Hi Gabriel,

how are you executing the script? Script directly, via the test configuration or via the test workbench (STWB_2) in SAP solution manager.

I am actually facing the same problem and just opened an OSS for this.

For me everything works fine, when i run the script in a remote system via the test configuration, but when i start it via the test workbench the connection takes too much time and i get the same message as you are getting for the first variant. - All other variants are running through fine.

The funny thing is that i tried increasing the eCATT wait time for connection in my sap gui - the result: now the connection takes more time and i am still getting the same result: First variation fails, the remaining run just fine.

Try running your script with multiple variation and see if only the first one fails - I will update you once we have a response from OSS.

Hi Gabriel ,

I can suggest you what i know about Ecatt: just go throught the my below notes, hope u will find a solution.

eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool - BC-TWB-TST-ECA) (which superceded CATT as of Web Application Server Release 6.40) SAP supplies free as part of the R/3 system to document manual user dialog steps and to record, edit, and execute automated functional test cases without user dialog.

eCATT can be used with the Test Workbench.

Transactions executed through eCATT require the same authorizations as manual operation by a live person, so eCATT can be used to verify user profiles.

In principle, the entire ABAP instruction set is available for use within inline ABAP code (CREATE, CALL, DATA, SUBMIT, etc.).

eCATT stores its data in R/3 databases and can be controlled Test Workbench, the Object Navigator (SE80), or externally through the BC-eCATT interface.

Test modules can refer to spreadsheets providing various data that are updated in CATT Maintenance mode.

Logs are created while test modules run.

However, eCATT is less suited for testing lists and display results, menu paths, online help (F1, F4), free-form editor functions, and transactions that contain the statement LEAVE TO TRANSACTION

hope it works.

reward if helpful

thanks,

abdul.
