Performing Self-Checks

The CBTA self-checks allow you, as the administrator of the SAP Solution Manager system, to verify the installation and configuration of the CBTA client. Self-checks are also useful for SAP support to identify installation and configuration issues quickly. SAP support may ask you to perform self-checks and send them the results.

To ensure that your system is correctly configured for the UI technology supporting the applications you want to test, you can display the front-end recorder type defining the corresponding self-check, to determine the UI Technology (SAP GUI, CRM Web Client, Web Dynpro ABAP, for example) of the self-check.

Prerequisites

You have installed the CBTA back end components. For more information, see Configuring the SAP Solution Manager Back End of CBTA.
You have installed the CBTA client locally. For more information, see SAP Note 1763697.

Procedure

In the Test Management work center, choose Administration CBTA Settings Perform Self-Checks .
Depending on the SAP Logon configuration, the system asks you to accept requests from the SAP Solution Manager system to your CBTA client. Confirm the message.

You go to the Test Management Self-Checks screen. The system connects to the CBTA client, to determine the self-checks available. This dynamic retrieval supports future enhancements and the addition of self-checks via service packs and patches.
Choose the Front-End Component Self-Checks tab page.
If there are no configuration issue, the first self-check, CBTA COM Object Registration, is green, and the version of the client (COM) component) is displayed in the Help column.
If no self-check is available, either the CBTA client is not installed or there is a configuration issue. Do the following:
- Install the CBTA client. For more information, see SAP Note 1763697.
- Repeat the configuration of CBTA. For more information, see Configuring the SAP Solution Manager Back End of CBTA.
Perform the self-checks.
