• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT049 - Performance Measurement not possible: Reset test scenario first ?

  The SAP error message /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_INT049 Performance Measurement not possible: Reset test scenario first typically occurs in the context of the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, particularly when dealing with performance management scenarios. This error indicates that a performance measurement cannot be executed because a test scenario is currently active.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the presence of an active test scenario in the performance measurement process. In SAP, test scenarios are often used to simulate or test various processes without affecting the actual data. If a test scenario is active, it may lock certain functionalities or data, preventing the execution of performance measurements.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to reset or deactivate the active test scenario. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Access the Test Scenario:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or application where the test scenario is defined. This could be in the Performance Management area of SAP HCM.
  
  
  
  Identify the Active Test Scenario:
  
  Check if there is an active test scenario that is currently in use. This may involve looking at the configuration settings or the specific performance measurement you are trying to execute.
  
  
  
  Reset or Deactivate the Test Scenario:
  
  If you find an active test scenario, you will need to reset or deactivate it. This can usually be done through the same interface where you accessed the test scenario. Look for options like "Reset," "Deactivate," or "End Test Scenario."
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Performance Measurement:
  
  After resetting the test scenario, try to execute the performance measurement again. The error should no longer appear if the test scenario has been successfully deactivated.
