CLIENT COPY

There are 3 types of client copy in SAP.

  1. Local client copy
  2. Remote client copy
  3. Client Export/Import 
Local Client Copy:


Follow these steps to create a copy of existing clients −
Step 1 − To create a copy of a client in local SID, the transaction code is SCCL.

Step 2 − Enter the following details −
Select your desired profile, enter source client, and enter description.

Step 3 − By default, the client copy is executed in a single process and you can distribute the workload on multiple processes to reduce time for copying.

Parallel Processes

Step 4 − Copying a client can take longer. Therefore, this process can be run as background job.

Step 5 − To check the logs, transaction code — SCC3 can be used.

Remote Client Copy:

You can create a copy of client in the remote system using transaction code — SCC9. This system uses Trusted RFC connection SM59.
Enter the details as we do for local client copy and you can select an option to run the copy in background.
To check the logs, transaction code — SCC3 can be used.

Transport Log Analysis

Client Export/Import:

It is always recommended to use import/export option for client copy when database size is large.
Follow these steps to export a client
Step 1 − Log on to target system and create an entry for new target client using transaction code — SCC4. To perform export for transferring data files to target system import buffer, use transaction code — SCC8.

Export Client
Step 2 − Select the profile and target system. You can schedule the export process in background. Depending on the export type, it creates multiple transport requests in the following areas −
  • To hold the cross client data.
  • To hold the client dependent data.
  • To hold some client dependent data.
Now, follow these steps to import a client −
Step 1 − To import a client, use transaction code — STMS_IMPORT, you will see import queue.

STMS Import
Step 2 − Select the transport requests to perform import process that is generated from export operation. Once import is done, you can use the transaction code — SCC7 to complete post import phase. You can check import logs using transaction code — SCC3.
