ECATT for data upload

Former Member — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:19:11 GMT

Hi,

We want to use ECATT for data upload. We have created test script, test data container and test configuration. We are uploading the variants from external file from EDIT-> variants-> Upload. But does the text file need to have different variant names against each data record as this becomes cumbersome. Also for parameter fields which have fixed value, needs to be available in text file with the value?

Is there any other method for data uploading using ECATT?

Hi Prashant,

The way you do is correct..just a little modification to it..There is some # symbols are some separators splits the variable and data for the parameters..

Wat you do is?Take only one variant from the available parameter list and you can export them into a text file..then you can see how the variables n values classified there..

Later you do the same for all variants...and you can add more variables n values accordingly for your need.I did this long back ago..Hope it should work...

Regards,

Venky

It is mandate to mention a variable name in the test data.it may be cumbersome.

One thing need to be kept in mind.The test data file should be in the sapworkdir folder.

Upload the test data by giving the file path.

There is no need to mention parameters with default values.

Hi,

For your later questions I will answer as your previous questions are well answered by others.

For parameters with fixed values, you dont need to put it in the external file but only if you have used the Fixed values against the Parameter in the test script .

In Ecatt, TCD Recording mode is widely used.It is comparively faster when compared to SAPGUI Method.

SAPGUI is very slow. SAPGUI method can be used if you need to upload longtext or if you need to record Active X Controls as these cannot be handled by TCD Method.
