Steps in ECATT

HI,
I am totally new to the eCATT field.
My main concern is to upload data from external file. How do I do that? If i receive the feedback by steps how to upload, it will be really great. And also like to know the below:
1. What are the advantages in eCATT compared to CATT?
2. I got an error while executing test data. (SV900 this entry already exist - How can I resolve this error). I couldn't process further as I don't have an idea what to do?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Karthick

Hello Karthick,
1. Uploading data from external file -
1a. For uploading data, for Web AS 6.20, recommended way is to use SCAT transaction.
1b. You can also record the required transaction using SECATT for which data will be uploaded. And then load this data from external file to the variants. Execute this automated script for all those variants.
2. Advantages in eCATT compared to CATT -
2a. eCATT is enhanced successor of CATT available from Web AS 6.20 & more.
2b. CATT won't be no longer supported by SAP so one is forced to use eCATT.
2c - eCATT is purely functional tool. Very easy to use. No programming knowledge is mandatory for using eCATT.
-CATT involves more of programming knowledge.
3. The error you are getting is due to repeatability of data while execution. The transaction needs unique data for every run it seems. Correct the data and try to execute again. You can try with different sets of data for different behavior of transactions. Analysis can be done from the eCATT log. This will help in understanding of input data to be given to the automated script.
PS If the answer helps you, do reward points to everyone responding.

ECATT - Running in Foreground (Enter Key)

We have recorded the transaction VA01,(header and line items) using command tcd.
We are running it in foreground with an external variant . If I press the enter key step by step , the ecatt does not stop and everything works fine. When trying to run the same way with enter key pressed (not removing the finger away from the key) , the ecatt errors randomly. Have any of you had this issue?

Hi,
The check box can be found in the following location:
On the main screen of SAP, there is a Customize local layout icon. Select this and go to options. Select on the expert tab. Then you will see Batch input, and the dial box for OK code.
Thanks,

Build an automatic eCATT with several steps

Hi!
I looking for suitable documentation for e-CATT (e.g. how to build and integrate automatic e-CATT scenarios).
I have created very simple eCATT from tcode SECATT (for tcode MM01 in SAP ECC 05 system) and would like to extend this functionality:
Especially the following information is of big interest for me:
- how to build an eCATT with several steps (e.g. including several transactions)
- how to do this automatically (in a loop)
Any helpful information or examples will be appreciated.
Thank you!
regards
Thom

I am trying to load a the data from a text file on the local work-station. The data is not being read.
Please explain this in detail (step by step) as I am very new to ECATT.
I am trying this on SAP ECC 6.0 IDES server.

Runtime Error while executing eCATT Script

Hello @All,
I worte a small eCATT script to stop the time a certain process needs to finish. The way I did this was to use the SAPGui (Record) method in eCATT.
This does work fine.
The second step I tried was to log the time and write it in a table to work with the times.
If I do this I always get an runtime error, I know why it appears but I do not have any idea how to solve this.
My script is:
message ( UZEIT ).
SAPGUI ( CC04_100_STEP_1 ).
SAPGUI ( CC04_1100_STEP_1 ).
endmessage( UZEIT ).
settab ( ypdm1t001, UZEIT ).
UZEIT is an Inputparameter with no reference.
The short text of the runtime error is:
Access not possible using 'NULL' object reference.
If I delete the definition of the parameter UZEIT the runtime error does not appear but I get the error in the Log that the parameter UZEIT is not defined.
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
greets
manuel

Hi Harsha,
UZEIT is a command interface (I changed it so that is no more an parameter).
There seem to be no restrictions to add values in the table. I already spoke to collegues here and they cannot find a mistake.
I would further try to describe you what I want to do. Perhaps you have better ideas.
What I want to achive is to get an overview over response times of defined transactions.
We have a system landscape with local SAPGUIs and with installations on WTS and we want to compare response times from both sides.
Therefore I made the eCATT skripts.
Now I want to write the times somewhere so that I need not to write them down from every log file.
At this point I wanted to write the times (which should be stored in UZEIT) to a table so that afterwards a report can write those times in an excel file.
If you have better ideas to realize this please tell me.
Thank you in advance for helping me.
greets
Manuel

Creation of BC set for ECATT

Hello,
I have created a ECATT for master data uploading. This created a request number. Now when I am trying to create a BC set using tcode SCPR3 and attaching the above created request it is giving me the following error:-
Message Number: S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY230
Diagnosis
Logical object ECAT is a lockable (TADIR-mandatory) object.

Regarding an Error in eCATT

Hi Experts...
I am new to eCATT and have jus begun using it.
While creating a Sample Test Script, After entering the component (I wanted to record the trasaction for Maintaining Opprtunuites on CRM4.0), even before I started to record the transaction, When i execute the test script I get an error which says,
Parser: No Script Text exists.

Hi Ram,
1.> First of all check if scripting is enabled in front end. Please follow the steps below to enable scripting:
The SAP GUI Scripting component is installed. There is an option for installing this component when installing the SAP GUI.
Procedure
       1.      On any screen, choose Customizing of local layout.
       2.      Choose Options....
       3.      Choose the Scripting tab.
       4.      Select Enable Scripting.
       5.      Choose Apply.
2.> Please clarify the sentence that you have written "even before I started to record the transaction, When i execute the test script I get an error..." what exactly do you mean by that.
3.> Which mode of recording you are using TCD or SAPGUI ?

How to deal with generated programs in eCATT SAPGUI recording?

Hi experts and professionals,
I am trying to automate testing of our solutions by eCATTs and so far i have not been able to find solution for following problem.
Whole test scenario is very simple:
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...)
Create DAP on InfoProvider
Archive InfoProvider
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...) again
Compare results from step 1. and 4. (must match)
Reload archived data
Check InfoProvider data (query, lookup, listcube,...) again
Compare results from step 1. and 7. (must match)
As you can see, one of the required test steps is to check InfoProvider's data in transaction LISTCUBE.
But transaction LISTCUBE generates its program "name" every time it is executed and
I am struggling to find a way how to deal with these generated programs in eCATT SAPGUI recording.
Key is that solution must be generic and work for all SAP BW releases from 7.0 upwards
(having in mind that LISTCUBE can read NLS data from SAP BW 7.3 release).
Error description from eCATT log:
Screen Check Error: Expected Transaction: LISTCUBE, Actual Transaction: LISTCUBE.
Expected Program: GP0KOZE7EFIUBN10MZUFWX90W80, Actual Program: GPBP24INA6VV77SL0XKU5NA642O.
Expected Screen Number: 1000, Actual Screen Number: 1000.
There Is Probably an Error in SAPGUI recording.
ExceptionClass:CX_ECATT_APL_CAPTURE ExceptionId:SCREEN_CHECK_ERROR
RaisingClass:CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER Include:CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER=CM00J Line:443
Is there any way how to avoid program check in eCATT script?
Anything that would help me to find solution will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Igor

Dear Igor,
Your issue is caused by the "screen check" which eCATT processes here.
In General this screen check is a very usefull activity, since is ensures that only those screens are processed by automation, which initially where recorded. This should ensure as much as possible to invoke only intended activities.
Remember, that the driver of the screen flow is still the automated transaction program ( but not the test tool). So application logic decides which screen is send next.
Using screen check the test tool tries to ensure that menu items and buttons and other activities are only automated when the tool "believes" to work on the intended screen.
For generic test scripts and often in context of generated programs the screen check might hurt a bit.
To overcome this, one might try to make the check dynamic (as Sheetal suggests correctly).
If here the name of program cannot be determined for any reason, one can use another method and do following:
- Change the value of ProcessedScreen-Active to 'R'
This will disable/skip the screen-check for this ProcessedScreen.
Sure the solution includes a certain risk, since not checking the correct screen to appear might lead to automation of actions with not desired impact.
Maybe this can improve your solution.
Kind Regards
Jens

Ecatt integration of scripts SAPGUI

Hi,
Using ecatt SAPGUI mode is it possible to integrate two steps in a single script. Say for example
Step 1. post a GL transaction like in (SD creation of a sales order)
Step 2 reverse the above generated document in (SD create a delivery)
The usual procedure is to create two different unit scripts one script for creation of a GL transaction (creation of a sales order) and thre second script for creation of reversal posting (creation of delivery). In the third script integrate both the scripts for creation of a GL transaction and reversing the document (like in SD creation of sales order and as well as delivery). Is there any possibility of creating only one script which includes both creation of a sales order and create a delivery or posting a GL document and reversing the document
Regards,
Manoj

Hello,
Its possible , by recording the operations one after the other.
IF ( '' = '').
creation of a sales order
ENDIF.
IF ('' = '' ).
create a delivery or posting a GL document
ENDIF.
IF ('' = '' ).
reverse
ENDIF.
However this is not the ideal way of doing it from the reusable prespective.
Each of this operation has to be recorded in seperate scirpts and has to called in your process script.
Thanks & Best regards,
Ajay

ECatt Webdynpro ABAP problems

Hello everbody,
we are trying to script a webdynpro ABAP application with eCatt.
We have completed the system configuration steps (see below), but still when trying to record we are getting the error message:
"An error probably occurred during the logon to the Web Dynpro target system. Check user and password in the target system."
We have set up a HTTP connection to the target system with a preset username / password combination in the authentication details. We also log into the target system with this username / password combination directly just fine.
What could we be missing?
Some more questions:
Is eCatt supposed to execute the webdynpro on the target system as the user defined in the http connection or as the user executing / recording the script?
What user should be set in the http connection in the first place? I'm assuming its not the ecatt_http user because that one doesnt even exist in the target system (the guides only ask for this user to be created in the ecatt system)
Regards & Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Just check, if HTTPS is off on this connection.

Please take a deeper look into saphelp for RFC connections, to clearify, which user credentials are used with RFC connections.
