SAP users use CATT frequently to upload master data or to
make changes to master data records. SAP Consultants and
Abapers tend to use it for creating test data. The
transactions run without user interaction. You can check
system messages and test database changes. All tests are
logged. The CATT records your keystrokes while performing
the actual transaction. You then identify the fields that
you wish to change in that view. Then export this data to a
spreadsheet to populate with the data required. This is
uploaded and executed saving you keying in the data
manually.
To perform CATT, it has to be enabled in your production
environment (your systems administrator should be able to
do this - SCC4). You will also need access to your
development system to create the CATT script.
The process of uploading data with a CATT:
Activate CATT in your client
In transaction code SCC4 - click the change button
Double click on the client number
In the Restriction section, tick Allows CATT processes to
be started.

imported text file data
