Step 2: Configuring SAP Solution Manager

Settings for SAP Solution Manager configuration: required setup steps to prepare your system for test automation using the SOLMAN_SETUP transaction.

SAP Solution Manager needs three settings before test automation can run: a Studio entry in the ECCUST_ET table, the ECATT_ET_USR communication user, and eCATT enabled per client. The Test Automation Preparation configuration must be complete first.

Prerequisites

To prepare your system for automation ensure the following SAP Solution Manager Configuration steps:

• Completed Test Automation Preparation configuration
  Note:

  SAP Solution Manager Configuration (SOLMAN_SETUP transaction) guides you through the configuration of SAP Solution Manager and assists you in connecting your managed systems to SAP Solution Manager. Its configuration scenarios provide a standard customizing for most of the important basic functions in SAP Solution Manager. You can discuss this with your SAP Administrator.

Register Studio

UiPath Studio must be registered as an external test tool in SAP Solution Manager, through an entry in the ECCUST_ET table, so that SAP can invoke Studio during test case creation.

Steps

1. Open SAP Logon and go to the transaction SE16.

2. Enter ECCUST_ET in the Table Name field.

3. Select Create New Entries.

   

4. Configure the entry details. Ensure you enter the exact COM Program ID: UiPath.SAP.SolutionManager.

   

5. Save your data and exit the transaction SE16.

Result

UiPath Studio is registered as an external test tool in SAP Solution Manager with the COM Program ID UiPath.SAP.SolutionManager.

Set up communication users

For overall communication within the SAP Test Automation Framework, UiPath® requires a service user with the corresponding authorizations. For this purpose, you use ECATT_ET_USR.

• The user allows communication between SAP Solution Manager and UiPath®.
• The user allows communication between UiPath® and System Under Test (SUT).
• The user allows internal communication between SAP Solution Manager and SUT (e.g. for TBOM recording).
  Note:

  ECATT_ET_USR is automatically generated during the Test Automation Preparation procedure.

You can verify if the user exists in the transaction SU01 and check the corresponding authorisations in the Roles tab. No additional settings are required.

Enable ECATT

Each client where testing takes place must allow eCATT to be executed.

Steps

1. Start transaction SCC4.

2. Select the corresponding clients.

3. Go to Details.

4. Under the CATT and eCATT Restrictions section, set eCATT and CATT to Allowed.

5. Select Save to confirm changes.

   

Result

eCATT and CATT are allowed on the selected clients. SAP Solution Manager is ready for SAP test automation with UiPath.
