Add-on Installation Options
There are several possibilities to install the Int4 Suite Add-on depending on the client/project preferences.
Centralized installation on SAP Solution Manager or other SAP ABAP Application Server
In this scenario Int4 Suite Add-on is installed in SAP Solution Manager or a separate SAP ABAP Application Server. It would store and manage test cases for all non-production environments.
...
Such installation model requires either:
An Int4 Suite function modules Int4 Suite function module can be created in customer space and the source code is copy & pasted.
Full Int4 Suite Add-on deployment on each SAP ECC/S4HANA backend.

In case only the function modules are deployed, test types like IDocs, AIF and Proxies will not work. |
Decentralized installation directly on SAP ECC/S4HANA Backend
In this scenario Int4 Suite Add-on is installed on the central SAP ECC instance.

Deployment of Int4 IFTT Agent functions module in SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC
To enable end to end testing of SAP Application Interface in SAP Backend special function modules are required. The source code of the module was delivered together with installation files or can be read from the system.
Together with the Int4 Suite package a function module: /INT4/IFTT_F_COLLECT_RESLT_RFC is deployed. It can to be copied as a Z module to both systems: the one that we deployed Int4 Suite Add-on and all other SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC that we would like to test.

It is important that all systems under test have the same function module – with exactly the same name and signature. |
Please make sure that both function modules are set as a Remote-Enabled Module.
After creation the module name needs to be provided to Int4 Suite configuration int the Global Parameters section. Read here for more details about this configuration: https://int4support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IUM/pages/2074083390/Int4+Suite+Configuration#Configure-Global-Parameters-activity. Set the following parameters:
RFC_DB_RESwith the new name for/INT4/IFTT_F_COLLECT_RESLT_RFCmoduleRFC_MSGOUTwith the new name for/INT4/IFTT_F_TRIGGER_MSGmodule
Finally, please also include the module names in the custom role for reading data from backend system.
Configuring of SAP PI/PO middleware platform
Int4 Suite virtualization ICOs
In order to send test messages by Int4 Suite to SAP PI/PO system a two technical ICOs must be created in the Integration Configuration Builder. Please import the .tpz archive from the installation package. The archive contains below objects:
...
Before activation, open the CC_RCV_SOAP and setup target URL as localhost.
Alternative - manual creation of Int4 Suite virtualization ICOs
...
Create Business Component BC_IFTT with description ‘Int4 Suite Virtualization Component’
Create two sender channels with following parameters:
...
CC_SND_SOAP – Description: Int4 Suite virtualization sender channel for regular messages
CC_SND_SOAP2 – Description: Int4 Suite virtualization sender channel for testing adapter modules
...
Create a receiver channel CC_RCV_SOAP with description ‘Int4 Suite Virtualization Receiver’ with following parameters:
...
Create two Integrated configurations (ICOs):
Comm. Comp: BC_IFTT
Sender IF name: dummy
Sender IF namespace: dummy
Inbound Processing Communication Channel: BC IFTT | CC_SND_SOAP
Receiver Communication Component: BC_IFTT
Receiver IF name: dummy
Receiver IF namespace: dummy
Outbound Processing Communication Channel: BC_IFTT | CC_RCV_SOAP
Comm. Comp: BC_IFTT
Sender IF name: dummy2
Sender IF namespace: dummy2
Inbound Processing Communication Channel: BC IFTT | CC_SND_SOAP2
Receiver Communication Component: BC_IFTT
Receiver IF name: dummy
Receiver IF namespace: dummy
Outbound Processing Communication Channel: BC_IFTT | CC_RCV_SOAP
...
Activate all the objects.
It is possible to name the above objects according to own naming convention. In such case, it is necessary to update default names in the Global Parameters configuration. Read more about it here:https://int4support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IUM/pages/2074083390/Int4+Suite+Configuration#Configure-Global-Parameters-activity Int4 Suite technical installation consists of several steps that require administrative and/or developer access to the main installation system and also to the systems in scope of testing (e.g. SAP PO, SAP CPI, S/4HANA).
The installation process starts from deciding on the installation system and deployment architecture. We recommend the centralized installation on SAP Solution Manager, but for a smaller or constrained environments, decentralized installation might be also a valid option.
Please start by going thru the Int4 Suite installation options page to understand the difference and make an informed decision on the installation architecture.
