- This is a test run ?Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WS378 - "This is a test run":
SAP Message WS378: "This is a test run"
Cause:
The message WS378 is not actually an error but an informational message indicating that the current operation or transaction is being executed in test run mode (also called simulation mode or "no update" mode).
In SAP, many transactions or reports allow you to perform a test run before making actual changes to the database. During a test run, the system simulates the process and displays what would happen if the transaction were executed for real, but no data is actually updated or changed.
This message appears to inform the user that the current execution is a test run and no real posting or update has taken place.
When does it occur?
If you want to perform a real update:
Rerun the transaction or report without selecting the Test Run checkbox or simulation mode. This will allow the system to post or update the data as intended.
If you only want to simulate:
No action is needed. The message is just informational to confirm that no changes were made.
Test Run / Simulation Mode:
Many SAP transactions provide a test run option to help users verify the results before committing changes. This is a best practice to avoid posting incorrect data.
Example Transactions with Test Run:
Message Class: WS (Workflow or related system messages)
