Step 5 - Enable Authorizations for Users
Step 6 - Verify Setup Veri cation Process

 
Step 1 - Download the Source Code

4. Create a transaction for the program named ZP_RECORD.

The transaction type should be Program and selection screen (report transaction)
5. Transport program ZPANAYA_RECORD_SCENARIO and the transaction ZP_RECORD to your
QA system
6. Set permission to use the transaction ZP_RECORD for all users who are to run tests with
the player

here

Caution
Panaya Test Player requires that a transaction with the exact hardcoded name
ZP_RECORD be present in the system.
Be sure to create such a transaction and keep the name unchanged.

Step 3 - Enable Compression (Windows Only)

Note

The compression utility de nition is required only for SAP servers running
Windows Only
gzip de nition typically requires SAP Basis permissions

The Scenario Generator supports transmitting the data to Panaya in a compressed format to
improve response times.

To enable the compression on the ABAP side, the compression utility should be de ned as
follows:

1. Download and install gzip from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm.

It is also possible to use WinRAR archiving utilities if already installed on the server.
2. Locate either the gzip.exe or winrar.exe le from the previous step and copy it to the
Windows directory or any other directory in the system path.
3. In SAP, use transaction SM69 to de ne the operating system command called
ZZ_COMPRESS, based on the command zip/WinRAR.

Compression Utility De nition for Version ECC6.0

Step 4 - Set Server Parameters

- sapgui/user_scripting_set_readonly = FALSE
When SAP GUI for Windows is installed together with SAP BC (former NWBC) you should
add the following parameter as well:

Panaya to the safe domains list. Sites on this list do not require proxy or any other security
permission.

Please add *.Panaya.com to your white-list, or to your exceptions lists (e.g. proxy, anti-virus
etc.)

Alternatively, add the following URL's to your white-list:

my.panaya.com or emea.panaya.com

cdn.panaya.com

reports.panaya.com

sso-emea.panaya.com

sso-us.panaya.com

Step 5 - Verify SAP GUI recording and playback is working
