dimension 'Period' has members '2009','2010','2011'. We want to Fix the data which 'Period' is not '2009'.
From Database Administrator's Guide we could use @NOTEQUAL, but version 11.1.1.3.0 seems not support @NOTEQUAL.
Actually, the dimension is dynamic so we cannot use the way fixing other memebers. What should I do for this requirement?
