The Challenge

Evolving System

A typical SAP environment is dynamic, constantly adapting through custom ABAP developments, configuration updates, and system upgrades.

The Inherent Risk

While vital for business, each adjustment introduces the potential for unforeseen issues that can be expensive and time-consuming to resolve.

The Core Dilemma

How do you balance the need for fast-paced innovation with the imperative of maintaining a stable, reliable SAP landscape?

RTE Workflow

Replay Test Engine provides a step-by-step approach to testing changes:

Instrument Code

Prepare the tested program by adding a single ABAP line — done once per program — that marks key variables for RTE tracking.

Capture Baseline

The tool records the initial state of variables in the program under test, using the real-life business scenarios you provide.

Apply Modifications

Proceed with your ABAP development or system configuration updates.

Evaluate Results

RTE reruns the program with the same scenarios and generates a detailed comparison highlighting field-level differences.

Key Benefits

Stability and Speed

  • Cost Reduction: Detect issues earlier in the process, reducing remediation time and associated expenses.
  • Reliable Releases: Deliver stable, production-ready changes by performing precise and repeatable data comparisons.
  • Accelerated Deployments: Speed up rollouts through automated validation against a trusted testing baseline.

Runs in SAP

  • Data Control: Keep all test records securely inside your SAP system — no external tools, transfers, or interfaces.
  • Central Setup: Install via SAP transport across the entire landscape — no additional desktop software or plugins.
  • Familiar UI: Navigate using standard SAP screens and menus your team already works with.

RTE in Action

Use RTE throughout daily maintenance and critical SAP lifecycle events to ensure consistent behavior and catch regressions early:

Core Capabilities

Select a feature to learn more.

Straightforward Data Capture

Specify key internal variables for monitoring with a single export_data() call. Enable tracking in custom code or standard SAP programs via the Enhancement Framework.

Contextual Data

Add relevant business information (such as document numbers) to the exported data using combine_data() to make analysis of differences easier.

Flexible Comparison Engine

Choose between fast RAW checks, structural Description validation, and detailed iData field-by-field comparisons.

Cross-Check Validation

Compare the tested program against a trusted SAP standard report or a well-established custom program.

Advanced Data Mapping

Adapt to structural data changes with iData. Map fields and filter data to enable reliable comparisons even when data layouts evolve.

Streamlined Lifecycle

Approve the new results with a single click to update your reference baseline. Save complex comparison setups as variants for easy reuse.

RTE Licensing

RTE is offered as a one-time purchase with permanent access to all features — no recurring fees or subscriptions.

The license permits use on one SAP client on a single system. Within this environment, you are entitled to:

For use across multiple SAP systems or clients, discounted multi-license packages are available.
