Hello,

When you say user authorization , you intend to check if a particular user is able to execute certain transaction where as other user cannot, yes it can done through eCATT using different RFC's which are created to different user and using the RFC the script created for that particular transaction is executed. Script executes successfully with RFC user who has the authorization and fails for other.

However eCATT is a functional testing tool .

Thanks,

Hello Sankar,

You define RFC destinations in transaction SM59. Here you can specify the user credentials required to log on to the relevant systems. If the logon information specified in the RFC destination is incomplete, you usually need to enter the relevant information when a test tries to access the system. That means that tests cannot be left to run unattended when using RFC destinations with incomplete logon information. To get round this problem, its recommend making the central test system a trusted system of each of the systems in the test landscape. This eliminates the need to store a password in
the RFC destination but allows unattended logon. For information about how to set up a trusted and trusting relationships, see SAP Note 128447.

You can also search in SCN to find out more information on RFC.

Thanks,

Aj
