Additional SAP-MI environment via client copy

Question

Hi there. We need to set up an additional SAP-MI environment for UAT (User acceptance test). Can this be done by creating a new client (and using client copy
function) within the existing MI instance?
If so, what are the implications to J2EE engine? Could we use existing
Java stack and just create new JCo connections? Or would we need a new
Java stack? (Standalone or Add-in?).
Also, what are the implications to the back-end R/3 system (if any)?
Used versions:
SAP MI 2.5, SP18
Oracle 9.2.0.6
AIX 5.3
Thanks in advance,

Hi Benjamin,
As per my understanding as of now MI is not available in SIT system.Once MI is avaliable in SIT system, we need to move all the development objects into SIT system from DEV system.
There is an option of transporting all the objects from one system to other(in the same release NWO4 or NWO4S)(If all the development objects like tables,syncbos,bapis etc are stored in a package in DEV system..that package can be transported to SIT system..i am not sure how far it is going to be feasible..but for sure this is a good option you can try...then all the development objects will be present in SIT system and then we can deploy the application and test it)
Other wise if this transport is not possible then we need to re-create all the tables(objects) etc in SIT system same as in DEV system.
We can connect to multiple backend to one MI client..this should be possible.
Hope this is helpful to some extent
