• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT626 - Logon dialog is not possible in a batch environment ?

  The SAP error message ECATT626, which states "Logon dialog is not possible in a batch environment," typically occurs when you are trying to execute a test script in a batch mode using eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) and the system is unable to log on due to the nature of the batch processing.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Environment Restrictions: The error arises because the eCATT is trying to initiate a dialog session, which is not allowed in a batch environment. In batch processing, the system does not support interactive logon dialogs.
  Incorrect Configuration: The test script may be configured to require user interaction or dialog-based logon, which is incompatible with batch execution.
  User Authorization: The user executing the batch job may not have the necessary authorizations to run the eCATT scripts in the background.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Background Processing: Ensure that the eCATT script is set up to run in the background. You can do this by using the appropriate transaction codes or settings that allow for background execution.
  Modify the Test Script: Review the test script to ensure it does not require any user interaction. Replace any dialog-based commands with their non-dialog equivalents.
  Check User Authorizations: Verify that the user executing the batch job has the necessary authorizations to run eCATT scripts in the background. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Use a Batch User: If possible, create a dedicated batch user with the necessary permissions and use that user for executing the eCATT scripts in batch mode.
  Review System Settings: Check the system settings related to background processing and ensure that they are configured correctly to allow eCATT execution.
  
  Related Information:
  
  eCATT Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for eCATT for detailed information on how to configure and run tests in batch mode.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to eCATT and batch processing.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes such as SECATT (for eCATT) and SE38 (for executing background jobs) to manage and execute your test scripts effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ECATT626 error and successfully execute your eCATT scripts in a batch environment.
