Backend Systems
Backend Systems
Backend systems in an Automation Object specify the SAP backend system (S/4HANA, ECC, or other ABAP-based systems) where to read a new document created by interface processing during test case execution. It also defines where the reference document was posted, serving as the source. The two documents will be compared in the test case results.
The given system line and source and target environment will be translated to the RFC destination in the runtime. Int4 Suite uses this RFC connection to execute dedicated function modules and retrieve data from the system’s database for comparison.

Depending on your testing scenario, both the current and reference system lines can be the same or different. For regression testing, they are typically the same, such as S/4HANA. The testing landscapes, however, may differ, e.g. Test and Production, where the system reads the reference from Production and the current document from Test. For migration scenarios, such as ECC to S/4HANA, the reference would usually be ECC, and the current would be S/4HANA.
Parameter name | Description | Example |
Backend system line for current doc. | This parameter points out the system line where the test interface processing triggered by Int4 Suite will create test document during test case execution. | S/4HANA |
Backend system line for reference doc. | This parameter points out the system where the reference backend document is stored. The value should be a system line described in the landscape configuration. | ECC |
