Automate

Hello Everyone, 

I am looking for tips or suggestions on capturing a popup with Automate Studio that doesn't seem to want to be captured. When we create materials in the GUI with the MM01 transaction, upon entering the Classification tab we are prompted with this popup to select a Class Type:

The trouble we are having is that our recordings with Automate Studio are not capturing this popup at all and therefore MM01 scripts throw an error. Has anyone else run into this issue, or does anyone have suggestions on how to work through this?

Thanks in advance! 

Hi Samuel

For me, when I add a classification view, I see the pop-up. It's unusual not to see it while recording, but each system has different settings and defaults.

Are you seeing something like this instead?

If so, click the Swap button next to Class Type to swap to another class type

then see the pop-up.

I typically click the filter icon, enter the class type and then select the one match. 

In a script it looks something like this in Expert mode:

And it will only pop-up for the first material.  After that, the GUI assumes you are going to use the same class type for the next one. So you would put an IF statement around the section that deals with the pop-up - OR - you can force it each time by clicking the switch class type button.

You can either record it that way, or paste that section into your script that doesn't have the pop-up.

Hope that helps.

Best Regards,

Sigrid

Hi Samuel,

Can you try to manually insert the screens that Sigrid showed in her recording? I haven't had your particular issue, but I've had times where I had to manually insert popup screens, especially when the data didn't prompt the popup in Dev/QA during my recording, but it does in our Production environment.
