• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRV010 - Both 'Modify Only' flag and 'DB Only' flag are set ?

  The SAP error message SRV010 indicates that both the "Modify Only" flag and the "DB Only" flag are set in a particular context, which is not allowed. This situation typically arises in the context of data processing or data transfer operations where conflicting settings are applied.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when both flags are activated simultaneously in a configuration or during a data operation. The "Modify Only" flag is used to indicate that only existing records should be modified, while the "DB Only" flag suggests that the operation should only interact with the database without any modifications to the data structure or records. Having both flags set creates a conflict because one flag implies modification while the other implies no modification.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration or the settings where these flags are being set. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Go to the relevant transaction or configuration area where these flags are set. This could be in a data transfer program, a batch job, or a specific module configuration.
  
  
  Adjust Flags: Ensure that only one of the flags is set at a time. Depending on your requirement:
  
  If you need to modify existing records, keep the "Modify Only" flag and unset the "DB Only" flag.
  If you only want to interact with the database without modifying records, keep the "DB Only" flag and unset the "Modify Only" flag.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, run the process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of changing these flags, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module or transaction you are working with.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert who has experience with the specific SAP module you are working with.
