• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_TESTSUPPORT019 - Dark flag and Customizing test cannot be active at the same time ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_TESTSUPPORT019 indicates that there is a conflict between the "Dark flag" and the "Customizing test" in the SAP system. This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a customizing test while the dark flag is set, which is not allowed.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Dark Flag: The dark flag is a feature in SAP that allows you to run tests in a "dark" mode, meaning that certain configurations or settings are not visible or are hidden from the user. This is often used for testing purposes to ensure that certain configurations do not interfere with the testing process.
  
  
  Customizing Test: A customizing test is a process where you validate the configuration settings in the system. It is meant to ensure that the system behaves as expected based on the current configuration.
  
  
  The error occurs because both the dark flag and the customizing test cannot be active simultaneously. This is a design
