  The SAP error message KV097 ("Test mode & active") typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction or process in a test mode while the system is also set to active mode. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the execution of a program, transaction, or when working with certain configurations.

  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings for the specific module or transaction you are working with. Ensure that the settings are appropriate for the mode you intend to use.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or module to understand the requirements for running in test versus active mode.
