• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RDB_REC015 - Data is not saved to the database (test run) ?

  The SAP error message RDB_REC015 indicates that data is not being saved to the database because the operation is being executed in a test run mode. This is a common scenario in SAP where certain transactions or programs can be executed in a test mode to simulate the process without making any actual changes to the database.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction or program is being executed in a test run mode. In this mode, the system simulates the execution of the transaction but does not commit any changes to the database.
  Incorrect Parameters: Sometimes, the parameters or flags set for the transaction may inadvertently trigger the test run mode.
  User Authorization: In some cases, user authorization settings may restrict the ability to perform certain actions, leading to a test run scenario.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Execution Mode: Ensure that you are not running the transaction in test mode. Look for any options or parameters that specify "test run" (often indicated by a checkbox or a specific command).
  
  If you are using a command line or script, check for flags like TEST or NO_COMMIT.
  
  
  Change Parameters: If you find that the test run mode is enabled, change the parameters to allow for actual data processing.
  Review Documentation: Consult the documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using to understand how to properly execute it without the test run mode.
  User Authorization: If you suspect that user authorization is an issue, check with your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary permissions to perform the operation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the transaction you are using, the specific transaction code (T-code) may have its own set of parameters and options.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific transaction or program you are working with.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using the debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution and identify where the test run mode is being triggered.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RDB_REC015 error and successfully save data to the database.
