• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_TDW069 - TDC parameter &1 does not have the same type as TC parameter &2 ?

  The SAP error message ECATT_TDW069 indicates a type mismatch between two parameters in an eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) test script. Specifically, it means that the TDC (Test Data Container) parameter and the TC (Test Case) parameter are expected to be of the same data type, but they are not.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  The data type defined for a parameter in the Test Data Container (TDC) does not match the data type defined for the corresponding parameter in the Test Case (TC).
  There may be a mismatch in the expected format (e.g., string vs. integer) or length of the parameters.
  Changes were made to the TDC or TC after they were initially linked, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Parameter Definitions:
  
  Open the Test Data Container (TDC) and the Test Case (TC) in the eCATT workbench.
  Verify the data types of the parameters in both the TDC and TC. Ensure that they match exactly.
  
  
  
  Modify Data Types:
  
  If you find a mismatch, modify the data type of either the TDC parameter or the TC parameter to ensure they are the same.
  Common data types include string, integer, float, etc. Make sure to choose the appropriate type based on the expected input.
  
  
  
  Review Parameter Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the parameters are correctly mapped in the eCATT script. Check that the parameter names and their corresponding values are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and re-run the eCATT test to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct data types or how to modify them, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to eCATT.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  eCATT: Extended Computer Aided Test Tool is a tool used for automated testing in SAP environments.
