• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT328 - Specify WSDL URL / local file and package ?

  The SAP error message ECATT328 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a test script in eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) where the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) URL or local file is not specified correctly. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or execute a test script that involves web service calls, and the system cannot find the necessary WSDL file to understand the service's interface.
  Cause:
  
  Missing WSDL URL: The WSDL URL is not provided in the eCATT script or configuration.
  Incorrect WSDL URL: The URL specified is incorrect or inaccessible, leading to a failure in fetching the WSDL.
  Local File Not Specified: If you are using a local file instead of a URL, the path to the file may not be specified or the file may not exist.
  Network Issues: If the WSDL is hosted on a remote server, network issues may prevent access to the URL.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the eCATT script may not have the necessary permissions to access the WSDL.
  
  Solution:
  
  Specify WSDL URL: Ensure that you have correctly specified the WSDL URL in your eCATT script. This can be done in the eCATT configuration screen where you define the web service.
  Check URL Accessibility: Verify that the WSDL URL is accessible from the SAP system. You can do this by trying to access the URL from a web browser or using tools like curl or Postman.
  Use Local File: If you prefer to use a local WSDL file, ensure that the file exists in the specified path and that the path is correctly referenced in the eCATT script.
  Network Configuration: If the WSDL is hosted externally, check your network settings and firewall configurations to ensure that the SAP system can reach the external server.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the eCATT script has the necessary authorizations to access the WSDL.
