INTRODUCTION

Panaya Test Management helps customers dramatically reduce the time and energy required for SAP testing by
automating most of the activities.

To benefit from the automated creation and execution of tests, a quick installation procedure is necessary.

This guide will take you through the steps of preparing your SAP system to use Panaya Test Management.

GETTING SUPPORT
The installation process has been designed with simplicity and ease in mind. However, if you encounter any
problem, please contact Panaya support at support@panaya.com.

INSTALLATION

The installation process consists of the following steps:

SERVER SIDE INSTALLATION

The following steps should be performed on any SAP system you will be recording or running scenarios on.

1. Install the recording program and transaction ZP_RECORD

2. Enable compression (Windows only)
3. Set server parameters
4. Enable authorizations for users

CLIENT SIDE INSTALLATION

The following steps should be performed by any SAP users who will be recording or running scenarios.

1. Enable GUI scripting

2. Set SAP Network Settings to High Speed connection
3. Install .NET framework

-3-
SERVER SIDE INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL THE RECORDING PROGRAM AND TRANSACTION ZP_RECORD

The Test Scenario Recorder should be transported to the SAP system in which scenarios will be recorded—
typically the QA system.

Download Panaya Test Scenario Recorder

1. Go to the Panaya Web site at https://my.panaya.com.

2. Enter your login details.
3. Click on the System Setup tab.

4. From the drop-down list, select the desired system.

-4-
5. Click on the Test Scenario Recorder link.

6. The ABAP source code is displayed in the text box. Choose the appropriate source code by clicking the
SAP version radio button.

-5-
 7. Copy the source code displayed on the screen to your SAP system and save it under the new program
name ZPANAYA_RECORD_SCENARIO as an executable program.
8. Create transaction ZP_RECORD for program ZPANAYA_RECORD_SCENARIO. The transaction type
should be “Program and selection screen (report transaction)”.

CAUTION: Panaya Test Player requires that a transaction with the exact hard-
coded name ZP_RECORD be present in the system. Be sure to create such a
transaction and keep the name unchanged.

See Appendix A – How to Install the ABAP program on p.9 for detailed instructions on how to create an
executable program and transaction in an SAP system.

9. Transport program ZPANAYA_RECORD_SCENARIO and the transaction ZP_RECORD to your QA system.

10. Set permission to use the transaction ZP_RECORD for all users who are to run tests with the player.

2. ENABLE COMPRESSION (WINDOWS ONLY)

The Scenario Generator supports transmitting the data to Panaya in compressed format to improve the
response times.

To enable the compression on the ABAP side, the compression utility needs to be defined as follows:

1. Download and install gzip from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm.

2. Locate the gzip.exe file from the previous step and copy it to the Windows directory or any other
directory in the system path.

3. In SAP, use transaction SM69 to define the operating system command called ZZ_COMPRESS, based on
the command gzip.

The compression utility definition is required only for SAP servers running Windows.

For more detailed information, see Appendix B – Compression Utility Definition for Versions 4.6C, Enterprise 4.7
and ECC5.0 and Appendix C – Compression Utility Definition for Version ECC6.0.

Please note that gzip definition typically requires SAP Basis permissions.

3. SET SERVER PARAMETERS

Enable GUI scripting

Panaya Test Management requires SAP GUI scripting to be enabled. Enabling SAP GUI scripting is done as
follows:

Please set the system profile parameters as follows:

 sapgui/user_scripting = TRUE
 sapgui/user_scripting_disable_recording = FALSE
 sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly = FALSE

Change Trace File Settings

Panaya Test Management uses SAP trace files. The Trace file settings must be changed for Panaya Test
Management to work properly.

Please set the system profile parameter as follows:

 rdisp/TRACE_LOGGING = on, 99 m

For detailed information on setting the above server parameters, see Appendix D–Set Server Parameters on
page 14.

4. ENABLE AUTHORIZATIONS FOR USERS

Each user running Panaya’s Test Scenario Recorder must have a set of authorizations within the SAP system as
listed in Appendix E on p.16.

-7-
CLIENT SIDE INSTALLATION

1. ENABLE GUI SCRIPTING

Panaya Test Management requires SAP GUI scripting to be enabled. Enabling SAP GUI scripting is done as
follows:

Enable GUI scripting in the menu in SAPGUI. For additional information on enabling SAP GUI scripting, see
Appendix F on p.18.

2. SET SAP NETWORK SETTINGS TO HIGH SPEED CONNECTION

To assure completeness and accuracy of data recorded please make sure the Network Settings is set to High
Speed Connection for every client machine for every SAP system on which you record or run scenarios.

For more detailed information, see Appendix G on p.19.

3. INSTALL .NET FRAMEWORK

.NET Framework version 3.5 or above must be present on the local machine of each user running the test
player. We recommend using .NET Framework version 4.0. Most computers already have .NET Framework, so
normally no installation is needed.

In case of a problem running the test player installation, please install the .NET Framework from Microsoft .NET
Framework 4.0.

NEXT STEPS
After the Test Scenario Recorder is installed, you can start generating test scenarios for your business processes
by recording usage of interactive transactions.

These test scenarios can later be executed using Panaya Test Player.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact our support team at support@panaya.com.
