Use of CATT/ECATT by UK SAP sites

My organisation National Air Traffic Services are investigating the use of CATT/ECATT for testing during the implementation of ERP, future SAP modules, upgrades and hot packs. This may be with or without SAP Tutor or other software such as Test Director. We would like to establish contact with another SAP UK site that has done this successfully and is using these tools on an ongoing basis.

Hi Extended Computer Aided Test Tool is for Basically "Process Testing". we can test web based applications, we can test transactions in SAP with Controls ( which was not possible with "CATT"), we can test programs and Function modules. here we can test a processing scenario which needs different sap servers are involeved.We can use this tool for Load Testing also.
For Upgrade and Hot pach testings SAP has Provided Other Tools.
Thanks,
jaffer

Vendor Master Mass Change using E-catt

Dear Gurus,
We have almost 5000 Vendor Master records, now we need correct all FAX NUMBER field for all vendor, using E-catt functionally, can you please help, i havent explore to Ecatt.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
RS

Hi RS,
Sure !!! you can change the FAX no of the respective 5000 Vendors by running ECATT variant Files in your system.
First of all select out the variant file,which is maintaing the Vendor Master of your company.
Out of the same,select the appropriate field FAX_NUMBER for maintaining the fax no & change all the nos & re-run the ECATT File in the system.

Error when using the REF eCATT command ....

Hi,
When the REF command is used in an eCATT test script to execute another eCATT, only the first REF command executes successfully - all subsequent REF commands fail with these error msgs 'Error in eCATT function SAPGUI', 'Error in Control', 'Message raised at CL_APL_ECATT_LINE_INTERPRETER =CM00K LINE   347'.
Executed separately, the referenced eCATT test scripts are successful.   Executed from one eCATT test script via the REF command, only the first REF command is successful. We are on SAP 6.7 6.40, GUI is 6.40 as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - Thanks !

Thanks for the reply, Jonathan.   Still having the same problem after implementing your suggestion.   Any other suggestions you have would be appreciated.
The ResetGUI = 'X' was done for each command interface in the REFerenced test scripts.   The ResetGUI statement was only found immediately after the 'Command Interface' statement (wasn't found after the 'Processed Screen' statement).
The error still happens for the second and all subsequent test scripts referenced by the 'REF' command.   In the failed REF test scripts, the ConnectionID, SessionID, and SystemInfo statements are the failed statments (red lights beside them).   These three statements are immediately after the ResetGUI = 'X' statment (which has a green light).
Different execution options have been tried, including closing, and not closing, generated GUI sessions.
Really at a loss here to figure out how to get the REF statement to work !

Using as ITS instance with multiple SAP systems

Hello,
Despite the recommendation of note 731679, I´m looking for some documentation or tips related to an ITS configuration to support two different SAP systems.
The note refers to "setting the relevant parameters in the service files or by using URL parameters" but I didn´t found a clear recipe.
Did someone there implement this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

This works fine for a single host system (development) but when I try with a dual-host my new instance u201CBu201D reads the service files of instance u201CAu201D when I try to start an IAC. I gone through all the xml config files and canu2019t find anything wrong. I have instance B configured to use different ports then A. Separate IIS sites for each instance running on WIN2003.
How do the wGate know the correct Agate process to connect to?

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.

Using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems

hi,
using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems,
then what is diff b/w ALE and EDI

Hello KALYAN KUMAR,
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
1.You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems.
2.ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
3.ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
1.You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor).
2. The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12).
3. This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message
I hope u understands the difference:)

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or at least maintain the charge over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

How to use ADS on SolMan instance and SAP standard PDF forms from ERP

Hi there
We have installed and configurated the ADS service on our Solution Manager (SolMan) Instance called SD1.
SolMan Info: SAP Solution Manager 7.0; Stack 17; Java-Stack installed; SAP Netweaver 7.0
All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
FP_TEST_00
FP_PDF_TEST_00
We have linked our ERP landscape (e.g. system ED1) to ADS service running on SolMan.
ERP Info: ECC 6.0; Stack 13; no Java-Stack installed
All ADS test reports can be executed successfully:
FP_TEST_00
FP_PDF_TEST_00
We want to print PDF documents from SAP standard applications on our ERP landscape. Therefore we want to use standard PDF forms provided by SAP and also available in transaction SFP (e.g. form ISSR_NW670_RX_PDF).
Problem: When we try to create a PDF document from the application we get an error message:
Processing exception during a "Render" operation.#Request start time: Mon Feb 02 13:42:08 CET 2009#com.adobe.ProcessingException: Problem accessing data from Destination: dest:FP_ICF_DATA_ED1//sap/bc/fp/form/layout/ISSR_NW605_PDF.XDP?fp-language=DE&fp-cac
I have also checked the trace (see below) and it seems that the system tries to get the form from the SolMan system and not from the ERP system. But the form is only installed on ERP system.
Are there any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Hi there
Our problem is solved. We had a problem with our ADS user passwords.
Thanks.

An issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4

We are having an issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4. We used to have SAP 4.6c and now we have 5.0. When we were on 4.6c, we used these COM components to logon and execute RFC calls and we had much success. Now that we are on 5.0, we cant seem to instance any SAP functions that have something to do with SAP Workflow. We have experienced this problem when using VB6 or .NET, but our existing code that always worked is in VB 6.0.
SAP Components used:
o     SAP Logon Control
o     SAP Function Control
o     Librfc32.dll
o     Other supporting C DLLs and/or COM object supplied with the SAP GUI installation.
For example, if we want to call the RFC ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, this code fails in VB6 when the Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction) line of code executes. Instead of returning an instance of the object ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT function, no object is created. In 6.2, SAP raises no errors, but the object we are trying to create is still Nothing. If we use 6.4, SAP raises an error SAP data type not supported via a message box and then the object is still = Nothing. Interestingly enough, the 6.2 GUI COM controls dont display the error dialog. The message box that is shown comes from the SAP Function COM Object "SAP.Functions" (wdtfuncs.ocx).
Now, what is interesting is if we use the same code to call a standard function or custom function that doesnt have anything to do with SAP Workflow, then the code works fine. Again, all of our code used to work just fine on an SAP 4.6 system.
Here is the code that fails:
    'SAP Logon control - object for creating connections to an SAP system
    Dim objSAPLogonCtrl As Object
    'SAP connection object
    Dim objConnection As Object
    'Object that will represent the SAP function called
    Dim objSAP As Object
    'SAP function control object - object factory for creating other SAP function objects
    Dim objFuncCtrl As Object
    'Create instance of an SAP logon conrol
    Set objSAPLogonCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Logoncontrol.1")
    'Create a connection object
    Set objConnection = objSAPLogonCtrl.NewConnection
    'Define connecion parameters
    objConnection.ApplicationServer = "sapvm"
    objConnection.SystemNumber = "00"
    objConnection.Client = "800"
    objConnection.User = "iissap"
    objConnection.Password = "tstadm"
    objConnection.Language = "E"
    objConnection.TraceLevel = 10
    'call the logon method of the connection object
    If objConnection.Logon(0, True) = False Then
        MsgBox Error
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'Create an instance of the SAP Function control object
    Set objFuncCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
    'Set the function control connection object
    Set objFuncCtrl.Connection = objConnection
    'Function name to be generated and called
    Dim strFunction As String
    strFunction = <b>"ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT"</b>
    'Create an instance of the function defined in strFunction
    Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction)
    If objworkflow Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Could not create object " & strFunction
    Else
        MsgBox strFunction & " object created."
    End If
If anyone has seen anything like this or has any ideas, please help!

Hi,
documentation on the Scripting API is available at ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/scripting/docs/
This API is a replacement of the existing, obsolete COM interfaces.

IDOC trigger using Z change pointers for standard SAP table

For IDOC trigger, is using custom change pointers on standard SAP master data tables, a good idea? A seasoned abaper told me "it will mess with the standard" and further told to go with scheduled job.
So, for example, say that my data for table T001K is updated via transports in PRD and I need to transfer this updated data via IDOC to an external system. Since there is no standard message type for this data, I will create a new one. Further, I will create a new change pointer for table T001K (it already has six fields with their data elements activated for Change Documents). Then I link the message type and the new change pointer. And so on an so forth. I have followed the procedure given here:SAP Tips: A to Z of Custom Change Pointer
Now, the question is, will this be a good idea to capture data and trigger IDOC? Or a batch program with calls to standard FM to read CDHRD/CDPOS be a more suitable option.
I need to know if a near instantaneous data transfer (and an effecient one as far as the system performance and reliability is concerned) can be acheived. If there is any other way of doing this, I am not aware of it!
Any one has any input/experience on this?

Hi Viktor,
I think the batch program approach would be a good solution as the by this way you are taking matter into your own hands rather giving control to the SAP framework because you may have to test out the other approach as to how the standard SAP framework is behaving for custom change pointers.
Thanks,
Ravi

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
...and change the relevant URLs to...
http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/SEO.html
If you have inbound links on other sites...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Inbound-Link.html
... remember to inform the webmasters of you new URL.

I need to clarify how I can use adobe as a host for my site for free. I see where business catalyst is supposed to be temporary as well as it is recommended to use as the better alternative to launch my muse site. But then I have to use the long extension of "businesscatalyst" in addition to the domain name I'd prefer. How exactly can I take it live? do I have to use a third party hosting?

Hi,
Once you are done with your sitet, Click on Publish in Muse, select New Site from the drop down, It will ask you a name for your site, which will be used for site url, you will get a url like mysite.businesscatalyst.com, then go to the browser and login to the admin panel, mysite.businesscatalyst.com/admin and on Dashboard, click Launch site. This will push your site live, and you can then add your custom domain.
Also make sure that you have completed all these actions mentioned here

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

Hi Paul,
As it is an automation tool,it is advisable not to run in Production and I do not think any support will be available for same in case if it causes any issue.So,please check if any support will be avialable to you.
Though,automation tool is reliable,it is working based on GUI concepts and it may lead to failures on various reasons.
Hence,it is suggested not to run in production systems.

SSN.
