• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVP_EOP_SD017 - Report executed in simulation mode ?

  The SAP error message CVP_EOP_SD017 indicates that a report has been executed in simulation mode. This typically means that the report is running in a mode that does not make any actual changes to the database or system; instead, it is used for testing or previewing the results of the report without committing any transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Execution Mode: The report was intentionally or unintentionally executed in simulation mode. This can happen if the user selects a specific option to run the report in simulation or if the system is configured to default to simulation mode.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the report in a mode that makes changes.
  Configuration Settings: The report may be configured to run in simulation mode based on certain parameters or settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Parameters: Review the parameters used when executing the report. Ensure that the option for simulation mode is not selected if you want to run the report for actual processing.
  User Authorization: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the report in a non-simulation mode. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to adjust the permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific documentation for the report to understand its execution modes and any configuration settings that may affect how it runs.
  Run in Actual Mode: If you need to execute the report for actual processing, ensure that you select the appropriate option to run it in the actual mode instead of simulation.
