  Missing Authorization: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the actual archiving, leading the system to default to a test run.
  Archiving Object Settings: The settings for the specific archiving object may be configured to run in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Test Run Settings: If you intend to perform an actual archiving operation, ensure that the test run option is disabled. This can usually be done in the selection screen of the archiving transaction.
  Review Authorization: Ensure that the user executing the archiving process has the necessary authorizations to perform the archiving. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Execute Actual Archiving: After confirming the settings and authorizations, execute the archiving process again, ensuring that the test run option is unchecked.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific archiving object you are working with to understand the parameters and settings that may affect the archiving process.
  
  Related Information:
