Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RPM_CONFIGURATION006 - Back up of tables successful in simulation mode ?

  The SAP error message RPM_CONFIGURATION006, which states "Back up of tables successful in simulation mode," typically indicates that a backup operation was executed in simulation mode rather than in actual execution mode. This means that while the system has successfully simulated the backup process, no actual backup of the tables has been performed.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The backup operation was intentionally or unintentionally run in simulation mode. This mode is often used for testing purposes to ensure that the backup process will work correctly without making any changes to the actual data.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to run certain operations in simulation mode by default, or the user may have selected this option during the backup process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Run the Backup in Actual Mode: To perform the actual backup, you need to execute the backup operation without the simulation flag. This can usually be done by:
  
  Accessing the backup configuration settings and ensuring that the simulation option is unchecked.
  Running the backup command or transaction again, ensuring that you are not in simulation mode.
  
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that the user executing the backup has the necessary permissions to perform actual backups.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific backup process you are using to ensure that you are following the correct steps.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis Team: If you are unsure about how to proceed or if the issue persists, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator for assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Backup and Recovery Procedures: Familiarize yourself with the standard backup and recovery procedures for your SAP environment, as these can vary based on the version and configuration of your SAP system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on backup operations.
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP version, you may use specific transaction codes (like DB13 for database backups) to manage backup operations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RPM_CONFIGURATION006 error and successfully perform the backup of your tables.
