SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PERFTRAC - Messages on Global Performance Analysis

• Message number: 154

• Message text: Specify exactly one additional performance test to be compared

What causes this issue?

You have chosen the eCATT Test + Data Comparison function. To use this,
in addition to specifying a test configuration to be executed, you also
require an existing performance test whose performance data can be used
for the comparison. In this case, you have either not specified a
performance test or two performance tests for the comparison.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Specify exactly one additional performance test for the comparison. You
can do this in one of the fields "1st Performance Test" or "2nd
Performance Test". The field "1st Performance Test" is always filled as
a result. The performance test from the current eCATT test configuration
run is always copied to the "2nd Performance Test" field. The comparison
sequence automatically results from this. The system always displays the
performance key figure differences on the "Comparison Overview" screen
from the point of view of the second performance test against the first.
