• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BTX202 - TEST: Subprocess will be executed in "old world" due to user parameters ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_BTX202 TEST: Subprocess will be executed in "old world" due to user parameters typically indicates that a subprocess in the SAP system is being executed in a legacy mode (often referred to as "old world") due to specific user parameters or settings.
  Cause:
  
  User Parameters: The error is often caused by user-specific settings in the SAP system that dictate how certain processes should be executed. If these parameters are set to use legacy methods or older processing techniques, the system will revert to the "old world" mode.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration of the system or the specific transaction might be set to use older processing methods, which can lead to this message being displayed.
  Compatibility Issues: There may be compatibility issues with the current version of the software or the specific transaction being executed, leading to a fallback to older processing methods.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Parameters: Review the user parameters set for the user profile that is encountering the error. You can do this by navigating to the user settings in SAP (transaction code SU01) and checking the parameters under the "Parameters" tab.
  Adjust Settings: If you find parameters that are forcing the system to use the old processing method, consider adjusting or removing them. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or functional team to ensure that changes align with business processes.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the specific transaction or process that is generating the error. Ensure that it is set up to use the latest processing methods.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or process to understand if there are any known issues or recommended settings.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the subprocess executes correctly without reverting to the old world mode.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that may address this issue. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct settings and parameters to avoid inadvertently triggering legacy processing.
  System Updates: If the system is outdated, consider upgrading to a newer version of SAP that may have improved processing capabilities and fewer legacy issues.
  
  If the problem persists after checking user parameters and configuration settings, it may be beneficial to engage SAP support for further assistance.
