You can specify how eCATT reacts to an error in a test.

You can choose from the following:

• V - Termination. Execution continues with the next variant.
• T - Termination. Execution continues with the next test configuration.
• X - Termination of the start process. Execution does not continue.
• S - No termination. Execution continues with the next script command.

When starting a test, you can choose to use a system data container other than the one specified in the test configuration or test script. You can also choose a different target system for the maintenance system.

You can specify a single variant to be executed. If you do not specify a variant, all variants in the test configuration are executed.

If you want the log to be displayed automatically at the end of a test, select Display Log.

If you want the archive flag to be set for the generated log, select Archive.

You can override the TCD mode of test scripts.

You can choose from the following start modes for TCD commands:

• A - Foreground (with synchronous local update).
• E - Error (with synchronous local update).
• N - Background (with synchronous local update).
• X - Background (with asynchronous update).
• Y - Background (with synchronous update (not local)).

For information about database updates, see Programming Database Updates.

The playback modes are:

• N – Optimized performance. Automation calls are placed in the automation queue.
• S – Synchronous GUI control. Automation calls are not queued.

You can choose from the following error modes:

• N – Terminates on any error.
• V – Continue Value. Terminates for most errors but continues if a field value could not be delivered.
• C – Continues after every error.

In the Stop When field, you can select points where playback should pause – for example, at each SAPGUI command. This is for debugging purposes.

You can choose to close generated sessions. In the GUIs Close field, you can choose:

• Close Generated Session After Script. All GUIs will be closed at the end of the execution of the test script.
• Close Generated Session After REF. At the end of each REF command, all sessions opened by the REF will be closed.
• Do Not Close Generated Sessions. This is for when you are interested in the final state of a GUI after the execution of a test script.

You can select from the following start modes:

• N - Normal mode. Runs without debugging or the user interface of the external tool.
• D - Debug mode. Runs with the user interface of the external tool.
• A – Runs with the user interface of the external tool. No debugging.

You can enter the user name and password for the external tool. If you do not enter these here, you will need to enter them the first time a REFEXT or SENDEXT command is called.
