• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEARCHCMP026 - ***** Test run - No database changes are carried out ?

  The SAP error message PPEARCHCMP026 indicates that a test run was executed for a database operation, but no changes were made to the database. This message is typically associated with the SAP system's database operations, particularly in the context of data archiving or data management processes.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The operation was executed in test mode, which is designed to simulate the changes without actually applying them to the database. This is a common practice to ensure that the operation will work as expected before performing it in a live environment.
  No Data to Process: There may be no data that meets the criteria for the operation being performed. For example, if you are trying to archive data, there may be no records that qualify for archiving.
  Configuration Issues: There might be issues with the configuration settings that determine which data should be processed, leading to no records being selected for the operation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Test Run Settings: If you intended to make actual changes, ensure that you are not running the operation in test mode. Look for an option or parameter that specifies whether the operation should be a test run or a live run.
  Review Selection Criteria: Verify the selection criteria for the operation. Ensure that there are records that meet the criteria you have set. You may need to adjust the parameters to include the desired data.
  Analyze Logs: Check the logs or output messages from the test run for any additional information that might indicate why no changes were made. This can provide insights into whether the operation was correctly configured.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific transaction or program you are using. This can provide guidance on the expected behavior and configuration options.
  Run in Production Mode: If you are confident that the operation is set up correctly and you want to proceed with the changes, run the operation in production mode (without the test run flag).
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may be using specific transaction codes related to archiving or data management (e.g., SARA for archiving).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.
  Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error message and take appropriate action to resolve it.
