  The SAP error message FAA_S2I_MIGR010 indicates that a specific client (denoted by &1) cannot be changed because the migration process is only allowed in test mode. This error typically arises during the migration of asset data in the SAP system, particularly when using the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module.

  Authorization Issues: The user executing the migration may not have the necessary authorizations to perform changes in the specified client.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Test Mode: Ensure that you are running the migration in test mode. This can usually be done by selecting the appropriate option in the migration transaction or program.
  Check Client Settings: If you need to perform the migration in a production client, you may need to change the client settings or perform the migration in a test client first and then transport the changes to production.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the migration. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned.
