How to parameter Target System in eCATT

Question

Dear all,
I would like to know if it is possible to have the Target System in the eCATT editor to parameterize them like the interfaces? In fact from solution manager I have to run a business scenario in diffrent satellite systems with RFC connections.
TCD (<transaction code>, <command interface> , TARGET_A).
TCD (<transaction code>, <command interface> , TARGET_B).
TCD (<transaction code>, <command interface> , TARGET_C).
etc.
Kind regards,
Aklilu

Hello Aklilu,
as all people aggree, parametrizing is no option.
But it is even not needed to support your case.
What one should do is:
Use always the same eCATT target system (e.g.TARGET_A)for operations in one certain remote system (say A). Use another eCATT target system (e.g.TARGET_B) for another remote system (say B).
All these commands together can be part of one script or a couple of scripts and modules automating one business case, like in your sample. The target systems are defined in a systemdata container, e.g. SYS_DEV.
If that business case should be executed in another landscape, copy the system data container (e.g. to SYS_PROD), exchange the RFC destinations inside the copy and execute the script with that new system data container.
You even can create multiple testconfigurations refering to the script and assign the different system data container to each. Such you can avoid to type the different system data names again and again on eCATTs start screen.
In that sense eCATT Target Systems are already variables/parameters.
A last hint:
If you have multiple occurrence of a series of transactions in the same remote system, it is not needed to write the target system at each eCATT command. Simply aggregate the commands belonging together in one script and call that script from another one using REF with the target system.
Define TESTSCRIPT SOMETHING.
SAPGUI ( cmdi_ta_1 ).
SAPGUI ( cmdi_ta_2 ).
SAPGUI ( cmdi_ta_3 ).
In another script:
REF( SOMETHING, CMDI, TARGET_A ).
Works also with TCD, FUN, WEBDYNPRO, ....
