SAP eCATT使用详解

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 07:05:09 +0000

具体图片请见附件eCATT_inDetail.rar

由于CATT工具在新的SAP release中，已经不是很适用，我做了一个文档来讲述eCATT的使用

包括：

eCATT概览
eCATT测试的system landscape：system container
测试用例的核心: test script
这里面会涉及到普通的测试命令编写以及用TCD SAPGUI方式录制事务进行测试。我们可以利用这种方式进行数据量不大的数据传输工作
可重用的测试基础: test data container
测试的组织工具: test configuration

由于时间仓促，难免有错误，而且如ABAP OBJECT和WEBDYNPRO这种不是很常用的测试想定并没涉及。

[收藏]Adding text to the SAP logon/login screen

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:09:31 +0000

Writing text to the SAP logon screen. This is very handy for identifying which SAP system the user is about to log onto, especially non production boxes. You can also warn them here of pending changes, updates or outages. Because it is up while they are typing in their user id and password, users can't claim they missed the system message.

SAP icons like the stop sign and warning signs can also be displayed.

Details can be found in OSS note #205487.

Here are the details :-

Go to Transaction SE61 and select the document 'General text' (selection via F4 help), and create a text with the name ZLOGIN_SCREEN_INFO in the language defined with profile parameter zcsa/system_language.

If the text does not exist in the system language, no output is made.

Note that there is space for 16 lines with 45 fixed-font characters each or for approximately 60 proportional space font characters on the logon screen.

Title lines (can be recognized by means of format keys starting with a 'U') are highlighted in the display.

You may also output icons at the beginning of lines by using an icon code (for example, @1D@ for the STOP icon). You can get a list of icon codes from Report RSTXICON. Pay attention to the codes with two '@' symbols displayed by the report. You cannot include text symbols. The 'include indicator' cannot be used for this function. SUBHINT here.

These can be used on system messages as well.

[收藏]What is WBS element?

Fri, 02 May 2008 09:39:36 +0100

1) What is WBS element?
2) What is the Tcode to get to that screen?
3) What is the need and pupose of WBS element?
4) Do we happen to work on Functional module during our implementaion project?
5) In what scenario/situation we will be working on WBS?

WBS is nothing but Work Breakdown Structure. It is mainly used in Project System (PS) module. Tcode : CJ20N

For any project defined we must have atleast one WBS. Within this WBS we can have networks. Networks are nothing but the series of activities. Material are used to perform the activities.

To explain in detail just consider one example:

Govt of india wants to have Roads to be build through out the india. So Project can be defined in sap as "Connectivity".

WBS can be roads within different states like Roads for Gujarat, Karnataka etc.. i.e. WBS Gujarat, WBS Karnataka etc.

We can define different networks for these WBS like Road Between Ahmedabad to Surat or Between Bangalore to Belgham.

For this network we can have many activities like Land selection, Land Preparation, Road Building, Final finishing etc etc.

Hemal's example was a good example. Project Systems comes into play only when the industry's business is based on projects like... Construction companies, Engineer to Order scenarios. You may not see anyone using PS module for retail business. As Hemal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into WBS elements. You can use the TC CJ20N to create the project and the WBS elements. Each WBS may have mutiple Networks associated and each Network may have multiple Network Activities as explained in the example by Hemal.

On the Sales Order, if your client is implementing PS module, you may have to attach the Sales Order to the WBS element it belongs to. WBS element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. In the example, WBS Gujurat will tell you how many Sales Orders were created for the Gujurat sector, howmuch was spent on raw materials, what's the currect stock ([roject stock) available. How many Production Orders have been confirmed and howmany of them are getting confrmed in the future. How many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. How many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished.

So as you can see, PS is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like FI/CO, SD, MM, PP in this example. You can have cost centers and work centers defined. You can also have profit centers assigned at the plant level and get reports on varius selection criteria.

In a complete cycle of PS, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm/release the WBS/activities as per requirement, you execute the project and you close it.

One cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. Everything is accountable here and every dime is counted and at the end you know howmuch did you spend or make on each sector (WBS). Dont get confused with the term sector here... I am using it just for the explaination purposes.

In one typical example, the company I was working with until not too long ago, had Deliveries from the Project (TC: CNS0). We never used VL01N. We used CNS0 to create a delivery and then used VL02N for confirming the picking quantity for the already created delivery document.

I hope this should help you at least a bit. I'm not a PS consultant so I may not know a whole lot but trying going to CJ20N and you will see a lot yourself.

PS concultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.

[收藏]SAP对TCODE权限检查过程

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:39:53 +0000

When initiating a transaction, a system program performs a series of checks to ensure the user is authorized.
1. The program checks whether the transaction code exists in table TSTC.
2. The program checks whether the transaction code is locked by the administrator (transaction code SM01).
3. The program checks whether the user has the authority to start the transaction. Authorization object S_TCODE (transaction start) contains the authorization field TCD (transaction code). The user must have the appropriate authorization for the transaction code to be started (for example, FK01, Create Vendor).
4. The program checks whether an authorization object is assigned to the transaction code. If this is the case, the program checks whether the user has an authorization for this authorization object. The transaction code/authorization object assignment is stored in table TSTCA.
Note: An SAP program controls steps 1 through 4. It displays an automatic message to the user if an authorization attempt fails in the step.
5. The system performs authorization checks in the ABAP program using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.

Retrive auth object related to a specific TCODE

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:21:20 +0000

How can we Retrive the auth object which is related a specific TCODE?
As far as now, i got three ways:
1. TCODE: ST01, trace the authorization
2. TCODE: SU24
3. From the table USOBT(Relation transaction > authorization object)

table TSTCA(Values for transaction code authorizations)
