Before we begin recording a transaction, let’s launch Process Runner and initiate the process to create a new recording.
To record a Transaction Process file
1. Find Process Runner icon on your desktop and start the application.
2. Select File > New Process > New Transaction (from the grid icons) to record a new transaction.
3. Execute and record transaction in SAP
In this step we will show Process Runner how to execute SAP transaction. This is the most important step in whole process.
Process Runner asks you to actually execute a sample transaction in SAP. As you execute a sample transaction, Process Runner records each screen you go to and each field you change. It also captures actual data you enter into the SAP transaction. This all happens in your familiar SAP GUI. This process is called recording.
Once recording is complete in SAP GUI, you will be brought back to Process Runner. Recording information will finally be saved in Process Runner file so you can use that later on. Transaction recording file has an extension of .itf (Innowera Transaction File). Later on you can use Process Runner’s advance Mapper to connect recorded SAP fields and screens with Excel columns and cell.
Let’s continue with our example. After you click on “New”, Process Runner will present you with “New Process” wizard.
