You can import batch input transactions that were recorded
from the SAP GUI into an SAP batch input test. A batch input test
can contain multiple batch input transactions.
Before you begin
You can add batch input transactions only to a batch input
test, not to a regular SAP performance test. First create a new batch
input test.
Batch input tests access the SAP R/3 server at a
low level, bypassing the SAP GUI interface, and therefore cannot contain
any verification points or SAP GUI elements. Their main purpose is
to simulate a load on the server when added to a test schedule that
already contains SAP performance tests. Only the SAP performance tests
provide accurate SAP application performance measurement.
Procedure
To add an SAP batch input transaction to a batch input
test:
- Open the batch input test in the test editor.
- In the Test Contents area of the
test editor, right-click the test node, and click . Placing the batch input transaction inside
a transaction is not mandatory, but it is a good practice, because
the performance report shows the results for each transaction separately.
- Right-click the transaction and click . This opens the SAP Batch
Input File Selection window.
- Select a batch input transaction file that was recorded
with the SAP GUI batch input recorder, and then click Open.
What to do next
After creating elements, you can use the test editor to change
values. You can also replace values with a datapool variable or a
reference. You can also place the batch input transaction inside a
loop to make it repeat several times during the test.
