• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABY_PP_CANCEL015 - No DB update in simulation mode - always rollback ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABY_PP_CANCEL015 indicates that there is an issue related to the simulation mode in the context of a process or transaction that is attempting to perform a database update. The message specifically states that there is "No DB update in simulation mode - always rollback," which means that the system is currently set to simulate the transaction rather than execute it, and therefore, no changes will be committed to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction is being executed in simulation mode. In this mode, the system processes the transaction as if it were executing it, but it does not actually make any changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations or settings in the SAP system may enforce simulation mode for specific transactions or processes.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the actual update, leading the system to default to simulation mode.
  Transaction Type: The specific transaction or process being executed may inherently be designed to run in simulation mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Simulation Mode: Ensure that you are not running the transaction in simulation mode. Look for any flags or settings that indicate simulation and change them to allow for actual execution.
  Review Configuration: If the transaction is configured to run in simulation mode, review the configuration settings to determine if this is intentional or if it can be changed.
  User Authorizations: Verify that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to perform the update. If not, work with your SAP security team to obtain the required permissions.
  Execute in Real Mode: If you need to perform the actual update, ensure that you are executing the transaction in the correct mode (non-simulation). This may involve changing the parameters or options selected when initiating the transaction.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction or process to understand its behavior and any specific requirements for execution.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.

  Testing Environment: If you are working in a testing or development environment, ensure that the settings are appropriate for the type of testing you are conducting.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
