• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIT_TRIP_ARCH001 - Select either 'Test mode' or 'Generate archive file'. ?

  The SAP error message OIT_TRIP_ARCH001 typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction related to archiving trip data, but you have not selected a mode for the operation. This message indicates that you need to specify whether you want to run the process in "Test mode" or "Generate archive file" mode.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system requires you to choose one of the two options before proceeding with the archiving process. If neither option is selected, the system cannot determine how to execute the transaction.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Transaction: Go to the transaction where you encountered the error (usually related to archiving trips, such as OIT_TRIP_ARCHIVE).
  
  
  Select Mode:
  
  Test Mode: If you want to run the archiving process in test mode (to see what would happen without actually archiving any data), select this option.
  Generate Archive File: If you want to proceed with the actual archiving process and create an archive file, select this option.
  
  
  
  Execute the Transaction: After selecting one of the modes, execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Test Mode: This mode allows you to simulate the archiving process. It will show you what data would be archived without making any changes to the database.
  Generate Archive File: This mode will create an archive file based on the data selected for archiving. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Archiving Objects: Make sure that the archiving object related to trips is properly configured in your SAP system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team if you encounter further issues.
