Client Copy Using Client Export/Import

Hi Everyone,
This is regarding Client Copy Using Client Export/Import Method. We have two system Production and Development system. Iam planning to do a client copy from from PRD to DEV. I know most of the steps to perform Client Copy.I have some doubhts So if some one can please help me out i would really appreciate it.
!) I want to know which user should be used to perfrom Client Export ?
2) I want to know know which user to be used to perform Client delete?
3) Is there any particular USER who is recommended to perform Client Copy or any USER can do it?
4) After the Client Delete Procedure thorugh SCC5 ..to get back the client space we do Reorganization ? can anyone plzz tell me what are the tables that i need to reorganize or if anyone can provide me the steps for Reorganization i would be really thankful.
Waiting For your Replies
Best Regards

Hi Mohammed,
1)I want to know which user should be used to perfrom Client Export ?
You can use your personal defined on the system UserID.
2) I want to know know which user to be used to perform Client delete?
Same as above, just make sure you have an account on the client and you log on to the right client
3) Is there any particular USER who is recommended to perform Client Copy or any USER can do it?
I am not aware that you should use a particular user. I have been doing copies/deletions with my UserID, as system administrator.
4) After the Client Delete Procedure thorugh SCC5 ..to get back the client space we do Reorganization ? can anyone plzz tell me what are the tables that i need to reorganize or if anyone can provide me the steps for Reorganization i would be really thankful.
Reorganization ( I personally) use SAPDBA tool. However -if you use ORACLE, there are other alternatives as well. What is your DB vendor? I will append more info in a bit.

The problem you have is, that your TEMP tablespace is too small on the target system, you need to increase it.

System copy using R3load ( Export / Import )

Hi,
We are testing System copy using R3load ( Export / Import ) using our production data.
Environment : 46C / Oracle.
while executing export, it takes more than 20 hours, for the data to get exported, we want to reduce the export time drastically. hence, we want to achieve it by scrutinizing the input parameters.
during export, there is a parameter by name splitting the *.STR and *.EXT files for R3load.
the default input for the above parameter is No, do not split STR and EXT files.
My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
Best Regards
L Raghunahth

Hi
The time of the export depends on the size of your database (and the size of your biggest tables) and your hardware capacity.
My question 1 : If we input yes instead of No and split the *.STR and *.EXT files, will the export time get reduced ?
In case you have a few very large tables, and you have multiple cpu's and a decent disk storage, then splitting might significantly reduce the export time.
My Question 2: If the answer is yes to Question 1, will the time reduced will be significant enough ? or how much percentage of time we can expect it to reduce, compare to a No Input.
As you did not tell us about your database size and hardware details there is no way to give you anything but very basic metrics. Did you specify a parallel degree at all, was your hardware idling for 20 hrs or fully loaded already?
20 hrs for a 100gb database is very slow. It is reasonable (rather fast in my opinion) for a 2tb database.
Best regards, Michael

Differences between Remote Client copy and Client export and Import

Dear All, I am new to SAP. Please let me know the Differences between Remote Client copy and Client export and Import. Any response is greatly appreciated. Thanks a Million

Hello Mallikarjuna,
Follow the below note,
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/552711
which describes the answer to question - Which is better or faster, a client transport or a remote copy?
Basically client transport would be preferred if the network connection between the source and target system is slow.

Client copy using SAP_CUST profile

Hi
I have a requirement to copy the Production client (customization only) to Dev-100 customization client (Already existing with customization). Since the production system is having the latest customization settings,my func team wants to copy the production system customization to Dev customization client.
My system config (SAP R/3 4.6C, Oracle 8i, HP UX 11i)
Requirement: PRD 500 --> DEV 100 (Client copy using SAP_CUST)
I have planned the activity as below,
1. Create a backup client in Dev system ... Dev 110 as a copy of Dev100 (Perform a SCCL with SAP_ALL profile of DEV 100)
2. Export SAP_CUST from PRD 500
3. Del Dev100 and import 500 to Dev 100
My doubt is,
1. Whether it is mandatory to delete Dev client 100 before importing PRD client 500?
2. If we import the PRD client in to Dev without deleting, will the data consistency be maintained? ( Profile is SAP_CUST)
3. How long will be the export and import of SAP_CUST will run on an average(Any ways to find the number of tables that get exported when we use SAP_CUST profile?)
4. Any post import activity to be performed after SAP_CUST import?
Please share your experience on this regard. Also, please clarify whether my approach to the requirement is correct or not.
regards,
Vinodh.

Hi Vinod,
1. No need to delete client 100 in Dev system. If you copy SAP_CUST profile from PRD system the Production Only customising data will be over written by existing data in DEV.
2.Data cpnsistency will be maintained and you can monitor the entire process using SCC3. Here you can monitor how many table copied and how much % of data copied.
3. As pawan said Please lock all users in DEV system except your user as apreinstallation activity and start client copy. Once you done with that Unlock all users and SGEN to generate nulily created object and to increase system performance.
4. The time take for complition will be depend on you data you are coping.
Before start Client copy follow pre requisites and start.
Follow below link for clarification of your doubts and for pre requisites

Client copy using SCC1

Dear friends
I have a bunch of requests, need to go for client copy using SCC1,
Using scc1 only once request can be copied, is there anyother way to copy a bunch of request using SCC1/or other tcode at one go
Regards
Kiran

Hi,
you use SCC1 can transport more than one request,
at the field of the "transport request" , you use F4 ,then pop up "select request/task" sub window, then you can selecet your own request, or input several request.

Possible to use stsadm export / import to copy subsite to the same site with diff subsite name?

In the same site is that possible to use stsadm export/import to copy subsite to a new diff subsite name?
I do not want to use the SaveAs Template method, I need command mode.

You should create an empty site.
Go to your site collection and click siteactions --> new site --> Select custom template, click create.
Here you choose meeting2 as Title/url
Now execute your import command (Import-SPWeb http://vee:111/meeting2 -Path
C:\temp\meeting_exp.cmp -UpdateVersions -Overwrite)
Now wait, when the import is finished, check your site!
That should do it.

Advantages and Dsadvantages of Remote Client Copy over Client Transport...

Can anybody explain the Advantages and Dsadvantages of Remote Client Copy over Client Transport...
Thanks in Advance

Advantages of Remote client copy over client transport
1. Client-specific data as well as cross-client customizing can be copied to the target client, this is not the same in client transport.
2. The prerequisites for performing a remote client copy are that an RFC connection has to exist whereas client transport do not need RFC connection
3. The copy can be performed in parallel with several processes.
4. Remote client copy automatically performs a consistency check on the tables being copied,for client transport performance check need to be done.
5. A remote client copy is easy to use and does not require file system space on
operating system level whereas Client transport require lot of space as files are created at OS level.
Disadv
1. A remote client copy does not create a file at the operating system level,
so there is no hard copy of the client to be copied. Therefore, the same,
identical client copy cannot be duplicated at a later time.Client transport creates import and export files at Os levels
2. To be able to copy all data during the client copy, the structures of all copied
tables in both systems must be identical.
3. An automatic repository consistency check is performed in Remote client copy and if inconsistencies are detected, the client copy is terminated and an error message is displayed.
4. You cannot copy the remote client data and use it whereas in client transport you can copy the files in a cd (like import files, export files)

Archiving contents using 'Self Export/Import'

Hi,
We are trying to just archive the documents uploaded to the content server to specific place in the same server (not using migrating functionality).
Is it possible to handle this case using “Self Export/Import” functionality?
Or can we use "Content Tracker -> Reduce data" option?
can you explain us how to do this task.
Thank you
Edited by: Nir on Sep 2, 2011 7:07 AM

Consider Disk space and or where your Archives directory is located.
Sometimes people set up their Vault and Weblayout directories to be on the shared disk and forget to move the Archives directory to a shared location with lots of space. If it is not moved it is in the same file structure as the core CS files and the disk space allotted there may not be big (in some customer cases) and filling that disk may stop your server.
Just a consideration.

Data migration from one DEV(DE1) system to other DEV(DE2) BW system using client copy or client export import

HI SAP Gurus,
Please find the below details:
SAP NetWeaver 7.3
We have to copy all customized or developed BW objects like master data, DSO's , Infocubes , Reports etc.
We need only the design changes but not the data within the DSO or cubes that exist .
We have tried below procedure:
1) Taken export of DE1 source client 400 with profile SAP_CUST
2) Imported transports generated for above export into DE2 target client 350.
3) Executed transaction SCC3 and performed post processing, post processing was successful . Still we are not able to see DSO's, infocubes ,reports.
Please lets us know what we need to do to fulfill our requirement.
Thanks,
Avadhesh

Hi Basis,
Please refer to below documentation on how to perform system copy in BI systems
How to System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes (NW2004)
Post processing steps for SAP BW system copy or db copy
BI systems has mostly cross client objects. So client copy with SAP_CUST profile will not serve your purpose.
Hope this helps.

Client copy using export

can we perform client export for a local client copy(e.g) in DEv system i need a client 500 .i can perform local client copy from 100 but can i do it through export as both clients are in same system.

Hi,
There is an option for Client TRANSPORT which will help you perhaps:
A client transport differs from a remote client copy in that it does not use RFC. Like a remote client copy, however, a client transport is used to copy data between different R/3 Systems.
A client transport consists of two steps. First, a client export extracts client data from the source client to files at the operating system level. Second, the data is imported from the operating systemfiles into the target client.
To perform a client export, proceed as follows:
Log on to the source client. From the R/3 initial screen, choose:
*Tools *(r) *Administration *(r) *Administration *(r) *Client Admin. *(r) Client Transport(r) Client Export. Select the data to be copied using a profile.
Indicate the target system to which the client will be copied. (The target system must be defined in TMS as part of the transport domain.)
Begin the client export. As copying is a lengthy process, use scheduled background processing. The client export performed in the source system <S-SID>, exports the client data asynchronously bycalling the transport program tp at the operating system level. This export process will generate up to
3 data files at operating system level:
. RT< number >; this file contains client-specific data
. RO< number >; this file contains Cross-client data
. RX< number >; this file contains SAPscript texts
Depending on the type of data selected through the client transport profile, the client copy command
files added to the buffer of the target system are
<S-SID>KO<number>; this file is for cross-client data
<S-SID>KT<number>; this file is for client-specific data
<S-SID>KX<number>; this file is also for client-specific data
The client export change requests are not imported when an Import all takes place. Therefore, you must import these requests into the target client using TMS. You must import the data in the following order: first cross-client data, then client- specific data.
After the import process has completed, post-import activities are required possible for object generation steps. After completing the import, log on to the target client. From the R/3 initial screen, choose:
*Tools *(r) *Administration *(r) *Administration *(r) *Client Admin. *(r) *Client Transport *(r) ImportEditing
To display client transport logs, use the Transport Organizer.During client transport, a Repository consistency check can be performed by clicking the RFC system check button in Transaction SCC8. If inconsistencies are detected, a list of the ABAP Dictionary tables definitions missing in the target system is generated. This will help your recognize in advance formal problems that may occur during the import of the source data.
Reward Points if useful

Restarting client copy using STMS

Hi,
Our client copy has terminated because of ORA-1632 ,max extents increase and we would like to restart it at the point of failure. We started the import from STMS in SAP, where is the option to restart the import.
I think in STMS there is no option to restart but if we restart will it take such a long time or will check whether the previous imports have been completed and skip those steps..
Pls help..
Regds,

System copy via SAPINST (Export/Import)

Hello!
We are using SAP ERP EHP4 system on Windows with SAP MaxDB (Version: 7.7.07.09).
We would like to copy this productive system to QAS system.
Therefore we successfully run SAPINST (with running db and sap, because we cannot stop productive system) with option Export and have currently an valid export of productive system.
After we read several sap notes (such as 1014782, 129352) we found that the system copy procedure Backup/Restore will be recomended.
Questions
1) Can we still copy productive system via export and import option with SAPINT?
1a) Should/must the SAP Max DB instance be installed before runing SAPINT on the target server?
1b) Which SAP MaxDB version should be installed on the target server?
Has some one experience with system copy of SAP systems with SPA MaxDB via Export/Import?
It will be great to get some answers or recommendation.
