• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMMA370 - Parameters are mutually exclusive - fill either TEST_RUN or CHECK_MODE ?

  The SAP error message EMMA370 indicates that there is a conflict in the parameters being used in a particular function or transaction. Specifically, it states that the parameters TEST_RUN and CHECK_MODE are mutually exclusive, meaning that you cannot set both of them at the same time. You must choose one or the other.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when a program or transaction is executed with both TEST_RUN and CHECK_MODE parameters set to true (or enabled). These parameters are often used in the context of data processing or migration tasks, where:
  
  
  TEST_RUN: This parameter is used to execute the process in a test mode, where no actual changes are made to the database. It is often used to validate the process without affecting the data.
  
  
  CHECK_MODE: This parameter is used to perform checks on the data or process without executing the actual changes. It is similar to a dry run, where the system checks for errors or issues but does not perform any updates.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EMMA370 error, you need to ensure that only one of the parameters is set to true at any given time. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Review the Code/Configuration: Check the code or configuration where the parameters are being set. Ensure that you are not enabling both TEST_RUN and CHECK_MODE simultaneously.
  
  
  Modify the Parameters: Depending on your requirement, set either TEST_RUN or CHECK_MODE to true, and the other to false. For example:
  
  If you want to run a test without making changes, set TEST_RUN to true and CHECK_MODE to false.
  If you want to perform checks without executing changes, set CHECK_MODE to true and TEST_RUN to false.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process: After making the necessary adjustments to the parameters, re-run the transaction or program to see if the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using to understand the purpose of these parameters and how they should be used.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions related to this error message.
  Testing: Always test in a development or quality assurance environment before applying changes in production to avoid unintended consequences.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the EMMA370 error and proceed with your SAP tasks.
