Parameterization in an External Tool (SAP Library - eCATT: extended Computer Aided Test Tool (BC-TWB-TST-ECA))

Parameterization in an External Tool

Use

An external tool has two types of parameter – local parameters and parameters that specify the interface to eCATT. The interface parameters are stored separately from the script. They are stored and maintained in the argument container.

The parameters of an external-tool script can only be maintained in the external tool. You can create import and export parameters. These must be of type String.

You use the following functions in the external script to pass arguments:

GetECATTArg(<argname>) gets the argument values.

SetECATTArg(<argname>, <argvalue>) sets the argument values.
