• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_MKTPR206 - BAPI started in test mode ?

  The SAP error message CRM_MKTPR206 indicates that a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) was started in test mode. This typically means that the BAPI is being executed in a way that does not commit any changes to the database, allowing for testing without affecting the actual data.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The BAPI was called with a parameter that specifies it should run in test mode. This is often done for validation purposes, allowing users to see what would happen without making any actual changes.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain BAPIs in test mode by default, especially in development or testing environments.
  User Input: The user or the calling program may have explicitly set the BAPI to run in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BAPI Parameters: Review the parameters being passed to the BAPI. Look for a parameter that indicates test mode (often named something like TEST_MODE or similar) and set it to false or remove it if you want to execute the BAPI in production mode.
  Review Calling Program: If the BAPI is being called from a custom program or another transaction, check the code to ensure that it is not inadvertently setting the BAPI to run in test mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand its parameters and how to properly execute it in production mode.
  Environment Check: Ensure that you are in the correct environment (development, testing, or production) and that the BAPI is intended to be executed in that environment.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Each BAPI has its own documentation that details its parameters, expected behavior, and how to use it correctly. This can be found in the SAP system or on the SAP Help Portal.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to BAPI execution, such as SE37 (Function Module) or BAPI transaction for testing BAPIs.
  Testing and Development: If you are in a testing or development environment, it is common to run BAPIs in test mode. Ensure that you switch to production mode when you are ready to make actual changes.
