• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES018 - Test run was executed for &1 ?

  The SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES018 indicates that a test run was executed for a specific process or transaction, denoted by &1. This message typically appears in the context of workflows or automated processes in SAP, particularly when using the Application Framework for Workflow (AFW).
  Cause:
  The error message is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense but rather an informational message indicating that the process was executed in test mode. This means that the actual changes or actions that would normally occur during a live run were not executed, and the system is informing you that the results you are seeing are from a test run.
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Execution Mode: If you intended to run the process in live mode, ensure that you are not in test mode. Look for any flags or settings that specify whether the run is a test or live execution.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are using a custom workflow or process, review the configuration settings to ensure that the test mode is not set by default.
  
  
  Execute in Live Mode: If you need to perform the action in live mode, you may need to change the execution parameters or settings in the transaction or program you are using.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or process you are working with to understand how to switch from test to live mode.
  
  
  Check Logs: If you are unsure why the test run was triggered, check the logs or messages preceding this error to see if there were any indications of why the process was executed in test mode.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes related to workflows or batch jobs. Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes and their settings.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the specific transaction or process you are working with. There may be known issues or additional guidance provided by SAP.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the process in live mode, as some settings may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the message is causing problems in your workflow, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
