  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_OUTBOUND093 - Test run! Changes not saved, messages not generated. ?

    The SAP error message:

    WES_OUTBOUND093 Test run! Changes not saved, messages not generated.

    Cause:

    This message typically appears during the execution of outbound processing in SAP's Workflow or ALE/IDoc processing when the system is running in test mode (also called simulation mode). In this mode, the system simulates the processing of outbound messages but does not actually save any changes or generate/send the messages.

    This is often used to verify the configuration or processing logic without affecting the live data or triggering actual message transmission.

    Explanation:

    • The system is performing a test run of the outbound processing.
    • No data changes are committed to the database.
    • No outbound IDocs or messages are actually created or sent.
    • This is an informational message to indicate that the run was a simulation.

    When does this happen?

    • When the outbound processing is explicitly set to test mode.
    • When the user or program triggers a test run (e.g., via transaction or program parameters).
    • During configuration or troubleshooting to verify message processing without side effects.

    Solution:

    • If you want to perform a real run (not a test run):

      • Ensure that the test mode flag or parameter is disabled.
      • For example, in transaction or program parameters, uncheck or set the test run indicator to false.
      • Re-run the outbound processing.
    • If you want to keep the test run:

      • No action is needed; this message is informational.
      • Understand that no changes or messages will be generated in this mode.

    Related Information:

    • This message is common in ALE/IDoc outbound processing or workflow outbound processing.
    • Test runs are useful for debugging and validation.
    • Check the program or transaction documentation to find how to toggle test mode.
    • Example transactions where this might appear: WE19 (IDoc test tool), BD87 (IDoc reprocessing), or custom outbound processing programs.
    • If you are using a custom program or report, check the parameters or code for a test run flag.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message WES_OUTBOUND093 Test run! Changes not saved, messages not generated.
    Cause Outbound processing executed in test mode (simulation).
    Effect No data changes or messages are generated.
    Solution Disable test mode to perform actual processing.
    Use case Useful for testing and debugging outbound message processing.

    If you provide the exact transaction or program where this message appears, I can give more specific instructions on how to disable test mode.
