SAP Tab

SAP Tab represents a set of buttons which let you access specific information and controls.

You can use the Click activity to select a single tab at a time, or you can use the Select Item activity to choose the tab of interest from a list.

Special automation case

Some SAP transactions have slash / in their names, which may lead to identification issues, while using a wildcard in the selector.

For example, in SAP Transaction: /COCKPIT/1, the selector for one of SAP Tab inside the transaction can be:

<sap id='usr/subSUB_MAIN:/COCKPIT/SAPLDISPLAY46:0389/subSUB_HDR:/COCKPIT/SAPLDISPLAY46:04051/tabsG_STRIP_HDR/tabpTAB4' />

The dynamic part of the selector is: SAPLDISPLAY46:0389, where the number 0389 is dynamically changing and does not allow a stable identification.

The structure of the selector is:

For purpose of stable identification, you would need to use wildcard in between hierarchy separators and then all (and only) the slashes between those separators/slashes need to be replaced by ?

Before <sap id='usr/subSUB_MAIN:/COCKPIT/SAPLDISPLAY46:0389/subSUB_HDR:/COCKPIT/SAPLDISPLAY46:04051/tabsG_STRIP_HDR/tabpTAB4' />

After <sap id='usr/subSUB_MAIN:?COCKPIT?SAPLDISPLAY46:038*/subSUB_HDR:/COCKPIT/SAPLDISPLAY46:04051/tabsG_STRIP_HDR/tabpTAB4' />
