Uploading with Simultaneous Generation of New eCATT Objects

Use

This function enables you to upload a Web service test scenario as an XML file, while at the same time creating a test script and, if required, the corresponding test configuration.

Before uploading, you can specify how existing parameterization is to be handled. You can also select which import and export parameters are to be generated.

Once processing has been completed successfully, the existing WEBSERVICE command interface is changed according to the selection criteria. All new parameters are listed as a comment after the WEBSERVICE command in the eCATT script editor.

Prerequisites

Familiarize yourself with the rules for creating parameters before starting the upload.

To upload a Web service test scenario and, at the same time, create new eCATT objects (test script and test configuration), proceed as follows:

  1. Call transaction SECATT, enter the name of the test script you want to create or overwrite, and choose Start of the navigation pathECATT Object Next navigation step Additional Functions Next navigation step Upload Web Service Test Scenario DataEnd of the navigation path.

Additional fields appear on the screen, where you enter the name and title of the test configuration.

After execution, the log is displayed immediately in the eCATT script editor as commented text. It is structured as follows:

  • The first rows contain administrative information: upload time, user, file path.

  • Below this, the data record table from point 3 is displayed in simplified form.

    You can use this to check which selections you made before execution.

  • Below this, any error messages are displayed for each data record.

  • At the bottom, all new parameters are listed.

You can also find the new parameters in the XML structure of each Web service command interface.
