Figure 210: Selection of DTP variants
You can use standard KATE Validate functionality to create a new DTP variant, add existing variants or add collection of variants from another Test Run.
After selecting the DTP variants you should save the selection 'Save' button (Ctrl + s) for current Test Run.
Create New DTP Variant - (Shift + F1) a dialog is displayed where you can specify the new variant. Please refer to 7.3.1 ('Create New DTP Variant').
Add existing DTP Variant – (Shift + F2) you can view a list of all the existing DTP Variants in the systems. Here you can select the variants to be added to the Test Run.
Add DTP Variants of Run - (Shift + F4) you can choose to add all variants used in another run to this Test Run.
Copy DTP Variants of Run - (Shift + F8) you can choose to add all variants used in another run to this Test Run as copies.
Add variants of Test Case - (Shift + F11) you can choose to add all variants used in existing Test Case to this Test Run.
Copy variants of Test Case - (Shift + F12) you can choose to add all variants used in existing Test Case to this Test Run as copies.
Copy Variants - Please refer to 7.1.147.3.7 ("Copy DTP Variants") section for function details.
Generate tasks for DTP generation - Generates the tasks for all DTP variants in the Test Run for the following step 'Generate DTPs'
Generate DTPs - This step groups the tasks to be executed into multiple background jobs. Each task generates one DTP based on the transformations specified in the DTP variant. However, if you are using a different after image, another variant is specified for the DTP variant as well. This DTP is generated for this variant settings and the same logic is applied.
Generated DTPs are created with these settings:
...
Extraction from – Active Table (Without Archive) – can be changed with KATE Validate settings (see Settings chapter).
Note: You can always modify the generated DTP settings and filters through the standard RSA1 transaction and the generated DTPs are also visible there.
Note: DTPs generated by the KATE Validate tool have their description generated in the same way as in standard DTPs; the only difference is an added prefix to the beginning. This Prefix can be changed in the KATE Validate settings and can be up to 8 characters long. Please refer to Settings chapter.
...
This step is a group task that can be executed using multiple background jobs. Each task executes one generated DTP (If RFC Destination was specified for DTP Variant the DTP load is executed on specified target system).
In KATE Validate the settings for the maximum waiting time can be specified (parameter 'DTP load wait time') for each task. If this time is exceeded (load takes too long) you are informed via the log and should check the status of load manually. It is necessary to wait for all loads to finish before you continue to the next scenario steps.

Here the lookup data testing results are displayed, when DVD Lookup Translator is installed in the system and configured to provide KATE Validate pre and post lookup data, KATE Validate will also create images of the provided data and compares these with the 'Compare before and after images' step.
