  Switch to Production Mode: If you intend to execute the transaction for real, ensure that you are not in test mode. Look for an option or checkbox that indicates "Test Run" or "Simulate" and uncheck it.
  Check Transaction Settings: Review the settings of the transaction you are executing. Some transactions have specific flags or parameters that dictate whether they run in test mode or not.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using to understand how to properly execute it.
