• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_RECALL015 - Function &1 was started in a simulation run ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_RECALL015 indicates that a function (denoted as &1) was initiated in a simulation run. This typically means that the function you are trying to execute is currently set to run in a test or simulation mode rather than in actual execution mode. 
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The function you are trying to execute is designed to run in simulation mode, which is often used for testing purposes. This mode allows users to see what would happen if the function were executed without making any actual changes to the system or data.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to default to simulation mode for certain functions, either due to user settings or system-wide configurations.
  User Permissions: The user executing the function may not have the necessary permissions to run it in actual mode, leading the system to default to simulation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Review the settings or parameters of the function you are trying to execute. Look for an option to switch from simulation mode to actual execution mode.
  Adjust Configuration: If the function is set to run in simulation mode by default, you may need to change the configuration settings to allow for actual execution.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the function in actual mode. If not, contact your system administrator to request the appropriate access.
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific function to understand how to properly execute it and any parameters that may need to be adjusted.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific function you are trying to execute.
  Transaction Codes: If applicable, familiarize yourself with the transaction codes associated with the function to ensure you are using the correct ones.
  Testing Procedures: If you are in a testing phase, ensure that you are following the correct procedures for testing and that you understand the implications of running functions in simulation mode.
