WHAT IS A CLIENT

• A CLIENT IN SAP IS A SELF-CONTAINED, INDEPENDENT UNIT WITHIN AN SAP SYSTEM THAT HOLDS ITS OWN
MASTER DATA, USER DATA, CONFIGURATIONS, AND TRANSACTIONAL DATA. IT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF DATA
ISOLATION IN SAP AND ENABLES MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONAL UNITS OR ENVIRONMENTS (LIKE DEVELOPMENT,
TESTING, AND PRODUCTION) TO OPERATE WITHIN A SINGLE SAP INSTALLATION.

• DURING SAP SYSTEM INSTALLATION, THREE DEFAULT CLIENTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY CREATED: 000, 001, AND 066.
EACH SERVES A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. CLIENT 000 IS THE STANDARD REFERENCE CLIENT PROVIDED BY SAP. IT
CONTAINS DEFAULT CONFIGURATION, CLIENT-INDEPENDENT DATA, AND SYSTEM SETTINGS. IT IS USED MAINLY FOR
REFERENCE AND SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED. CLIENT 001 IS A COPY OF CLIENT 000 WITH ADDITIONAL
CUSTOMIZING SETTINGS AND IS USED AS A TEMPLATE FOR CREATING NEW CLIENTS. IT CAN BE MODIFIED SAFELY.
CLIENT 066 IS USED BY SAP FOR EARLY WATCH SERVICES, ENABLING SYSTEM MONITORING AND PERFORMANCE
ANALYSIS.
LOGICAL SYSTEM
WHAT IS A LOGICAL SYSTEM?
• A LOGICAL SYSTEM REPRESENTS A UNIQUE CLIENT IN AN SAP SYSTEM OR IN AN EXTERNAL SYSTEM. IT IS
REQUIRED FOR CLIENT COPY, ALE COMMUNICATION, AND DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN SYSTEMS.
PURPOSE:
• IDENTIFY THE SOURCE AND TARGET SYSTEMS DURING CLIENT COPY OR DATA EXCHANGE.
• ENSURE DATA CONSISTENCY AND UNIQUENESS.
CREATION OF LOGICAL SYSTEM
• T-CODE: SALE OR BD54
• GO TO T-CODE: BD54 (OR SALE → BASIC SETTINGS → LOGICAL SYSTEMS → DEFINE LOGICAL SYSTEM).
• CLICK NEW ENTRIES.
• ENTER A LOGICAL SYSTEM NAME (E.G., DEVCLNT200) AND A DESCRIPTION.
• SAVE YOUR ENTRIES.
CLIENT CREATION
T-CODE: SCC4

STEPS:

• GO TO T-CODE: SCC4 – CLIENT ADMINISTRATION.

• CLICK ON "NEW ENTRIES".

• FILL IN THE FOLLOWING:


• CLIENT NUMBER (E.G., 200)
• CLIENT NAME/DESCRIPTION (E.G., DEVELOPMENT CLIENT)
• CITY (OPTIONAL)
• LOGICAL SYSTEM (SELECT THE ONE YOU CREATED IN BD54)
• CLIENT ROLE (E.G., CUSTOMIZING, TEST, PRODUCTION)
• CHANGES ALLOWED (SET BASED ON YOUR SECURITY POLICY)

• SAVE THE CLIENT ENTRY


CLIENT DELETION
• T-CODE: SCC5

STEPS TO DELETE A CLIENT:

• LOGIN TO THE CLIENT THAT YOU WANT TO DELETE.


(EXAMPLE: IF YOU WANT TO DELETE CLIENT 200, LOG INTO CLIENT 200)

• GO TO T-CODE: SCC5.

• ENTER THE CLIENT NUMBER IN THE SELECTION SCREEN.


(IT SHOULD MATCH THE CLIENT YOU ARE LOGGED INTO.)

• CHOOSE DELETION OPTIONS:

• DELETE CLIENT-SPECIFIC TABLES

• OPTION TO KEEP OR DELETE LOGS

• SELECT THE OPTION TO RUN IN BACKGROUND

• CLICK EXECUTE (F8).

• MONITOR THE DELETION PROCESS USING T-CODE: SCC3.


WHAT IS CLIENT COPY?

• CLIENT COPY IS THE PROCESS OF COPYING DATA FROM ONE SAP CLIENT TO
ANOTHER WITHIN THE SAME SYSTEM OR ACROSS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. IT IS USED TO
CREATE NEW CLIENTS OR REFRESH EXISTING CLIENTS BY TRANSFERRING REQUIRED
DATA SUCH AS CUSTOMIZING SETTINGS, MASTER DATA, AND TRANSACTIONAL DATA.
• TYPES OF CLIENT COPIES
1.LOCAL CLIENT COPY
2. REMOTE CLIENT COPY
3. CLIENT EXPORT AND IMPORT
LOCAL CLIENT COPY

• LOCAL CLIENT COPY IS THE PROCESS OF COPYING DATA FROM ONE CLIENT TO
ANOTHER WITHIN THE SAME SAP SYSTEM. IT IS COMMONLY USED TO CREATE A NEW
CLIENT OR REFRESH AN EXISTING CLIENT WITH DATA FROM A SOURCE CLIENT ON THE
SAME SYSTEM.
• LOG IN TO THE SAP SYSTEM.

• ENTER T-CODE SCCL IN THE COMMAND FIELD AND PRESS ENTER.

• IN THE LOCAL CLIENT COPY SCREEN, ENTER THE SOURCE CLIENT NUMBER (THE CLIENT FROM WHICH DATA WILL
BE COPIED).

• ENTER THE TARGET CLIENT NUMBER (THE CLIENT TO WHICH DATA WILL BE COPIED).

• SELECT THE COPY PROFILE DEPENDING ON YOUR REQUIREMENT:


• SAP_ALL – FULL CLIENT COPY (CUSTOMIZING, MASTER, TRANSACTIONAL DATA)
• SAP_CUST – ONLY CUSTOMIZING DATA
• SAP_UCUS – CUSTOMIZING AND USER MASTER DATA

• CHOOSE WHETHER TO RUN THE COPY IN BACKGROUND OR FOREGROUND.


(BACKGROUND IS RECOMMENDED FOR LARGE COPIES.)

• CLICK START (EXECUTE) TO BEGIN THE CLIENT COPY PROCESS.

• MONITOR THE PROGRESS AND REVIEW THE LOGS AFTER COMPLETION FOR ANY ERRORS.
REMOTE CLIENT COPY

• WHAT IS REMOTE CLIENT COPY?

REMOTE CLIENT COPY IS THE PROCESS OF COPYING DATA FROM A CLIENT IN ONE SAP SYSTEM TO A CLIENT IN A
DIFFERENT SAP SYSTEM. IT IS USED FOR CLIENT MIGRATION, SYSTEM REFRESHES, OR SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN
SYSTEMS (E.G., FROM DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM TO QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM
STEP 1: CREATE RFC CONNECTION

• LOG IN TO THE TARGET SAP SYSTEM (WHERE YOU WANT TO COPY THE CLIENT DATA).

• GO TO T-CODE: SM59 (RFC DESTINATION).

• CLICK CREATE TO SET UP A NEW RFC CONNECTION.

• ENTER A CONNECTION NAME (E.G., SRC_SYS_CLIENT).

• CHOOSE CONNECTION TYPE: 3 (ABAP CONNECTION).

• FILL IN THE TARGET SYSTEM DETAILS:


• TARGET HOST (APPLICATION SERVER)
• SYSTEM NUMBER
• CLIENT NUMBER
• USER AND PASSWORD (SAP USER WITH PROPER AUTHORIZATIONS)

• SAVE AND TEST THE CONNECTION BY CLICKING TEST CONNECTION.


STEP 2: PERFORM REMOTE CLIENT COPY

• LOG IN TO THE TARGET SAP SYSTEM.

• ENTER T-CODE: SCC9.

• ON THE SELECTION SCREEN, ENTER:


• SOURCE SYSTEM: ENTER THE RFC DESTINATION NAME YOU CREATED IN SM59.
• SOURCE CLIENT: ENTER THE CLIENT NUMBER OF THE SOURCE SYSTEM.
• TARGET CLIENT: ENTER THE CLIENT NUMBER IN THE TARGET SYSTEM WHERE DATA WILL BE COPIED.

• SELECT THE CLIENT COPY PROFILE:


• SAP_ALL FOR FULL COPY.
• SAP_CUST FOR CUSTOMIZING DATA ONLY.
• SAP_UCUS FOR CUSTOMIZING AND USER MASTER DATA.

• CHOOSE TO RUN THE COPY IN FOREGROUND OR BACKGROUND (BACKGROUND RECOMMENDED FOR LARGE COPIES).

• CLICK EXECUTE (F8) TO START THE COPY.

• MONITOR THE PROGRESS AND CHECK THE LOGS FOR ERRORS.


CLIENT EXPORT / IMPORT IN SAP

• CLIENT EXPORT/IMPORT IS A PROCESS USED TO MOVE A CLIENT COMPLETELY FROM


ONE SAP SYSTEM TO ANOTHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN SYSTEMS ARE NOT DIRECTLY
CONNECTED OR WHEN LARGE DATA TRANSFER IS REQUIRED. IT INVOLVES EXPORTING
THE CLIENT DATA TO FILES AND THEN IMPORTING THOSE FILES INTO THE TARGET
SYSTEM.
STEPS FOR CLIENT EXPORT:
• LOG IN TO THE SOURCE SAP SYSTEM (CLIENT TO BE EXPORTED).
• GO TO T-CODE: SCC8.
• ENTER THE CLIENT NUMBER TO EXPORT.
• CHOOSE THE EXPORT OPTIONS AND SPECIFY THE EXPORT DIRECTORY (SERVER FILE
PATH).
• START THE EXPORT PROCESS.
(EXPORT CREATES DATA FILES IN THE SPECIFIED DIRECTORY.)
• MONITOR THE EXPORT LOGS FOR ANY ERRORS.
STEPS FOR CLIENT IMPORT
• TRANSFER THE EXPORTED CLIENT DATA FILES TO THE TARGET SAP SYSTEM’S SERVER
DIRECTORY.
• LOG IN TO THE TARGET SAP SYSTEM.
• GO TO T-CODE: SCC7.
• ENTER THE TARGET CLIENT NUMBER WHERE DATA WILL BE IMPORTED.
• SPECIFY THE IMPORT DIRECTORY WHERE THE EXPORT FILES ARE LOCATED.
• START THE IMPORT PROCESS.
• MONITOR THE IMPORT LOGS FOR ERRORS OR WARNINGS
