Info about eCATT Testing Tool

Former Member — Wed, 23 May 2007 10:26:09 GMT

Hi All,

I have read various blogs/threads regarding eCATT Testing tool. I can see how to create eCATT scripts but my questions is how do we open eCATT tool.

I ve read that we have to enter "SECATT" as tcode, but where?

I ve SAP Netweaver Application Server 7x and Developer Studio installed on my M/C, please let me know if there is anything else to be installed to get started with eCATT, if yes then it would be great if you could provide me with relevant URLs as well.

Regards

Check CATT help.

http://saptechnical.com/Tutorials/eCATT/eCATTMain.htm

SAP users use CATT frequently to upload master data or to make changes to master data records. SAP Consultants and Abapers tend to use it for creating test data. The transactions run without user interaction. You can check system messages and test database changes. All tests are logged. The CATT records your keystrokes while performing the actual transaction. 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.

The process of uploading data with a CATT:

Activate CATT in your client

In transaction code SCC4 - click the change button

Double click on the client number

In the Restriction section, tick Allows CATT processes to be started.

Upload data using CATT

1. Create Import variant for the fields you need

Transaction SCAT

Goto Parameters

Create Import Variant

Goto Variant -> Edit

Goto Variant -> Fast entry or F9

Duplicate 01

2. To change the MRP Group for a list of Material

Assuming that I want to change the MRP Group for a list of Material.

My text files should look something like this:

[Variant ID] [Variant Text] &ZDISGR &ZMATNR

--> Parameter texts MRP group Material

--> Default Values M1 A001

Changes to the default values displayed above not effective

#01 M1 A001

#02 '' A002

#03 M1 A003

Note : '' denotes a blank in the field. e.g. Material A002 MRP group will be replaced by a blank.

3. Configure the recorded entry fields to read from the imported text file data

In the CATT : Maintain functions test case Screen

Double click on the Object Name

Double click on the screen number with your desired fields

Park the cursor on the fields

Click Edit -> Details

Fill in the Parameters Name and Field Contents

Finish Save it.

Assign your text file data.

In the CATT : Execute test case Screen

Click External from file and choose your text file

CATT will now read from your text file and update whatever data you have specified.

Thanks all for your prompt reply,

Sathish the URL you gave states, to call eCATT

Go to the initial screen by one of the following:

· Choose SAP menu - Test - Test Workbench - CATT - Extended CATT.

· Use transaction code SECATT.

Where do I find SAP Menu ?

Please pardon me for my ignorance as I am absolutely new to SAP Applications.

I ve installed NWDS and Netweaver App Server and have some test Web/ Webdnpro applications running on it. Now I want to understand eCATT tool, so what are the steps to follow if I want to test these applications using eCATT.

Thanks Sapna, your Weblogs are helpful but I am stuck at a stage prior to these.

I yet do not know how to run eCATT tool, to record and execute those scripts.

As I have mentioned previously I ve Netweaver web application server(for JAVA not for ABAP) and Developer studio installed on my M/C. Do I need to install anything else?

Your weblog states:

eCATT Prequisites:

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.

Now is Netweaver Application server 7.x equivalent to WAS 6.20

If yes, then do I need to install SAPGUI and R/3 also.Or is availaible with JAVA Netweaver App Server.

Would really appreciate if you provide me with URL from where I can download these.Reading material regarding these will also be helpful.

Regards

Hi Kaushal,

The product has evolved like anything from WAS 6.20 to SAP NetWeaver server. Recommended is either to refer a BASIS consultant(NetWeaver Administrator) for more details or SAP on servicemarketplace for verification whether eCATT can work on the mentioned version and what other components you will need to load.

Hope this helps you.
