• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_TDW004 - There are no favorite TDCs. Search option set to 'By Attributes' ?

  The SAP error message ECATT_TDW004 indicates that there are no favorite Test Data Containers (TDCs) available for the user, and the search option is set to 'By Attributes'. This typically occurs in the context of using the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) functionality in SAP, which is used for automated testing.
  Cause:
  
  No Favorite TDCs: The user has not marked any Test Data Containers as favorites, or there are no TDCs available in the system that meet the search criteria.
  Search Criteria: The search option is set to 'By Attributes', which may not match any existing TDCs if the attributes are not correctly defined or if there are no TDCs that fit the criteria.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the available TDCs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existing TDCs:
  
  Navigate to the eCATT transaction (e.g., SECATT).
  Use the search functionality to look for available TDCs without filtering by attributes to see if any exist.
  
  
  
  Mark TDCs as Favorites:
  
  If you find TDCs that you frequently use, you can mark them as favorites for easier access in the future.
  
  
  
  Adjust Search Criteria:
  
  Change the search option from 'By Attributes' to a broader search option (like 'All') to see if any TDCs are available.
  Ensure that the attributes you are searching for are correctly defined and match the TDCs you expect to find.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access the TDCs. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure you have the appropriate roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Create New TDCs:
  
  If no TDCs are available, consider creating new Test Data Containers that meet your testing needs.
