This is often used in scenarios where users want to ensure that their data is correct before executing a full upload.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the system is configured correctly for key mapping uploads. Sometimes, certain settings may restrict the functionality to simulation mode.
