• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GSINS/INSH_MSG098 - Simulation run; no replication of data in HCM ?

  The SAP error message /GSINS/INSH_MSG098 indicates that during a simulation run, there is no replication of data in Human Capital Management (HCM). This message typically arises in the context of data replication processes, such as when using the SAP HCM Integration with SuccessFactors or other systems.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The error is specifically related to a simulation run, which means that the system is not executing the actual data replication but is instead simulating what would happen if the replication were to occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the integration settings that prevent data from being replicated.
  Data Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for the data to be replicated may not match any existing records, leading to no data being processed.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the simulation may not have the necessary authorizations to view or replicate the data.
  Technical Errors: There could be underlying technical issues, such as missing or incorrect mappings between the systems involved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Settings: Ensure that the simulation settings are correctly configured and that you are aware that no actual data will be replicated during this run.
  Review Configuration: Verify the configuration settings for the data replication process. Ensure that all necessary parameters are set correctly.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used for the simulation. Make sure that it aligns with the data you expect to replicate.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the simulation and access the relevant data.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  Test with Actual Run: If appropriate, consider running the actual replication process (not in simulation mode) to see if the data is replicated successfully.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific integration scenario you are working with for any additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide guidance on troubleshooting data replication issues.
  Integration Documentation: Review the integration documentation for the specific systems involved (e.g., SAP HCM and SuccessFactors) to ensure that all prerequisites and configurations are met.
  Community Forums: Consider searching or posting in SAP community forums or support channels for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support for more in-depth troubleshooting.
