How to Use the SAP SHDB Recorder

What is SHDB?
SHDB is a batch input transaction recorder. This application is used to record transactions and screens as users enter them. It has a playback feature that executes the recording in the foreground. It allows test data to be created and uploaded.

How will it help me?

This tool is available in SAP and requires no special authorizations to be setup. A functional user can kickoff a recording behind the scenes while walking through a script with you - which you can then playback at your discretion.

How do I use it?

Execute SAP transaction SHDB Click the New Recording button.

Limitations
The SHDB app has difficulty recognizing any of the new SAP Enjoy transactions. These are denoted with the letter N (i.e. ME21N, ME54N). As a workaround, you can use the traditional Tcode if its available (i.e. ME21, ME54).
