• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8B854 - Test run completed. No data deleted in database ?

  The SAP error message 8B854 indicates that a test run was completed for a deletion process, but no data was actually deleted from the database. This message typically occurs when you are executing a transaction or program that is designed to delete data, but the system is set to run in test mode, which means it will simulate the deletion without making any actual changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this message is that the deletion process was executed in test mode. In this mode, the system checks what would happen if the deletion were to be executed, but it does not perform the actual deletion.
  No Data to Delete: Another possibility is that there was no data that met the criteria for deletion, so even in a non-test run, there would be no data to delete.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for the deletion might not match any records in the database, leading to no data being found for deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Test Mode: If you intended to perform an actual deletion, ensure that you are not running the program in test mode. Look for an option or checkbox that indicates "Test Run" and make sure it is unchecked.
  Review Selection Criteria: Verify the selection criteria you are using for the deletion. Ensure that the criteria are correct and that there are records in the database that match those criteria.
  Run in Production Mode: If you are confident that the selection criteria are correct and you want to proceed with the deletion, run the program in production mode (without the test run option).
  Check Logs: If you are still unsure why no data was deleted, check the logs or output messages from the deletion process for any additional information or warnings that might indicate why no records were found.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you might be using specific transaction codes related to data deletion (e.g., SARA for archiving, SDBA for data deletion).
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletion operations in the system.
  Backup: Always ensure that you have a backup of the data before performing deletion operations, especially in production environments.
  Testing: It is a good practice to test deletion processes in a development or quality assurance environment before executing them in production.
