Searching for SAP TestObjects

With Rational® Functional Tester, you can locate one or more SAP TestObjects matching a specified search criteria, even without using the Object Map.

Rational® Functional Tester supports a RootTestObject class to represent a global view of the software under test. To enable the SAP application for testing, you invoke the enableForTesting method on the RootTestObject class. To search globally, you invoke the find method on the RootTestObject class. Valid values for the subitem, which is the first argument of the find method, include atProperty, atChild, atDescendant, and atList. There are special properties that apply to the RootTestObject.find, including the .processName, .processID, and .domain properties. You can use any one of these subitems and properties. For example, to search for the SAP domain, you can use the atChild subitem with the .domain property set to SAP.

After the top level SAP Test Object is found and returned, you can use that object to find various objects of SAP GUI runtime hierarchy. For example:

• You can obtain the SAPGuiApplicationTestObject class by invoking the GetApplication method on the SAPTopLevelTestObject class.
• You can obtain the SAPGuiConnectionTestObject class by invoking the GetProperty("Connections") method on the SAPGuiApplicationTestObject class.
• You can obtain the SAPGuiSessionTestObject class by invoking the GetProperty("Sessions") method on the SAPGuiConnectionTestObject class.
• You can obtain the SAP's active window by invoking the GetProperty("ActiveWindow") method on the SAPGuiSessionTestObject class.

Once you have the active window object, you can use the GetChildren method on the main window test object to find and interact with various objects on GuiMainWindow method.

Listed below is an example on how you can perform user interactions with objects in the SAP application. This sample code does these actions:

1. Enables the SAP application for testing
2. Returns the SAP test object representing the window
3. Uses this object to find the Create Role button whose button name property is set to btn[48] on the SAP toolbar
4. Clicks the Create Role button

Example:

If the SAP application is already enabled, then you do not need to enable the SAP application explicitly for testing. Instead, you can use the following code to find the enabled SAP application.

DomainTestObject domains[] = getDomains();
	for  (int i =0; i < domains.length; i ++)
	{
		DomainTestObject domain = domains[i];
		String name = (String)domain.getName();
		if (name.compareTo("SAP") == 0)
		{
			// Returns all top-level test objects in the SAP domain
			TestObject[] sapApps = domains[i].getTopObjects();
				
			// Perform user interactions with the SAP objects
		}
