Record the Script - Automate_Studio - Latest

Choose a creation method and log on to SAP

Always record and test your script in a non-production SAP system. For the highest-quality recording, click only the SAP fields you want to include in the script. If necessary, practice a few times in SAP Fiori® application before you start to record in Studio. If you want to create a loop, be sure to type the first line item in the correct location for recording that SAP Fiori® app, and then click Insert Row, Create item, or Page down. It's good to record two line items, so that you can see the repeatable pattern.

1. Click the File tab, and then click New.
2. Click Fiori, and click Recording a Fiori App.
3. On the Studio logon screen:
   1. The first time you use Studio, Choose Fiori System and SAP Shuttle Logon wizard will open. Click Add System and enter the following details:
      • Fiori System - Add System or select from drop down.
      • Browser - Select checkbox in case of SAML based authentication.
      • Launchpad address
      • Client
      • User name
      • Password

      Click OK.
   2. Click SAP system and select from drop down. Enter the required details.
   3. Click Advanced Fiori Sign In. In the SAP Shuttle Logon box, choose your SAP system, and then type your client number, user name, and password. You may opt to select Save as auto logon credentials.
   4. Click Save Auto Logon.

Record the script

Once you Log on to SAP, the SAP Fiori® System name, SAP user, and Status is displayed.

1. From the Data type dropdown menu, select the required data type - Web-Form (XML), or Excel Worksheet, or SAP API (JSON) .
2. To use an existing data file for your script, check the I have an existing data file box, and then click the folder icon next to the Data file box and browse to the file that you want to use.
   Note: If the data file contains any PivotTables, 3-D charts, or custom XML, the file will open in read-only mode. To keep PivotTables and other elements in the file, open it in Excel and run it in Background Mode.
3. To automatically map the fields to the data file, check the Auto map when recording is finished box.
4. Choose the Recording Level as either Standard or Basic. The default Recording Level is Standard.
   Tip: Standard Recording mode is included in Automate Studio v25.1 and later versions. It offers more advanced features than the Basic Recording mode.
5. If necessary, select Launch OData Dialog to display the fields captured during recording, organized in a hierarchy based on the OData metadata of the corresponding Fiori® app.
   Note: Launch OData Dialog is available only when the recording mode is set to Standard. For more details on OData, refer to OData.
6. Click Start Recording.
7. In the Fiori Recording Dialog window, select the Fiori® app and enter values in the fields that you want to include in the script.
   Note:

   • Click Discard Recording, to stop the recording without finishing the script.
   • Click Regenerate to restart the recording process from the beginning, replacing the current recording.
   • If a user has logged into the SAP Fiori® system previously using the browser, automatic login might occur due to stored cookies. Delete the cookies from the DesignTimeCookies folder if credentials are not requested. You can find this folder at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\WinShuttle\DesignTimeCookies.
8. When you have finished entering data, click the Post or Save on the SAP Fiori® app and then close the Fiori Recording Dialog window. Use entry with fewer line items while recording.

For the next step, see Map the fields.

Handling Start and End Date fields for activity type hierarchy

Error appears if the user leaves Incoterm location blank in Manage Sales Order app during recording. These errors are still shown in the logs even if the error is fixed.

Record script that includes a loop

If you are recording a script that includes multiple line items for one set of header fields, follow the steps from the above section to record the script, and then do the following:

1. Type information into the fields that will become the header, and then press Enter.
2. Enter the data for the line item.
3. Click the SAP Create Item or Insert Row button.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 to enter the second line item. This creates a visible pattern that you can find in the Mapper. After you add the loop, you will disable the extra line item's rows in the Mapper.

You will add the loop when you map the fields.
