• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_TOOL280 - Check only mode - no data is changed ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_RCS_TOOL280 indicates that the system is in "check only" mode, meaning that no actual changes are being made to the data. This message typically arises during processes where data validation or checks are performed without committing any changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Check Only Mode: The system is configured to run in a mode where it only checks the data for errors or inconsistencies without applying any changes. This is often used for testing or validation purposes.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the transaction or program you are using may be set to "check only" mode intentionally to prevent accidental changes during testing.
  User Permissions: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary permissions to make changes, leading the system to default to a check-only mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Change Mode: If you intend to make changes, ensure that you are in the correct mode. Look for an option or setting in the transaction to switch from "check only" to "change" mode.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings of the transaction or program to ensure that it is not set to "check only" mode by default.
  User Permissions: Verify that your user account has the necessary permissions to perform changes. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific SAP documentation or help files related to the transaction or program you are using for more detailed instructions on how to change modes.
