• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU2026 - &1 was started in test run --> changes will not be saved ?

  The SAP error message WU2026 indicates that a particular transaction or program was executed in "test run" mode. In this mode, the system simulates the execution of the transaction without making any actual changes to the database. This is often used for testing purposes to ensure that the process will work correctly before committing any changes.
  Cause:
  The error message occurs when:
  
  A user has executed a transaction that supports a test run option (often indicated by a checkbox or a parameter).
  The system is set to run in test mode, which means that any changes that would normally be made during the execution of the transaction will not be saved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to run the transaction in "update" mode instead of "test" mode. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check the Transaction Parameters: Look for any options or parameters that indicate "test run" or "simulation". This could be a checkbox in the transaction screen or a command line parameter.
  
  
  Remove Test Run Option: If you find a checkbox for "test run", uncheck it. If you are using a command line, ensure that you are not including the test run parameter (often TEST or similar).
  
  
  Re-execute the Transaction: After making the necessary changes to run in update mode, execute the transaction again.
  
  
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction in update mode.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Testing Transactions: Running transactions in test mode is a common practice in SAP to prevent unintended changes during testing. Always ensure that you are aware of the mode you are operating in.
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Some common transaction codes that might trigger this message include those related to configuration changes, data uploads, or mass updates.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for specific transactions to understand their parameters and options better.
  
  
  SAP Notes: If the issue persists or if you encounter additional errors, check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes or updates related to the specific transaction or error message.
