TYPES OF CLIENT COPY

➢ client copy is the process of duplicating an existing client's data and

configuration to create a new client.
➢ Client is an independent entity with in the system
➢ This allows for testing, development, or training without affecting the
production environment.

2. Remote client copy (SCC9)
3. Client Import / Export (SCC8)

➢ Before you import a client, you need to export. Export is nothing but
transferring data files and co-files from source system’s database to
target system’s import buffer. Execute T-code SCC8.

client using SCC4. Log on to the source system/source client

➢ Once the job is executed data files and co-files of profiles from SKM system’s
database are transferred to DEV system’s import buffer.Once we will import
request in SKM only then it will be reflected in a database of SKM system.

Depending on the chosen export profile there can be up to transport requests created:

➢ Request SKMKT00002 will hold the cross-client data,

➢ Request SKMKO00002 will hold the client dependent data,

➢ Request SKMKX00002 will also hold some client dependent data.
