BDLS - Client Independent Table

Hi All,
When I execute BDLS, there are two options there, one is conversion of client dependent and independent tables and the second is conversion of client dependent only.
In a BW system, what are the differences of these two options and which one should be used after system copy ?
I can't understand from the standard documentations provided.
Please share. Thanks.

Hi,
See the following SAP Notes:
SAP Note 886102 - System Landscape Copy for SAP NetWeaver BW
SAP Note 325470 - Activities after client copy in BW source systems
SAP Note 325525 - Copying and renaming systems in a BW environment
SAP Note 1333302 - Special procedure for BW system copy
SAP Note 996238 - Dump 'RFC connection error' after BW system copy

How to get all the client independent tables in SCM

Hi Guys,
I want to know all the client independent table is SCM. Can you guys help me please.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Generally, Data of SAP system control data, language indicators, and transaction
codes are stored in client independent tables.
A table attribute in the Data Dictionary indicates whether a table is client-specific
or client-independent.

Client independant tables

How could I find client independant tables? Can anyone name the most important cross client tables? Which functionalities they cover?
Thank you in advance

Tina,
The client-dependent (or non cross client) tables are mostly the ones related to bussiness data (master, application data) and customizing, also user master data with authorizations, variants.
The client-independent tables are mostly the ones related with Basis (configurations that apply to all clients) and very specific customizing in some modules, dont know exactly which ones but maybe in the Functional Forum they can tell you if you need it.
Hope it helps you,
Jessica.

Difference between client dependent table and client independent table

hi all,
i m new in sap pls tell me the difference between client dependent table and client independent table.
tell me in detail.
thanks and regards
vikas saini

HI
Client dependent Means if you create that data in one client is limited to that client only and it is not accessable in other clients
Like SAP SCRIPTS and STD texts data
where as Client Independent means the data if you create in one client that is available in that as well as in other clients
Like SMARTFORMS, All dictionary Objects data and Repository objects data like Programs, Fun modules, tables etc..
There is no specific reason behind why scripts are client dep[endent and smartforms are client independent!!!
As for SAP -- Scripts are called client dependent because if you create client in say,200 it would be available in that only.If you want to test the script in client 300 then it won't be there,you will have to go to transaction se71 in 300 .Then Utilities-> Copy from client.Give the source as 200 & form name(i.e. script name) & copy.
Few more reasons why....? Please read below:
SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s.SAPscript forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively passive objects, with minimal embedded logic. These forms were designed to be driven and controlled by ABAP programs, much in the way ABAP programs read in database tables to produce reports;
if you ever download a SAPscript form (e.g., via utility program RSTXSCRP), and look at the portable text file it produces you'll see what I mean.
Many text objects (e.g., invoice header texts) are bound directly to documents which are client-dependent, so it makes sense for these text objects to also be client-dependent. From a complexity standpoint, SAPscript forms are close enough to these text objects where I can see how it made sense at the time to make them client-dependent too.

Client Independent tables

Hello,
I have a following situation.
We have two clients in development server. Table TAB1 has client as primary key so we have say 100 records in client 1 & 200 records in client 2.
I would like to remove client field & make table TAB1 as client independent.
What will happen with data when I will adjust the database table, if i select KEEP data option?
How many records TAB1 will have ?
300 records (100 + 200)
OR
100 + delta between 100 & 200
Any help would be appriciated
Regards,
Sunil Joyous

hi Sunil,
you have to run Database Uitlity (SE14) and it will clean up your data acc. to the new table key. This means, if there is any duplication between the two clients, the duplicate entries will be deleted automtically (i. e. reduced to one entry).
Just give it a try!
hope this helps

Client independent and dependent tables

Hi,
Is there any report or program to get list of all client independent and dependent tables from a client in sap ECC6.0 ?

Check the table DD02L and the field CLIDEP. If its set as X they are client dependent tables else client independent tables.

Client Independent & client dependent tables

Hello,
Can anyone please tell me what is client dependent and client independent tables?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Srini

In SAP, highest level of organisation structure is client which you are entering at the time of log-in itself.
In most of the tables are client dependant where first column is client (MANDT) by default and entry in that field is complusory. so that is client dependant table.
There are few tables which are client independents, effect of any change in this table will affect all the clients. In that table client field is not there.
Whenever you making any change in value of such table, system will give you message that "this is client independance, whether you want to change it".
Hope it is clear.

Client dependent & client independent objects

Hi All,
What is meant by client independent & client dependent ?
I know that sapscripts are client dependent while smartfiorms are client independent. Also reports & FMs are client independent.
Want to have a better idea on this concept....
Thanks in advance..
Sweta

If you create a table in 010 client in DEV server with CLNT as its first fields type, then you will find that table structure in all clients in DEV server. (i.e client independent)
example: function module, abap program, smart form.
If you create a record in that table in 010 client, you will not find that record in other clients. (i.e client dependent)
Example: script.
Sap script was developed a long back.
smartform is developed to avoid these type of some restrictions
Also:
Client dependent Means if you create that data in one client is limited to that client only and it is not accessable in other clients
Like SAP SCRIPTS and STD texts data
where as Client Independent means the data if you create in one client that is available in that as well as in other clients

MANDT is the field which differenciates the table from Client Dependent and Client Independent Tables.
All the Scripts are Client Dependent Objects
Smart Forms, Function Modules are Client Independent Objects.

Significance of client specific and client indeprndent table

Hi I am new to SAP world.
I have just joined SAP-ABAP training.
Plz let me know significance of client specific and client indeprndent table.
Can we make client independent table in SAP IDES software.
Is their any client independent table in SAP inbuilt tables .
Thanks

hi,
A table can be either client-specific (applying only to a single client) or client-independent (applying to all clients in the SAP system).
· Client-independent tables
Client-independent tables contain data of general relevance, for example, SAP system control data, language indicators, and transaction codes.
· Client-specific tables
Data which only applies to one client is stored in client-specific tables. Examples of client-specific tables are tables containing application data, tables containing information about the structure of a company, and, with a limited number of exceptions (for example, language indicators), tables containing basic commercial data.
A table attribute in the Data Dictionary indicates whether a table is client-specific or client-independent (see also "Creating a Table Structure" in the ABAP/4 Dictionary guide). In client-specific tables, the client is always entered in the first key position.
hope this is helpful.
pls reward if helpful.

Client Dependent & Client Independent

Hi
How can I identify Client Dependent & Client Independent Data ?
Thanks
Christine

Hi,
There are two types of objects in SAP, client dependent and client independent.
Objects used in several clients are called client independent while objects used in a specific client is called client dependent. To identify if a table is client dependent, one can use tcodes SE11 or SE12. In the table field attributes, if the MANDT field is present that table is client dependent.
A client-dependent table has the field MANDT of data type CLNT, which indicates Client id.
A client-independent table does not have this field.
Data which can be access by all user are client independent (no mandt field in table). Data which can be access by some specific user are client dependent (use mandt field in table)

Stop recording - Client independent

Hi,
I understand that when we set client to stop recording through SCC4 it stops recording Client dependent stuff.
But is it possible to stop recording of client independent changes!
Please suggest.

Use of client dependent tables

Hi Gurus,
I have read many threads on difference between client dependent and independent data/objects etc.
But, someone tell me please, wheat exactly the 'Use or Advantage' of client dependent tables/data.
Thanks in advance.
V

HI,
The use of client dependent tables is that if data in one table of a particular client is updated then that data wont be seen in any other clent it provides a security to the data we retrict users with their authorizations in differen clients
When you log on to an SAP System, you log on to a particular client of this system. Any activities you carry out in the system are always carried out in one client. When you plan your SAP system landscape, you must consider which clients you need for which activities.
By assigning activities to be performed in a client, you give each client a particular role. This section describes the most important client roles.
Since you need to adapt the SAP software for your own business needs, each SAP system landscape requires a client where Customizing settings, and possibly ABAP Workbench developments, can be made. This client is known as the Customizing and development client, or Customizing client for short. The abbreviation CUST is used for this client.
Before you can use the Customizing settings and Workbench developments productively, you need to test them extensively for errors. Any faulty settings can seriously disrupt productive operations, and at worst, lead to the loss of productive data. The integrated nature of the various SAP applications means that there are many dependencies between the different Customizing settings. Even an experienced Customizing developer may not discover these dependencies immediately. The correctness of the settings can only be guaranteed with extensive testing. The client where these tests are made is the Quality Assurance Client, QTST for short.
A separate client is required for productive use of the SAP System. So that this client can be used without disruption, it is essential that no Customizing settings or Workbench developments are made here, and also that no tests are carried out. This client is known as the Production Client, PROD for short.
These three clients, CUST, QTST and PROD, are the central clients that exist in every system landscape. Standard system landscapes have precisely one client for each of these client roles.
We recommend that you make all your Customizing settings in a single Customizing client, and then use the CTS to transport them to the other clients.
We also recommend that you do not make any Customizing settings or Workbench developments in the quality assurance or production clients. You can make sure of this by making appropriate client settings.
In addition to the central clients, you can also set up other clients for other tasks. However, you must remember that each extra client takes up additional system resources (main memory and database space). They also need to be administrated. For example, you need to set up and administrate access authorization for the users, and also distribute any changes to other clients with the CTS. You must weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of setting up other clients.
Examples of other client roles are:
Development test client (TEST): Developers can use this client to test their Customizing settings and Workbench developments, before they release their change requests. In this client the developers can create test application data for realistic tests. If they discover errors, they can remove them in the Customizing client. A development test client is always set up in the same SAP System as the Customizing client. This means that any changes that are made to cross-client data in the Customizing client are also immediately visible in the development test client. Changes to client-specific data are copied from the Customizing client to the development test client using a special client copy function. The client copy function uses the unreleased change requests from the Customizing client to do this. The development test client is set so that you cannot make changes to Customizing data and Repository objects.
Prototype or sandbox client (SAND): You can use this client to test any client-specific Customizing settings if you are not sure whether you want to use them in this form. Any settings that you want to keep are then entered in the Customizing client. To prevent conflicts between the prototype client settings and real settings in the Customizing client, you cannot make changes to cross-client Customizing data and Repository objects in the prototype client. The CTS does not record changes made to client-specific Customizing data, and does not transport them from the prototype client. You can make sure of this by making appropriate client settings.
Training client (TRNG): To prepare end users for new functions that are to be transported into the production client, you can set up a training client. The users can use the new functions in this client with specially created application data. This client is set so that you cannot make changes to Customizing data and Repository objects.'''
