How to know, a transaction is having Active X controls

[Former Member]

Hi all,

While eCATT recording, we use SAPGUI recording if a transaction have Active X controls, if it is a ordinary transaction we use TCD recording,

So, how to know that a transaction is having Actvie X controls.?

Hi Chandra Shekhar,

I cannot provide you with a standard definition, differentiating Standard/Normal transactions to Transactions with Active X Controls, however I could try to give you some instances how you could differentiate.

Transactions dependeing on

ALV Grids,

Active Controls - Some Radio buttons etc

Tree strucures

Selecting Options using Right click of the mouse.

These things would be very tough/almost impossible to handle with TCD, such cases you use a SAPGUI and rest you could use TCD.

Hope this helps..

Hello,

it is quite difficult from looking at the screen to find out if an ActiveX control is used.

If you enable tracing (see note 305363) and activate "Automation", the indication that ActiveXes are use is if you find lines like CALL METHOD "CreateObject" with parameter #1 like "SAPGUI.somethingCTRL.1".

When you do not see such traces (make a search for "CreateObject" in the tracefile), there should be no ActiveX involved.
