• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPSGB_HER191 - Report started in test mode ?

  The SAP error message HRPSGB_HER191 indicates that a report is being executed in test mode. This typically means that the report will not make any changes to the database or perform any actions that would affect the system's data. Instead, it will only simulate the execution of the report, allowing users to review the output without making any permanent changes.
  Cause:
  
  Test Mode Activation: The report was executed with the test mode option enabled. This is often done to verify the report's output before running it in production mode.
  User Settings: The user may have set their session or report parameters to run in test mode by default.
  Report Configuration: Some reports have specific parameters that can be set to run in test mode, either by the user or by the system configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Execution Mode: If you want to run the report in production mode, you need to change the execution mode from test to production. This can usually be done by unchecking a "Test Mode" checkbox or selecting a different execution option in the report parameters.
  Review Parameters: Check the parameters you are using to execute the report. Ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting options that would cause it to run in test mode.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the specific documentation for the report you are running to understand how to properly execute it in production mode.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to run the report in production mode, as some reports may have restrictions based on user roles.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific report you are running.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in executing reports or changing settings (e.g., SE38 for executing reports).
  Testing Procedures: It is a good practice to run reports in test mode first to validate the output before executing them in a live environment, especially for reports that make changes to data.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the report does not behave as expected even after changing the execution mode, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
