The integration of external tools with eCATT is implemented using COM to start and stop the external tool, and RFC to exchange script data. The COM communication is initiated by eCATT, but the RFC connection is established by the external tool.

When eCATT starts the external tool, it generates a user and password that the tool can use to log back onto the SAP System to exchange data. This user is assigned the role SAP_ECET, which contains two authorizations for object S_RFC (see section S_RFC in Authorization Objects Used in eCATT Authorization).

When the external tool is closed, eCATT destroys the user.

The generated users have no authorization to start any transactions.

Note

If you start the external tool yourself and want to upload scripts to eCATT, there is no generated user, and you must log onto the SAP System yourself. In this case, you will require the authorizations contained in role SAP_ECET.
