New Feautures

  • [BT] DVD default authorization implementation - per request default implementation of Datavard Validate authorizations can now be shipped to customers (it is not part of standard release transport). DVD Authorization implementation checks reporting/analysis authorizations of user. User without appropriate authorizations is not able to see data/results of created image. There are two levels of authorization check on InfoProvider level and query level. These authorizations are applied for test cases in following way:
    • Query Test Case - Query then InfoProvider authorization check
    • ListCube, SLO ListCube, DTP, Drill Down - InfoProvider authorization check
  • [BT] System Performance scenarion added to Test Management - can be switched on only under expert setup setting. Performance test scenario allows to create test case, add queries as execution steps, add test case to test plan and run performance test. At this version it's not included in generated test plan report.

  • [BT] Option to run query as different user - user can execute query variant as different user for authorization checks. If no user is specified, current user will be used.
  • [BT] Option to compare sums of keyfigures in Listcube results - functionality allows quickly compare before and after image sums of keyfigures, so user does not need to do manual check. Fields with unequal value will be highlighted red.
  • [TM] Steps selection in scheduling - steps selection allows user to define which test steps will be executed for different test case types in scheduled test plan. When steps selection is not done, all steps of particular test case type are executed. Implemented only for backend test types (Table, Listcube, Report, Query, DTP, DrillDown). Cleaning step in DTP changed to two separated steps Clen up requests and Clean Up DTP.

Improvements

  • [BT] Table vartiants patterns - It is possbile to use patterns when creating table variants (manual creation/generation) for characteristics/key figure fields selection. Patterns are always expanded while overlapping fields are added to characteristics selection as that one has higher priority.
  • [BT] Support of DB views in Table variants - in Table test scenario in variant creation also DB views are now supported, including variant generation and search helps
  • [BT] Coversion Runtime column in results of SLO Listcube - column with overview of before image conversion duration added in results screen of SLO Listcube test scenario to quickly determine long runners
  • [BT] Preselection of filled filters in Listcube variant - when user uses InfoProvider with more than 150 characteristics and in filter preselection chooses some fields for filtering, these fields are then added on top of the selection in dialog and they are shown as selected (checked) when user edits them again
  • [TM] ABAP test case RFC execution - allows to run custom reports on other systems via RFC. RFC destination can be defined in "Detials" screen when creating new ABAP Test Case. When RFC destination is defined it is not supported to display, create, change or delete report variants, variant maintanence has to be done on report source system. Dialog execution not supported for ABAP test cases with defined RFC destination.

Bugs

  • [BT] Row count with own aggregation fixed- When executing table variant with turned on Datavard Validate aggregation row count of image is now correctly calculated from already aggregated rows and not from read rows from DB. Also maximum image size setting value is checked againts this rowcount number. 
  • [BT] Fiscal variant saving - Query filters that use fiscal variant as input filter are now saved correctly.
  • [FT] Check of proper web template bookmark mapping - if mapping of before image tables to after image tables in bookmark is incomplete, execution is not allowed and user is warned about missing mapping by pop-up message.
