• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/NR199 - Test run - no changes will be made on the database ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/NR199 Test run - no changes will be made on the database typically occurs during a process that is intended to modify data in the database, but it is being executed in "test run" mode. This means that the system is set to simulate the changes without actually applying them to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction or program is being executed in test mode. This is often done to verify the changes that would be made without actually committing them to the database.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or parameters may be set to enforce test runs for specific transactions or processes.
  User Input: The user may have inadvertently selected an option to run the process in test mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Execution Mode: If you want to apply the changes to the database, you need to run the transaction or program in the actual execution mode instead of the test run mode. Look for an option or parameter that allows you to switch from "test run" to "update" mode.
  Check Transaction Parameters: Review the parameters or options you are using when executing the transaction. Ensure that you are not selecting any options that enforce a test run.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure how to change the execution mode, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or program you are using.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the specific transaction you are using, the way to switch from test run to actual execution may vary. Common transaction codes that might trigger this message include those related to data updates, migrations, or batch jobs.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to the specific transaction or program you are working with.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation you are attempting. Sometimes, restrictions can lead to unexpected behavior.
