Record an SAP batch input test

With SAP batch input tests, you can generate a load on the server without requiring that each virtual tester run SAP GUI. Typically, you use batch input tests in a schedule mixed with normal SAP performance tests to increase the load on the server.

SAP batch input tests cannot contain verification points and do not produce performance results.

Create SAP batch input tests by recording a batch input transaction that you created in SAP GUI.

Before you can use SAP batch input test, add the SAP Java Connector (JCo) libraries to the workbench.
