• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT205 - Import will run as a test; data will not be persisted ?

  The SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT205 indicates that the import process you are attempting to execute is running in test mode, meaning that the data will not be persisted in the system. This is typically a precautionary measure to allow users to verify the import process without making any permanent changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The import process is set to run in test mode. This can happen if the import function is explicitly called with a test flag or if the system is configured to run certain operations in test mode by default.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate whether operations are executed in test mode or production mode.
  User Permissions: The user executing the import may not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation in production mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Import Settings: Review the settings or parameters used for the import operation. Ensure that the test mode is not enabled unless intended.
  Run in Production Mode: If you want the data to be persisted, you need to execute the import in production mode. This may involve changing the parameters or settings in the import function.
  User Permissions: Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to perform the import in production mode. If not, you may need to request the necessary authorizations from your SAP administrator.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific import function you are using to understand how to switch from test mode to production mode.
