• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >6379 - Job started as simulation run ?

This can happen in various contexts within SAP, such as during batch processing, job scheduling, or when executing certain transactions.

  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or parameters may have been set to default to simulation mode.
  User Input: The user may have inadvertently selected an option to run the job in simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Parameters: Review the parameters or options set for the job. Ensure that the option for simulation mode is not selected if you intend to run the job for real.
  Modify Job Settings: If you have access, modify the job settings to run in actual mode. This may involve changing the job type or execution parameters.
  Re-run the Job: After making the necessary changes, re-run the job to execute it in the desired mode.
