• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT395 - Test configuration &1 is still being used in other test objects ?

  The SAP error message ECATT395 indicates that a test configuration you are trying to delete or modify is still being referenced by other test objects in the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) framework. This can happen when you have created test configurations that are linked to multiple test scripts or test cases, and you attempt to change or remove one of those configurations without first addressing its dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Dependencies: The test configuration is still being used by one or more test scripts or test cases.
  Active References: There are active references to the test configuration in other eCATT objects, preventing its modification or deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use the eCATT transaction (e.g., SECATT) to find out which test scripts or test cases are using the test configuration.
  You can check the "Test Configuration" tab in the eCATT transaction to see the list of test scripts that reference the configuration.
  
  
  
  Remove or Update References:
  
  Once you have identified the dependent test scripts, you can either:
  
  Modify those test scripts to remove the dependency on the test configuration.
  Update the test scripts to use a different test configuration if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify the Test Configuration:
  
  After ensuring that no other test objects are using the test configuration, you can proceed to delete or modify it as needed.
  
  
  
  Check for Inactive References:
  
  If you have made changes to the test scripts, ensure that they are saved and activated before attempting to modify or delete the test configuration again.
