• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UC087 - Data transfer in test run mode ?

  The SAP error message UC087 indicates that a data transfer process is being executed in test run mode. This typically means that the system is set to simulate the data transfer without actually committing any changes to the database. This is often used for testing purposes to ensure that the data transfer will work correctly before performing it in a live environment.
  Cause:
  
  Test Run Mode Activated: The data transfer program or transaction is being executed with the test run option enabled. This is often done to verify the process without making any changes to the database.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the transaction or program may have been configured to run in test mode.
  User Input: The user may have inadvertently selected the test run option when initiating the data transfer.
  
  Solution:
  
  Disable Test Run Mode: If you want to perform the actual data transfer, you need to disable the test run mode. This can usually be done by:
  
  Checking the parameters or options in the transaction or program you are using.
  Ensuring that the "Test Run" checkbox or equivalent option is unchecked.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the documentation for the specific transaction or program to understand how to properly execute it in production mode.
  Run in Production Mode: After ensuring that the test run option is disabled, re-execute the data transfer process.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, the error may arise in various transaction codes related to data transfer, such as LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench), BAPIs, or custom data migration programs.
  Testing Procedures: It is a good practice to run data transfers in test mode first to identify any potential issues before executing them in production.
  Logs and Messages: Check the logs or messages generated during the test run for any additional information that may help in troubleshooting or understanding the data transfer process.
  
  If you continue to encounter issues or if the error persists even after disabling test run mode, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation.
