Client Copy Using Client Export and Import

This document discusses how to copy SAP clients using client export and import. It describes the steps to export client data from a source system and import it into a target system. These include running the SAP client export tool to create transport requests, manually adding the requests to the target system, and running the import tool to load the data. It notes that the process can take a significant amount of time depending on the amount of data and server hardware. It also provides commands to increase the file system size on SUSE Linux if needed to accommodate the imported data.

Client Copy Using Client Export and Import


How to do client copy using client export and import?

By Henry

Today I am going to view about Client Copy using Client Export and Client Import procedure. Its easy and
safe way than direct client copy.

Client Export Steps:

1. Run SCC8
2. Select Profile for desired copy type (Usually All SAP_ALL or user master only SAP_USER. You will
need direction from the requester as to the correct selection here. Use Profile -> Display Profile to display
profile details.)
3. Select target System (or group)
4. De- Select Test Run (If selected)
5. Run Export
- Up to 3 requests are created, depending on the data selected and available:
1. SIDKO00353" for transporting client-independent data, if you have selected this
2. SIDKT00353" for transporting client-specific data
3. SIDKX00353" for transporting client-specific texts, provided texts are available in this client
6.Monitor TP logs for errors and export files for growth

Client Import Steps:

1. Create client (scc4)


2. Login to client (sap* pass)
3. Manually add O transport then X then T to TMS buffer
4. Highlight #1 and use Request -> Import to launch import tool
5. Monitor I file in OS /usr/sap/trans/tmp dir for progress info
6. After Import is complete perform post processing steps from client tool (SCC7)

So, if you have 3 transport requests and the data has been exported successfully then go for an import in
quality system.

This would help you to refresh QA server with PRD server data and settings.

Note:

About client copy from PRD to QAS through export-import, is it possible to do it in office hour (while all
users are still active) and do I have to lock them first? Right now I have 164 GBs of data in the database,
how long does it take. I use SUSE Ent v10 as the OS, what command should I use to increase the FS just in
case the space is not enough.

Answer:

You need un-peak hour to do client copy since this process would take most of your server resource. I
didnt know how long it going to take time since it depend on your server hardware specification and your
SAP config.

If you are using LVM and using ext3 or reiserfs than this would be simple step.

Steps when using reiserfs :

#lvextend -L +size /dev/volume_group/logical_volume


#resize_reiserfs -L +size /dev/volume_group/logical_volume

Steps when using ext2/ext3 :

#lvextend -L +size /dev/volume_group/logical_volume


#resize2fs /dev/volume_group/logical_volume

Just make sure you would contact your OS and hardware vendor before resizing of fs.
