SAP CML Batch/Periodic Process Testing-Part 2

March 18, 2009: 2:50 PM
QA sign-off form is on desk of our PM. PM is in meeting. So I drop on desk and left a sticky note, when done. Mean while I’m doing blog. At last we did with Periodic process sign off today. This is second sign off with in 3 week. This sign- off is like part 2 of our periodic process. As I mention in my last post, our daily periodic processes are in Prod.
This sign off is about our monthly processes. We tested again in T3 and Then TX. We are going with one defect with this sign off in prod. Actually this is not defect, hum kind of.

Let me explain it little bit. We have one process which updates those loans that do not have IOA frequency into 1 on condition in SAP CML. If we run this process first time or if we added few loans. That loans need to change, frequency of IOA, then this process work very well, without any hiccup. But thing is when we run this process with any change or run it twice, it cancelled it self. It cancelled itself after showing error message. The error message is no IOA found on loans to change.

So we have 2 problems with one process. One is why the heck it showing error message. We are expecting warning message. Second which is my major concern, and that is why it cancelled itself. Let me mention this is a daily process. The expected results we are expecting are:
A. When we run this process daily, if it get some loan to change, it show the loans number. It works well, when we add new loans?
B. When it rerun again, as this is daily process, if it not found any loans to change, its display warning message that “no loans found to change”. Not error message
C. After rerun or after not getting any loan to change, we expect it should not cancel itself. Why? Right now its independent process. No processes are dependent on it.

When we investigate this issue, we found this. Our old developer has hard coded, in this way, it always show error message instead of warning message. So guys lesson learn old things always haunt.....
