SECATT script error / old SAPoffice data found

Former Member — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:31:57 GMT

Hello

We are trying to run an secatt script to create 2500+ IDs. The script is erroring out because the IDs were previously in this system so the system wants to ask if we want to use the old SAPoffice data, however the script does not knwo how to deal with that so it errors out. usually you can just delete that record from your script and run again. However in this case all 2500+ have been in the system before so there is no way to get it to run. Has anyone found a fix for this? Is there a way to only delete the old SAPoffice data for these IDs?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Vince,

I dont know how to delete the old office data of SAP users once they are deleted and not existing in the SAP system.

Here is what i do for SECATT.

Try to record the Test script1 in SECATT in such a way that it will incorporate this facility of creating users who had pre existed.

I will say perform the recording of SU01 transaction where you create a user who had existed before.

Now you can use this Test script1 for your 2500+ users test data container where all the user ids had preexisted before.

You can have a separate Test script2 for users who did not exist before.

Hope this helps.

Kiran Kandepalli.

Thanks

Have you successful tried this before? Also if an one of the 2500+ were not created before I am going to get the error again but for the reverse reason.

Hi Vince,

I have successfully created and executed eCATT scripts for User Creation at Mass level.

I am confident that what ever you include in the recording of a transaction, will be executed on all the test data variants.

However eCATT is very sensitive to minor variations, so you may have to make multiple attempts before the successfull running of a script.

So make sure that what ever you are trying to acheive through eCATT test script will apply to all the variants in the test data container. So you may end up having more test scripts for different cases.

Hope this helps.

Vince,

Kiran is correct, this can be achieve with SECATT.

However, I would like to add some info that might be also helpful.

Create and run the new script (Kiran's suggestion) that will address your first issue with the following execution options:

a. S No Termination, Continue with next Script Command

b. I Ignore Breakspoints (Default for Collective Execution)

This will give you a log after the completion of the script. The errors will be the users that were not deleted previously and will be your source file for your existing SECATT script to add users.

Run your original script with the new source file and you should be good.

Good Luck!

How do you run it with those options?

In SECATT -> Test Configuration -> "Your Script" -> Execute

This will take you to the next screen, under Shared Tab you will see the Execution options for Error Behavior and Debugging Mode.

Hi Vince,

You need to create two separate eCATT Test scripts:

Test Script 1: Perform recording of SU01 by creating an User id who had existed before but not existing now in the SAP System. Make sure that you record the Pop up that comes and says "Do you want to copy Old SAP office data of User"

Test Script 2: Perform recording of SU01 by creating an User id who had not existed before.

Now You want to run your Test Configuration along with Test Script 1 and Test Data Container 1 with all the Variants of 2400+ Users as you think these Users had pre existed and not existing now.

Check the eCATT logs and if you see that there are some failures(red symbol), You need to execute the Test Configuration again with Test Script 2 and Test Data Container 2 with all failed User creations from above.

Hope this Helps and Good luck

Hi,

This issue normally happens when you are trying to recreate the users which are already existing and has been delted. This is because of the settings maintained by SAP.

If you are tyring to recreate the deleted user ids, within 24 hrs, you normally get this errot of "Do you want to copy the SAP Office user data". To avoid this pop-up,

Go to Transaction SO16 (general office settings)

Within 'address buffering', press the button 'refresh', confirm the subsequent dialog box 'Do you want to really...' with YES. Execute the function SAVE.

Once you refresh the buffer, try to create the user again as a testing user id. You should not get the pop-up again. So, if this test is successful, than create the script for re-creating the existed user id, this should allow you to run the script wihtout the pop-up of copying the SAP Office data.

...and then there's always the "semi-automatic" execution: Execute the script in the foreground with a heavy object (for example a book or a stapler) on the "enter"-button of your computer. In this way you can avoid problems that occur with transactions that occasionally require an extra OK-code because of an extra message. Looks a bit silly and takes a little longer to execute but can be very handy sometimes.

Hi Vince,

an alternate possibility is to use batch input. After the correction of SAP note #823392 the popup is not processed during BI.
