• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_10020599 - Execution in test mode; no changes in the database ?

  The SAP error message CNV_10020599 indicates that a certain operation is being executed in test mode, which means that no actual changes are being made to the database. This is a common scenario when running data migration or conversion programs in SAP, where the intention is to validate the process without affecting the live data.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The program or transaction is set to run in test mode. This is often a default setting for data migration or conversion tools to allow users to verify the process without making any changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the migration tool or program may be configured to run in test mode, either intentionally or due to a missing parameter.
  User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict the ability to execute changes, forcing the program to run in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Production Mode: If you intend to make actual changes to the database, you need to switch the execution mode from test to production. This is usually done by changing a parameter in the program or transaction settings.
  
  Look for options like "Execute in Production Mode" or similar in the program interface.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings of the migration tool or program to ensure that it is set up correctly for production execution.
  Review Documentation: Consult the documentation for the specific migration or conversion tool you are using to understand how to properly execute it in production mode.
  User Permissions: Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to execute changes in the database. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes related to data migration (e.g., LSMW, LTMC).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional guidance on executing the migration tool.
  Testing Procedures: It is a good practice to run the migration in test mode first to identify any potential issues before executing in production mode.
  Backup: Always ensure that you have a backup of your data before performing any operations that modify the database.
  
  If you continue to encounter issues or if the error persists after attempting the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
