Summary:
In every SAP Implementation / Installations one of the major activity is User Administration, which includes user creation, setting initial password, assigning role etc.
For user creation if the user count is too high(say in hundreds/thousands),the traditional su01/su10 process may require more number of man hours.
The objective of this SOP is creating mass user short time with less administrative efforts.
The extended Computer Aided Test Tool ( Tcode : SECATT ) will help us accomplish our goal in very short time .
Goto SECATT transaction code:
In our case SECATT is a set of Test Script (Part-A) & Test Configuration(PART-B).
Test Script: A script contains recorded transaction.
Test Configuration: A test configuration is a persistent data object with a set of references to a test script, although you can execute test scripts alone.
