• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_TDW041 - Select equal no. of variants from TDC and TC to perform action ?

  The SAP error message ECATT_TDW041 indicates that there is a mismatch in the number of variants selected from the Test Data Container (TDC) and the Test Configuration (TC) when using the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) functionality. This error typically occurs when you are trying to execute a test script that requires a specific number of data variants to be selected from both the TDC and TC, but the counts do not match.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Variants: The primary cause of this error is that the number of variants selected from the TDC does not equal the number of variants selected from the TC. For example, if you have selected 5 variants from the TDC but only 3 from the TC, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the TDC or TC that lead to an incorrect number of variants being available or selected.
  Test Script Design: The test script may be designed in such a way that it expects a specific number of variants to be present in both the TDC and TC.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Variant Selection: Ensure that the number of variants selected from the TDC matches the number of variants selected from the TC. You can do this by reviewing the selections in the eCATT transaction.
  Adjust Test Configuration: If necessary, adjust the test configuration to include the same number of variants as in the TDC. This may involve adding or removing variants in either the TDC or TC.
  Review Test Script: Check the design of your test script to ensure that it is set up correctly to handle the number of variants you are working with. Make sure that the script logic aligns with the data being provided.
  Recreate TDC/TC: If the issue persists, consider recreating the TDC or TC to ensure that there are no underlying issues with the data containers.
