SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRV -

• Message number: 279

• Message text: A test was excluded from the repair run (see long text)

What causes this issue?

In a repair run, only those tests are executed (in the repair mode)
that (have been supplied with parameters) have already been executed in
the test mode.
This restriction was implemented as a way of forcing the user to deal
with the error situation. It cannot always be guaranteed that the error
situation is correctly detected and corrected by the repair program,
particularly in inconsistent systems.
Before you exectute repairs in the system, you need to try to
understand the nature of the inconsistencies. Only carry out the repair
if the documentation shows that this test can remove such
inconsistencies.
