I want to learn CATT and eCATT

Hi,
Can any one help me in knowing the scope of CATT and eCATT. The advantages , the way it need to be used.

CATT eCATT is a great tool for creating automated tests in SAP and I know of many people that also use the tool for batch jobs.  eCATT uses a record and playback method thats allows your to record your actions in SAP and then parameterize values, add logic and then replay them.  As far as training I'm in the same boat with you Nagaraju.  Our company is also looking for some form of eCATT training or consultation but these types of resources seem to be sparse in North America.  The eCATT online documentation is going to be your greatest resource, here is the link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/aa/1d493b5cdf6716e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Just remember, if you are using verison 6.20 of the Web Application Server instead of version 6.40 you will not be able to use some of the features described in this documentation however much has remained the same between versions.

  • CATT and Ecatt scritps

    Hi all,
        I know that to create CATT and eCATT scripts , we need to have  "eCATT and CATT allowed" in the t-code SCC4.
    But once we create the eCATT and CATT scripts, is it safe to run the scripts after we change the settings in SCC4 to
    "eCATT and CATT not allowed".
    Thanks.

    No, the client setting will have to remain as allowed for you to just run the scripts. I normally create scripts in DEV and then transport them PRD.

  • Can anybody give me the difference between Catt and Ecatt

    Hi gurus,
    Can any body give me the difference between catt and ecatt.

    Hi,
    I think this is new technology in sap.
    I know little bit of this can u go through this.
    eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool)
    What is eCATT?
    eCATT is an SAP Testing Tool used to automate & test business scenarios in R/3. Each test generates a detailed log that documents the test process and results. If the testing is smooth without any errors, this means that the business scenarios mapped in R/3 are correct. If the test results in error then the problem can be analyzed using the error log that is generated. 
    eCATT enables automatic testing in SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java.
    Features of eCATT:
    Following functions can be performed using eCATT:
    Test transactions, reports and scenarios.
    Call BAPIs and function modules.
    Test remote systems.
    Check authorizations (user profiles).
    Test updates (database, applications, GUI).
    Set up customizing tables.
    Test the effect of changes to customizing settings.
    Perform load testing.
    Check system messages.
    Integrated with Test Workbench, so allows proper management of scripts using SCAT transaction.
    Supports CATT migration to eCATT.
    All eCATT Objects are Repository Objects. Therefore one can take advantage of Standard SAP Transport Tools.
    eCATT Objects can easily download & upload in XML with XSD format.
    There can be several versions of Test Scripts, which allows different implementations with different releases.
    The separation of Test Scripts, Test Data & System Data allows for a considerable degree of reuse.
    Why eCATT?
    CATT is no longer supported by SAP for the creation of new developments. Hence all the test scripts developed in CATT are now need to migrate/Update to eCATT. Comparative to manual testing, the following are advantages of using eCATT:
    Due to automation, testing time is reduced to a large extent.
    Due to automation, less manpower is required for testing. This helps financially.
    Due to automation, manual errors are reduced to large extent. Hence results in error free testing. This helps, as no further problems will occur while the usage of R/3 system by end users and hence increases the efficiency.
    Proved to be extremely useful in implementation projects.
    In regression testing, automated test scripts are an ideal method of quickly detecting errors. Automatic test logs make it easy to reproduce test results, enabling fast analysis and planning of further activities, leading to cost savings for the customer.
    Differences between CATT and eCATT?
    Till date, CATT could only be used with the R/3 system. eCATT (which is available with SAP Web Application Server 6.20) covers the automatic testing in SAPGUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java. For other GUIs and Applications, 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.
    eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool)
    eCATT requisites
    Web Application Server (WAS) 6.20 or more.
    SAPGUI 6.20 or more.
    R/3 4.6C or more. (Target system must have sufficient support package level (Details available in SAP Note 519858) or SAP R/3 Enterprise Release 4.7).
    Before creating Test Scripts using eCATT, some system settings need to be done: 
    Maintain table T000.
    1.      Go to transaction SM31
    2.      Enter T000 and chose MAINTAIN.
    3.      In the Change View “Clients”: Overview screen, select the relevant client and choose “Details”
    4.      In the “CATT and eCATT Restrictions” field, select “CATT and eCATT allowed”.
    5.      Click on SAVE. 
    Enabling scripting at the Front-end
    1.      On any SAP GUI screen, choose “Customizing of Local Layout”.
    2.      Choose Options
    3.      Choose “Scripting Tab”
    4.      Select “Enable Scripting”
    5.      Click Apply and then OK. 
    Enabling Scripting on the Application Server
    1.      Go to transaction RZ11.
    2.      On the Maintain Profile Parameters screen, enter sapgui/user_scripting.
    3.       Choose Display.
    4.      If the Current Value is not set to TRUE, then click on Change Value:
    5.      Enter TRUE in the “New Value”.
    6.      Click on SAVE.

    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.
    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.
    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.

  • Chain in CATT and eCATT

    Hi! Experts,
    I have created one CATT test script which execute 2 transaction codes. One transaction code will post an invoice document, one tranasction code will display a document. It is very easy to chain the two transaction together so that transaction 2 will display the document posted in transaction 1 (click on "chain", select source field, select target field. then a chain will be formed).
    However, I found it very complicated to perform the same function for eCATT test scripts. I have to build one test script to post the invoice document, one test script to display a document, one test script which reference to these two test scripts.
    Are there any easy way to build the chain in SECATT (as easy as using transaction code SCEM to build the chain for CATT test scripts) ?

    Hi!
    I have built similar scenario using CATT then migrate to eCATT cause I am more familar with CATT then eCATT. In eCATT, I still have no idea how to pull the information out from the ActiveX object e.g. document overview screen in FB03 in SAP 4.7 which can only be captured in eCATT, not in CATT. My company is using WAS 6.2, NOT 6.4.
    In this scenario, I would suggest building 5 scripts.
    Script 1 : Create Vendor Master (Export Parameter : Vendor No)
    Script 2 : Create Invoice Document (Import Parameter : Vendor No....; Export Parameter : Document No., Fiscal Year and Company Code)
    Script 3 : Display Invoice Document (Import Parameter : Document No., Fiscal Year and Company Code)
    Script 4 : REF Script 2 and REF Script 3 (select all Import and Export Parameter in both REF scripts as import and export parameter of Script 4. Make sure the Export Parameter of Script 4 are : Document No., Fiscal Year and Company Code so that the document no created in REF Script 2 can pass to REF Script 3). In this way, you can reuse Script 3 for other purpose e.g. display a GL Document instead of Invoice document.
    Script 5 : REF Script 1 and REF Script 4 (select all Import and Export Parameter in both REF scripts as import and export parameter of Script 5. Make sure the Export Parameters in Script 5 are : Vendor No., Document No., Fiscal Year and Company Code)
    Hope this help.

    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    You need atleast a little ABAP knowledge to work on the workflows.
    To start -->
    1. Search in SDN Library. There are many good docs on PCRs.
    2. In SAP Insider there was a document submitted by Alan Rickayzen on PCRs. This will give brief overview on PCRs and its uses.
    3. Search this forums for posts on PCRs (especially the replies by Jocelyn Dart and Rajasekar).

    I am a teacher of mathematics and i have a windows pc, but i want to do the next step. I want to buy an iMac. I want to learn how to write mathematical equations and how to do geometrical schema in my documents with iMac. Help me please!!! Thank you very much!!!

    Bonjour VAGRAI
    1) To write math expressions in a text :
         — Microsoft Office 2011 etc. for Mac use its included Equation Editor.
         — OpenOffice.org (OOo) and NeoOffice : download free Dmath 3.3.
         — iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), download free MathType 6.7, fully functional for 30 days, then becomes « Lite » for life as good as the Microsoft equation editor ; it’s better than using Grapher’s equation editor (Applications > Utilities) because MathType can be called from Pages and allows editing equations by clicking the math expressions your text (details on MathType website) .
         — Graph.app 2.3 in Mountain Lion is built to draw curves and surfaces from equations, so it uses an equation editor less powerful than mathType, but it’s easier typing expressions. You may get 2D 3D geometrical drawings from clever equations. Suggest a glance at   http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/  to know all about Grapher (83 pages Instructions for Use - Grapher) and some examples
      2) Geometrical schema :
         — GeoGebra is very popular and used by math teachers.
         — Google SketchUp 8 was not built for mathematics but for architecture, but it’s very easy using it to draw 2D 3D surfaces and solid figures.
         — ShapeOnYou.app allows simples geometrical figures  http://pierre.chachatelier.fr/programmation/shapeonyou_en.php
    3) Some useful websites for screen shots of geometrical schema :
         http://www.mathcurve.com/
         http://perso.orange.fr/roger.assouly/
    Drawings files PDF, TIFF, JPG … can be inserted in an iWork window (Pages).
    I hate LaTex : not necessary to write math books !  
    Au revoir VAGRAI,
    YB24
    Attachment : lines and curves were made with Google SketchUp 8, screen copied (Command-Shift-4), inserted on a Pages sheet to add letters figures rectangles title.
    SketchUp allows drawing precisely an arc of circle 325 mm radius 22,5° angle for instance.
