Use of CATT vs SAP Automation

[Van der Burg, Jeroen JA SSI-GRFE-3]

Hi all,
 
Question: does anyone has experience with the use of SAP automation through
workflow? What are the advantages or disadvantages with regards to the 'old'
way of moving workflow information into the SAP database by integrating CATT
scripts into the workflow?
 
Reason is that I have defined a number of workflow procedures using CATT
scripting to store data captured in ESS forms into SAP. A chap from SAP
advised us to use SAP automation and not CATT for this - without any further
explanation. Before actually changing anything I would be very interested to
hear any real live experiences with SAP automation and ideally a comparison
in functionality, stability and maintenance burden during actual use in a
high volume situation.
 
 
Thanks,
 
 
Jeroen
