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.
Before you begin
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, you must add the
SAP Java™ Connector (JCo) libraries
to the workbench. See Configuring the environment for batch input tests.
