  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Review the parameters or options selected when executing the transaction. Look for a checkbox or option labeled "Test Run" or similar, and ensure it is unchecked if you want to perform an actual update.
  Re-run the Transaction: After confirming that the test run option is disabled, re-execute the transaction to apply the changes to the database.
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about the execution options, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or program you are using.
