• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_PM_ADDON188 - ** Test run ** data is not saved ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_PM_ADDON188 ** Test run ** data is not saved typically indicates that you are attempting to execute a process in a test run mode, which means that the system is set to simulate the operation without making any actual changes to the database or saving any data. This is a common feature in SAP to allow users to validate their inputs and processes without affecting the live data.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the operation is being executed in test run mode. In this mode, the system will not save any data, and the message is simply informing you that no changes have been made.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or settings in the transaction or program may enforce a test run mode.
  User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions or roles may restrict the ability to save data, although this is less common for a test run message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to Update Mode: If you intend to save the data, you need to execute the transaction or program in update mode instead of test run mode. Look for an option or parameter that allows you to switch from test run to update mode. This is often done by removing a specific flag or checkbox that indicates "Test Run."
  Review Transaction Parameters: Check the parameters you are using when executing the transaction. Ensure that you are not inadvertently setting it to test run.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure how to change the mode, refer to the SAP documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using. It may provide guidance on how to execute it in update mode.
  Check User Roles: If you suspect that user permissions might be an issue, consult with your SAP administrator to ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform the operation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the specific context of the error, you may be using a specific transaction code related to the PM (Plant Maintenance) module or another module that utilizes the /ISDFPS/ namespace.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or program you are using. SAP Notes can provide additional insights or patches that may resolve issues.
  Testing Procedures: If you are using test runs for validation, ensure that you have a clear understanding of the expected outcomes and how to interpret the results of the test run.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the error message persists even when you believe you are in update mode, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
