Creating SAP eCATT Recording

PREREQUISITES:

  • Customer-named Package ( Y* or Z* ) for holding eCATT recordings or $tmp. 

USE:

eCATT is used to record manual actions performed on the system that must be replicated to reflect the whole business process. The recordings are stored in a separate package and are available for use with Sequence test cases.

PROCEDURE:

  1. Enter transaction SECATT.

  2. Check the System Data radio button and provide a Z name for your system data container.

  3. Enter a title for your new recording and choose the package created in the first step. Switch to the System Data tab.

    IMPORTANT

    If you wish to record a remote system, add your target system name, description, and an RFC or HTTP destination in the System Data tab. If you want to record locally, you can leave the default NONE value for all parameters. 

  4. Enter the name of your new Test Script and press the create icon. 

  5. Fill in the Title, and choose the Application Component.

  6. Click on Pattern, from the Insert Pattern pop-up window set ‘group’ to UI Control and ‘command’ to SAPGUI (record). 

  7. Choose Yes to continue.

  8. eCATT will ask you for a t-code to start the recording. We want to create a new Purchase Order, so this will be the transaction ME21N.
    After entering the valid t-code, press the Start Recording button.

  9. We receive the info that a new recording session has been created. Click Yes to confirm that you want to record this session.

  10. After filling all the required fields of the new Purchase Order, save the newly created document.

  11. Choose Insert GETGUI Command

  12. On the Insert Pattern pop-up window, set ‘group’ to UI Control and ‘command’ to GETGUI. 

  13. Now it will fetch data from the selected part of the screen. Use it to choose the status that has shown in the bottom left corner.

  14. Press the Stop Recording button.

  15. Save the scenario providing the name of the package you have created in the beginning. Your Purchase Order manual creation scenario is complete.
