• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G00126 - Test run is active; no files are created or overwritten ?

  The SAP error message G00126 indicates that a test run is currently active for a particular process, which means that no actual files will be created or overwritten during this run. This is a common scenario in SAP when you are executing a program or transaction in test mode, which is designed to simulate the process without making any permanent changes to the system.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the program or transaction is being executed in test mode. In this mode, the system simulates the execution of the process but does not perform any actual changes or create files.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or parameters may have been set to run the process in test mode by default.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Execution Mode:
  
  Ensure that you are not running the transaction or program in test mode. Look for any options or parameters that specify "Test Run" or similar.
  If you are using a transaction code, check if there is an option to switch from test mode to production mode (often indicated by a checkbox or a parameter).
  
  
  
  Change Parameters:
  
  If you are using a report or program, check the selection screen for a checkbox or parameter that indicates "Test Run" (often labeled as "Test" or "Simulate"). Uncheck this option to run the program in actual mode.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using to understand how to properly execute it in production mode.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the execution mode or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or support team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, the error may arise from various transaction codes (e.g., mass data uploads, batch jobs, etc.).
  Testing Procedures: It is common practice to run processes in test mode during development or testing phases to ensure that everything works correctly before executing in production.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Community for any specific notes related to the transaction or program you are using, as there may be known issues or additional guidance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the G00126 error and successfully execute your process in the desired mode.
