- RFC Destination – RFC destination of the Query Variant. When the RFC destination is specified using 'F4' help, this will display the query name values from the specified destination system. RFC with 'F4' help is only available if the dialog RFC connection (does not need to be same as filled one) is available in the system in the specified RFC destination.
- Query name (required) – the technical name of a query. 'F4' help is available for this field.
- Query Variant Description – lets you add a description for the new Query Variant.
- Set query variables (button) –you can specify the filtering values (if any) for a query. For RFC Query Variants there is the possibility to specify the filtering values that are available only if the dialog RFC connection (does not need to be same as filled one) is available in the system to the specified RFC destination and KATE Validate is also installed on the RFC destination system.

If different Query/Bookmark Variants are specified for the after image creation then the following rules apply, in order for outputs to be compared. Both of the compared query/bookmark variants must have exactly same structure of columns/rows to allow KATE Validate to compare them. If the structure of the variants differs, then the correctness of comparison cannot be guaranteed. |

- RFC Destination – RFC Destination of a system on which the bookmarked query is run on. KATE Validate must be installed on the RFC destination system in order to successfully create a RFC enabled Bookmark Variants.
- Bookmark ID (required) – identification for the query bookmark. Bookmarks that were also created with data can also be used here. In such a case, the bookmarked data is not being read from the bookmark; only the query is executed using the bookmark structure information.
- Bookmark Variant Description –to specify the description for a new Query Variant.
- After Image Variant – Query/Bookmark Variant ID that is executed during the creation of after image. This allows you to compare outputs for different queries or even the same queries on different systems.

It is possible to add specified Query Variants to a transport so they can be transferred to another system (with KATE Validate installed). To specify which Query/Bookmark Variants should be transported you need to select these from a list as shown on Figure 130. Options for filtering and sorting in ALV table can be used to select specified Query Variants more easily.
...
It is important to note that Query Variants carry information about the query names and filtering values, but not the query structures themselves; therefore these should be imported only to a system where KATE Validate is installed and where the same queries with the same structure exist.
