eCATT: Dynamic <target system> for pattern REF possible?

[Former Member]

Hello

I am using eCATT on a Solution Manager (NetWeaver 700). I have to run the test scripts on several different SAP systems.

Therefore, I would like to know whether it is possible to set the target system within the pattern <b>REF </b>(<i>executes another eCATT test script, either on local or remote system</i>) <b><i>dynamically</i></b>?

Definite proof that this is <b>not </b>possible is also welcome.

I am aware that I can replace the REF pattern by a corresponding ABAP...ENDABAP coding, e.g.:

FUN ( BAPI_USER_EXISTENCE_CHECK , BAPI_USER_EXISTENCE_CHECK_1, <target_system> ).

Replace by:

ld_rfcdest = id_rfcdest.
ABAP.
  CLEAR: ls_return.

  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_EXISTENCE_CHECK'
    DESTINATION ld_rfcdest
    EXPORTING
      username = id_username
    IMPORTING
      return      = ls_return.
" NOTE: Not necessary to handle RFC exceptions -> done by eCATT framework
ENDABAP.

" evaluate ls_return...

However, I would prefer - if possible - to use the REF pattern.

Uwe

Hello

In case you may need this functionality here is (one possible) solution.

The testscript <b>ZUS_SDN_ECATT_DYNAMIC_TARGET</b> calls testscript ZUS_SDN_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_GET dynamically on different target systems.

Testscript ZUS_SDN_ECATT_DYNAMIC_TARGET:

*ECSC	Test Script
*ECTD	Test Data Container
*ECSD	System Data Container
*ECTC	Test Configuration

ls_execute = is_execute.
ABAP.
  APPEND ls_execute TO lt_execute.
ENDABAP.
et_execute = lt_execute.

FUN ( ECATT_EXECUTE , ECATT_EXECUTE_1 ).
CHEVAR( &EXCEPTION = ' ' ).
EXIT( &EXCEPTION <> ' ' ).

**FUN ( ECATT_LOG_DISPLAY , ECATT_LOG_DISPLAY_1 ).

The funny part of this script is the <b>FUN </b>pattern where I call function module <b>ECATT_EXECUTE</b> which is used to execute testscripts (or test configurations). As IMPORTING parameter we have a structure <b>START_PROFIL </b>where we can set the <b>SYSTEMDATA</b> (container) and the <b>TARGETSYSTEM</b>.

Hopefully I will find the time to explain this testscript and its possible use and implications in more detail in a blog.
