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@panayainc.com.

Prerequisites
Panaya Test Scenario Recorder

Before starting the process, make sure that you have the following privilege: user with
development permission, allowing the creation and execution of programs.

Test Scenario Recorder Running Prerequisite

To upload the recorded scenario, you must be a user in the Panaya application.

Panaya Test Player

The following prerequisites are necessary for the Panaya Test Player:
1. Supported operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 7
2. Internet Explorer version 6.0 and above
3. At least 100MB available in the Windows temp files directory
4. SAP GUI for Windows: release 6.20 and later releases

Installation
The installation process consists of the following steps:

1. Install the recording program and transaction ZP_RECORD.

2. Enable compression (Windows only).
3. Enable GUI scripting.
4. Enable authorizations for users.
5. Install .NET framework.

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.panayainc.com.

2. Enter your login details.

3. Click on the System Setup tab.

2
Panaya Test Management March 2011

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

5. Click on the Test Scenario Recorder link.

3
Panaya Test Management March 2011

6. The ABAP source code is displayed in the text box.

Choose the appropriate source code by clicking the SAP version radio button.

7. Copy the source code displayed on the screen to your SAP system and save it
under the new program name ZPANAYA_SCENARIO_RECORDER as an
executable program.
8. Create transaction ZP_RECORD for program
ZPANAYA_SCENARIO_RECORDER.

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 page 7 for detailed
instructions on how to create an executable program and transaction in an SAP
system.
9. Transport program ZPANAYA_SCENARIO_RECORDER 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. Enable GUI scripting

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

1. Set the system profile parameter sapgui/user_scripting to TRUE. For

detailed information on enabling SAP GUI Scripting, see Appendix D–Enable
GUI Scripting in System Profile on page 12.
2. Enable GUI scripting in the menu in SAPGUI. For additional information on
enabling SAP GUI scripting, see Appendix E–Enable GUI Scripting in SAPGUI on
page 13.

Panaya Test Management March 2011

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 F–Authorizations Required for Running the
Test Scenario Recorder on page 14.

5. Install .NET Framework

.NET Framework version 2.0 or above must be present on the local machine of each
user running the test player. We recommend using .NET Framework version 3.5. 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 3.5.

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@panayainc.com.
