• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTYMP028 - Job is to be executed in simulation mode ?

  The SAP error message WTYMP028 indicates that a job is set to be executed in simulation mode. This typically means that the job will not perform any actual changes or updates to the system; instead, it will simulate the execution and provide a report of what would happen if the job were run in real mode.
  Cause:
  
  Job Configuration: The job was configured to run in simulation mode intentionally. This is often done for testing purposes to ensure that the job behaves as expected without making any changes to the database or system.
  User Settings: The user or administrator may have set the job to run in simulation mode to review the results before executing it for real.
  System Settings: Certain system settings or parameters may enforce simulation mode for specific jobs or transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change Job Settings: If you want the job to execute in real mode, you need to change the job settings. This can typically be done in the job scheduling transaction (e.g., SM37 for job monitoring or SM36 for job scheduling).
  
  Go to the job definition and check the parameters.
  Ensure that the "Simulation" option is unchecked or set to "No."
  
  
  Review Job Logs: If you are unsure why the job is in simulation mode, review the job logs for any messages or warnings that might indicate why it was set that way.
  Consult Documentation: If the job is part of a standard SAP process, consult the relevant SAP documentation or notes for guidance on how to configure it properly.
  Testing: If you are testing a new job or process, it may be beneficial to keep it in simulation mode until you are confident it will perform as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM36 (Define Job), SM37 (Job Monitoring), and SM21 (System Log) for monitoring and managing jobs.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific job or process you are working with.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change job settings, as some configurations may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the job should not be in simulation mode, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or system administrator for further assistance.
