Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_AL_ECS_PP002 - Direct input was started in test mode ?

  The SAP error message GLE_AL_ECS_PP002 indicates that a direct input process was initiated in test mode. This means that the system is simulating the input process without actually making any changes to the database. This is often used for validation purposes to ensure that the data being processed will not cause any issues when it is actually imported.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The direct input was started with a parameter or setting that specifies it should run in test mode. This is typically done to check for errors or validate data before performing the actual import.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the direct input might have been set to test mode either intentionally or by mistake.
  
  Solution:
  
  Run in Update Mode: If you want to perform the actual data import, you need to run the direct input in update mode instead of test mode. This usually involves changing a parameter in the input program or transaction.
  
  Check the transaction or program you are using to initiate the direct input and look for an option to switch from test mode to update mode.
  
  
  Review Input Parameters: Ensure that the parameters you are using to start the direct input do not include any flags or settings that enforce test mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific direct input method you are using to understand how to properly configure it for update mode.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Direct Input Programs: SAP provides various direct input programs for different modules (e.g., FI, MM, etc.). Each program may have its own specific parameters and settings.
  Testing Data: Running in test mode is a good practice to ensure that the data being imported is valid and will not cause issues in the system.
  Error Logs: If you encounter issues while running in test mode, check the error logs or messages generated during the test run to identify any data-related problems that need to be addressed before running in update mode.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the error persists even after attempting to run in update mode, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
