SAP Automation tidbits

Below are tidbits used when you are automating SAP applications.


''' Generic function to verify success message displays in status bar
Public Function SAP_VerifySuccessMsg(objSAPWindowName)
On Error Resume Next
Report_WriteStepHeader("<B> Verify Success Message in the statusbar </B>")
SAPGuiSession("SAPSession").SAPGuiWindow(objSAPWindowName).SAPGuiStatusBar("StatusBar").Sync

strSBarSuccessMsg = SAPGuiSession("SAPSession").SAPGuiWindow(objSAPWindowName).SAPGuiStatusBar("StatusBar").GetROProperty("text")

intTransNum = Trim(Split(Split(strSBarSuccessMsg,"Transaction ")(1)," saved")(0))
Print intTransNum
On Error GoTo 0
SAP_VerifySuccessMsg = intTransNum
End Function
