Hi All,
I am having a requirement from my client. The clients want to know does CBTA supports NWBC (NetWeaver Business Client). My clients uses NWBC as standard-GUI (general user interface) for every SAP-system like ECC, SRM, SCM CRM, SolMan, eWM, BI, HCM, … etc.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
According to below compatibility matrix, I guess it should work for NWBC even though they did not mention here explicitly.
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000043132014E.XLS
Suppose if it does not recognize the NWBC thick client, then you can always test NWBC screen with browser based GUI (internet explorer) which is compatible with CBTA.

Vivek

I have tried HP QTP but not CBTA. In case of QTP we scripted the NWBC using Internet Explorer and it works 100% fine. Also as Jansi mentioned, if you want NWBC thick client to be recognized then you may need additional effort.
One thing confuses me here is, using CBTA you want to test end to end process, so what really needed is the Test Package has run successfully (Failed/Passed) or not. So how does it really matter if one of the test step used NWBC on IE or thick client NWBC ? The end result is what we look for right?

Hello,
I know it's unusual to answer his own questions 😉 However I in a different forum I was quickly pointed towards the answer:
SAP Note 1835958 from 2015-07-28:
CBTA 3.0 : Known Issues
[...]
6. Limitations related to the Browser
[...]
NetWeaver business Client (NWBC) is not supported.
[...]
Original document:

Naturally, this brings up the follow-up question: now is there an SAP tool for testing NWBC? And if not, is there a recommended 3rd party tool? As these questions aren't covered by the thread's headline, I will start a new one.

Hi Mohar, hi all,
this thread hasn't been updated for about a year, but I found this searching for a solution for the very same problem: a client of mine wants to know whether he can use CBTA to automate tests for NWBC.
Now there are contradictory statements from Jansi and Sonal whether CBTA works...
@Mohar: did you give it a try? What has been the outcome?
@all: after a year, is there any update regarding this topic? Is there a clarifying statement from SAP regarding NWBC+CBTA (I haven't found one)? Has there been some further development of NWBC or CBTA that changes the situation?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards
Robert

Hello Mohar,
Good to see you on SCN!
CBTA does not support automation of NW BC. You may consider using UFT 11.53.

Hi,
NWBC is nothing but the web dynpro based sapgui
As per the guide CBTA 3.0 SP2 - Query API for Web Applications | SCN
section 2.1, yes CBTA supports Web dynpro ABAP, web GUI means html gui and all the other UI technologies. But you need additional effort.
Refer the doc.
Thanks
Jansi
