SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5K - HR: Messages for Canada

• Message number: 313

• Message text: Test run successfully completed; database has not changed

What causes this issue?

The test run you specified has been completed successfully. Because you
instructed the Magnetic Media Utility to perform a test run, the
database has not changed.
<ZH>Status code 22</> indicates that a magnetic media file has been
generated for the corresponding run id. Because you have chosen to run
the Magnetic Media Utility in <ZH>Test mode</>, the status of the run
id(s) that you selected before executing the utility has not been set to
22, meaning that no magnetic media file that is ready for submission has
been generated for the corresponding run id. The test run you selected
has, however, generated an XML file to enable you to review and
authenticate your test results before running the Magnetic Media Utility
in <ZH>Production mode</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5K313 - Test run successfully completed; database has not changed ?

  The SAP error message 5K313 indicates that a test run for a database operation was completed successfully, but no changes were made to the database. This message is typically seen in the context of data migration, updates, or other database-related operations where a test run is performed to validate the process without making actual changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The operation was executed in test mode (often indicated by a parameter or flag), which means that the system simulates the changes without applying them to the database.
  No Data Changes: The operation may not have found any data that required updating or changing, leading to no actual modifications being made.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the operation, such as incorrect selection criteria or filters that result in no records being processed.
  Data Integrity: The data may already be in the desired state, meaning that the operation would not result in any changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Ensure that you are not running the operation in test mode if you intend to make actual changes. Look for parameters or options that specify "test run" and disable them if necessary.
  Review Selection Criteria: Verify the selection criteria or filters used in the operation to ensure they are correct and that they target the intended records.
  Analyze Data State: Check the current state of the data to confirm whether the intended changes are necessary. If the data is already in the desired state, no changes will be made.
  Run in Production Mode: If you are satisfied with the test results and want to apply the changes, execute the operation in production mode (without the test run flag).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific SAP documentation or transaction help for the operation you are performing to understand the expected behavior and any prerequisites.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes related to data migration, updates, or batch processing.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific operation you are performing.
  Logs and Traces: Review logs or traces generated during the test run for more detailed information about what was processed and why no changes were made.
  Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to understand the cause of the message and take appropriate action to resolve it.
