Parameter name | Description | Example |
PI: Ignore parent message during TC creation | This flag is used for scenarios with multiple receivers. If you create a test case based on the message that is part of the bigger scenario, then engine will search for the initial message that SAP PI/PO received. | |
|---|---|---|
Message version before processing | A version of the message to be fetched from the SAP PI/PO persistence. Here we specify the version which contains the original message - before being processed by SAP PI/PO. If empty, Global Parameter is used. | Depending on the SAP PI version can be either: numeric: 0 |
Message version after processing | A version of the message to be fetched from the SAP PI/PO persistence. Here we specify the version which contains after mapping version of the message - already processed by SAP PI/PO. If empty, Global Parameter is used. | Depending on the SAP PI version can be either: numeric: -1 |
Read Successor Message(s) based on Reference ID | Collect output messages from subsequent ICOs based on Reference ID instead of parent relation |
|
Ignore messages from interfaces | Used when ‘Read Successor Message(s) based on Reference ID’ parameter is set to exclude messages from specified interfaces from saving | |
Output Automation Object | Automation Object(s) used to read the output payloads. This parameter allows for testing scenarios where message is injected into one ICO and results are compared on a different one. | |
Child Test Case Automation Object | Automation Object(s) used to link and create child test cases. This parameter allows for automatic creation of linked outbound test cases during save. Following Automation Object types can be used as child: 5 PI E2E Outbound | |
PI: Allows Receiver interface be same as Sender interface | For pass-through interfaces In particular scenarios, sender and receiver interfaces may be the same, for instance, in the EDIFACT scenario. If this parameter is not provided and the sender is the same as the receiver interface, no test case would be created for such messages, or during execution, an error may occur. | X |

Parameter name | Description | Example |
Inject using PIT | This flag will use SAP PIT WS as a message injector (SAP PO > 7.5 SP14) for this automation object. This flag can be set up also globally for whole environment. | |
|---|---|---|
HTTP RFC Destination | Alternative RFC Connection where the REST message should be sent. If this parameter is populated, then the message will be sent there alternative RFC. | SAPSYS1_RFC |
PI: Asynchronous: Direct HTTP operation | If the Direct HTTP URL is provided, here you can specify the HTTP operation (for asynchronous REST testing). | POST |
PI: Asynchronous: Direct HTTP URL | Direct endpoint to tested interface (asynchronous). Fulfillment of this parameter is a mandatory condition for testing asynchronous REST/JSON interfaces. | /RESTAdapter/webshop/material_async |
PI: Reference Sender Channel Name | Name of the sender channel to be used as a reference. | CC_SOAP_SENDER |
PI: Reference Sender Channel BC | Business Component of the sender channel to be used as a reference. | BC_SENDER |
PI: Reference Sender Channel Party | Party of the sender channel to be used as a reference. | SENDER_PARTY |
Flag for Flat File interfaces | Used to mark interface input as Flat File | |
Flat File Line Separator | The character used for end-of-line determination in Flat File messages: for example, CLRF - Unix. The parameter is used to display the comparison report better and display the reference and new message line by line. "Carriage Return and New line" character should be stored as CRLF "Line Feed" should be stored as LF (Unix based files) Separator can be also specified using hexadecimal representation of Numeric Character Reference (NCR). There is no default value, so the parameter is obligatory for CSV files CLRF
NCR Use || to enter multiple alternative separators e.g. CLRF||' | CLRF
NCR Example: |
Line Separator Escape Character | Escape character for line separator. Used to avoid line breaks in case separator is used in the file content. Source: Split: | |
Flat Files Compare with payload validations applied | If this checkbox is checked, Payload Validation rules are applied before files comparison and the match content is replaced by the placeholders. This can in some cases result in better flat file comparison results, especially in case of many missing lines. | |
Stop Receiver Processing | Stops Receiver Processing when using PIT as a message injector. | |
Do not fail TC if DB reference not found | This flag determines if in the situation when DB validation for reference messages have not been found whether it should be treated as Error or Successful message. | Checked or 'X' - if reference document is not found test case will not be failed Unchecked or '' - if reference document is not found test case will be failed (default setting) |
...
Parameter name | Description | Example |
PI: Message Search - Interface Name | Used to specify the Interface Name within which the Message Selector should search for the version of the message. This parameter is only to be entered if Interface Name visible in the Message Monitor main screen differs from the Interface Name used to create the object definition. | If we only have receiver interfaces visible in the message monitor, then use the receiver name specified in the ICO of the sender interface specified in the automation object used. |
|---|---|---|
PI: Message Search - Namespace | Used to specify the Interface Namespace within which the Message Selector should search for the version of the message. This parameter is only to be entered if Interface Namespace visible in the Message Monitor main screen differs from the Interface Namespace we have used to create the object definition. | The same condition as the previous parameter but then for the namespace of the receiver interface |

Backend Systems
...
Parameter name | Description | Example |
Backend system line for current doc. | This parameter points out the system where the reference backend document is stored. The value should be a system line described in the landscape configuration. Note: If Backend system line for the current doc. has the same value as the Backend system line for the reference doc. (for instance, both are S4/HANA) then the RFC connection between the systems will be maintained both in: a) the original environment of the reference document (for instance, production system) b) the environment where the current test case execution takes place (for instance, development system) If Backend system line for the current doc. is different than the Backend system line for the reference doc. then, the RFC connection will be maintained only in the environment of the current execution (for instance, development system), but for both system lines (like ECC and S4HANA) | ECC SAP_ERP |
|---|---|---|
Backend system line for reference doc. | This parameter points out the system line where Int4 Suite should create test documents during test case execution. In most cases, reference documents and documents created during current test execution are stored in the same system line. However, suppose Int4 Suite is used in a migration scenario (for example, migration from ECC to S4/HANA). In that case, the documents might be created in the new system and then compared with the references from the old system. The value should be a system line described in the landscape configuration. Note: If Backend system line for the current doc. has the same value as the Backend system line for the reference doc. (for instance, both are S4/HANA) then the RFC connection between the systems will be maintained both in: a) the original environment of the reference document (for instance, production system) b) the environment where the current test case execution takes place (for instance, development system) If Backend system line for the current doc. is different than the Backend system line for the reference doc. then, the RFC connection will be maintained only in the environment of the current execution (for instance, development system), but for both system lines (like ECC and S4HANA) | S4HANA |

Parameter name | Description | Example |
Database validation ruleset | Reference database validation ruleset object name. Database validation ruleset specify how related backend validation should be performed. Specify tables, fields and join conditions for the backend validation. Buttons allow navigation to the chosen database validation ruleset and creation of a new database validation ruleset | GENERIC_SO |
|---|
Dynamic Columns
...
Persist reference DB Data | When switched on, DB reference data will be fetched from backend system during test case creation. Otherwise, it will be fetched during test case execution. |
Dynamic Columns
...
Dynamic Column Set field allows to assign previously defined set to an Automation Object. A dynamic column set defines additional, custom columns in the result list of message selector.

Parameter name | Description | Example | ||
Description | Free text for the exception rule | Field1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Expression Type | Expression type. Available options:
This field is optional for all interfaces where there is a single type of output. However, for interfaces that output might be both XML and flat file, it is mandatory to specify the expression type. | XPath | ||
Expression | Path pointing to the field/node where the exception should be applied. | //ORDER/DATE/text() (XPATH expression) or START_TAG(BGM+220+)&&END_TAG(+)&& (Flat file expression) or $.order.date (JSONPath expression) REGEX(BGM\+220\+(.*)\+) (REGEX expression) | ||
Rule | Rule to be applied to the field. | |||
| Marks the compared fields with yellow color as a "warning". | |||
| In case compared values are different Int4 Suite compares them with specified variable. If reference/current value pair from comparison matches variable values result is marked as "warning". Variable name used for checking the values has to be specified in the Processing Parameter column. | |||
| In case compared values are different Int4 Suite compares them with specified values in the Mapping Object. If reference/current value pair from comparison matches mapping values result is marked as "warning". Mapping Object name used for checking the values has to be specified in the Processing Parameter column. | |||
| Even if it is different in the content, it is not highlighted. | |||
| The difference will be highlighted green in the test report.
