• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/SYNC189 - Test run - no changes are made on the database ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/SYNC189 Test run - no changes are made on the database typically occurs in the context of the SAP Data Framework or related applications when a synchronization or data processing job is executed in test mode. This message indicates that the system has run the synchronization process, but no changes were made to the database because the test run is designed to simulate the process without applying any actual changes.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The process was executed in test mode, which is intended to validate the logic and flow of the synchronization without making any changes to the database.
  No Data Changes: The data being processed may not have any changes that need to be applied, leading to the message indicating that no changes were made.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent changes from being applied, or the data may not meet the criteria for updates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: If you intended to make changes, ensure that you are running the process in the correct mode (i.e., not in test mode). Look for options or parameters that specify whether the run is a test or production run.
  Review Data Changes: Verify the data being processed to ensure that there are indeed changes that need to be applied. If there are no changes, the message is expected.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings related to the synchronization process to ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for changes.
  Logs and Traces: Review logs or traces for additional information that might indicate why no changes were made. This can provide insights into any underlying issues.
