• The SAP error message WFCS081: Test mode activated: do not use in productive system indicates that the SAP Workflow system is currently running in test mode.

  Cause

  This setting is typically used during development or testing to simulate workflow behavior without triggering actual workflow actions.
  If this parameter remains active in a productive system, SAP issues the WFCS081 warning/error to alert administrators.
