• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT351 - A new mode was started ... ?

  The SAP error message ECATT351 typically indicates that a new mode has been started in the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) environment. This message can occur when there is an attempt to execute a test script that is already running or when there is a conflict in the execution modes.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Execution: The error may arise if you try to start a new test execution while another test is already running in the same session or environment.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the eCATT test scripts or the test environment.
  Session Management: If the session is not properly managed, it can lead to conflicts when starting new modes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Running Sessions: Ensure that no other eCATT test scripts are currently running. You can check the transaction SE38 or eCATT to see if there are any active sessions.
  Terminate Previous Execution: If a previous execution is still running, you may need to terminate it before starting a new one. You can do this through the transaction SM37 to monitor and manage background jobs.
  Review Test Configuration: Double-check the configuration of your eCATT scripts to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no conflicts in the execution parameters.
  Use Different Sessions: If you need to run multiple tests, consider using different SAP GUI sessions or instances to avoid conflicts.
