• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT302 - Original document exists in a different system than the eCATT object ?

  The SAP error message ECATT302 indicates that there is a mismatch between the system where the original document (such as a test script or configuration) exists and the system where the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) object is being executed. This typically occurs when you are trying to run a test script that references a document (like a test configuration or a test script) that is stored in a different SAP system than the one you are currently working in.
  Cause:
  
  Cross-System References: The eCATT object is trying to access a document that is not available in the current system. This can happen if the test script was created in one SAP system (e.g., Development) and you are trying to execute it in another (e.g., Quality or Production).
  Transport Issues: The original document may not have been transported correctly to the target system.
  Configuration Issues: The eCATT configuration may not be set up to point to the correct system or may not have the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Consistency: Ensure that the original document exists in the same system where you are trying to execute the eCATT object. If it is missing, you may need to transport it from the source system to the target system.
  Transport the Document: If the original document is in a different system, you can create a transport request to move it to the current system. This typically involves:
  
  Identifying the original document in the source system.
  Creating a transport request for that document.
  Importing the transport request into the target system.
  
  
  Modify eCATT Configuration: If the eCATT object is meant to run in a different system, you may need to adjust the configuration settings to point to the correct system where the original document resides.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the original document in the system where it exists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  eCATT Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation on eCATT for detailed information on how to manage test scripts and configurations.
  Transport Management: Familiarize yourself with the SAP Transport Management System (TMS) to understand how to transport objects between systems.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to eCATT and system configurations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ECATT302 error and successfully execute your eCATT tests.
