  Run in Non-Productive System: If you need to execute the program, you should do so in a development or quality assurance system. Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and that you are aware of the implications of running the program.
  Check Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific program or transaction to understand its purpose and any prerequisites or implications of running it.
