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

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

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.

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.

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.

Client Copy and Partner Profiles

Hi,
I have a doubt related to client copy and how it will affect the partner profiles.
We have a client which has quite a lot of partner profiles defined in it. Now the problem is that the Basis team is planning to perform periodic client copies on this System which will copy the data from another client say 010 to the client in discussion. My doubt is, when this happens what will happen to the partner profiles that are already there in the target? Will it be lost resulting in we creating it all over again? if so is there anyway to get around this issue?
I would appreciate any kind of input on this issue.
Thanks
Praveen

as far as i know a client copy is based on some parameter say it can be client copy based on master data, client copy based on application data etc. I guess partner profile is an application data so in tht case if client copy is done in its context no data will be lost.
just my thought, but please confirm on this with a BASIS team or try a post in the forum for Adminstration and BASIS.

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..

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.

Dump "conne_import_wrong_comp_type" during client copy

Hi gurus!!
Last week I tried to run a client copy with SAP_CUST profile but the next dump was generated:
Runtime Error CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
Exception CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
Error when attempting to IMPORT object "TLINE".
What happened?
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
When attempting to import data, it was discovered that the data type of the stored data was not the same as that specified in the program.
Error analysis
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR',
was neither caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure "READ_TEXTLINES" "(FORM)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When importing the object "TLINE", the component no. 1 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLSTXD".
The data type is "N" in the dataset, but "C" in the program.
I checked that the report SAPLSTXD had not been changed and I can't found the reason of the error.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you very much in advanced.
Edorta.

Hi nick
I have already checked the note and executed the corresponding report and it shows an incorrect text filtering with the information extracted from the dump.
I have eliminated this wrong text in STXL and rescheduled the client copy for toningth. Tomorrow we will see the results.
Thank you very much in advanced,
Edorta.

Client Copy - Which source client 000 or 001?

I have a new SAP Netweaver 2004s SR1 ABAP+JAVA system with the following usage types:
SRM App
SRMLac
AS Java
AS ABAP
DI
MI
All the post-installation steps have been completed (including the CTC template configurations for DI and MI). The Java, DI, and MI have been configured against client 001. Now I want to create a new production client. The J2EE_ADMIN and users associated with DI and MI exist in client 001.
I want to create a new production client 010. Should I copy the users (SAP_USER) from client 001 and the customizing data (SAP_CUST) from client 000? Or, can I copy everything from client 001? There is a lot of conflicting information in the SAP Notes in regard to which source client to use.

You should not use a transport of copies for table USR02. Use client copy profile SAP_USER or SAP_UONL (without authorization profiles and roles).
And you should never copy customizing from client 001 to build up a new client. 001 happens to be a ordinary customer client which does not get supplied with changes SAP delivers after the release date. New SAP Netweaver 2004s installations use client 001 to file the user masters needed for the JAVA part. But this does not change the fact that client 001 is a customer client and should not be used as a template.
For local client copies you could use copy profile SAP_UCUS with source client 000 and source client user master 001 in one step. This has the same result as a client copy with SAP_CUST from 000 and SAP_UONL from 001 (i.e. thet authorization profiles and roles come from 000, when you need them from 001 you can either copy the missing individually or use SAP_ PROF in a separate step).

To copy Number Ranges in a client copy

Hello All,
I have to do a client copy of our Golden client ( Development) to Production system. The client in PRD is fresh. They do not want the application data to be copied to PRD client. They only need the customizing configs to be copied to PRD along with the number ranges. If i use the SAP_CUST profile to do client copy, it says that application data is deleted( which in my case is not existing as it is new client) and number ranges are RESET. What does it mean by "RESET"?
In my case, how can i copy the existing number ranges of my Golden Client to PRD client? Can i use SAP_CUST profile for copy? which profile can be used to copy number ranges? WIll the number range be copied along with cust configs using SAP_CUST? I am very confused. Please help me with this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Firstly, I am not agreeing with your point to do a copy from Development client to production client though it is a Fresh client. Why you are using this approach? You can do the transports of customization from development to production. This approach is not advisable. Please check it again before you proceed with this procedure.
As per my knowledge, number ranges has to be defined manually in any (production) systems. You can open the production client for changes and then create the number range and then close it.

Creation of production client copy

Hai,
What are the prerequisites for creation of client copy for production?
This is in regard to eleminate the default company codes existing in 000 client. In case if we opt for sap_cust the entire company code is copied.
Thanks
Hari Mohan

Hi,
you can not eliminate default company code while copying the client from 000 using SAP_CUST profile.

Client copy customizing data + master data

while i am performing client copy using SAP_UCUS,SAP_UCSV i used these two profiles but i am not getting master data .Please help me out in this friends.

Hi Sridhar,
SAP_UCUS is the profile which comes with client specific
customizing including auth.profile,the application data is
deleted and user data is retained.
SAP_CUSV is SAP_CUST with variants.
Go through the forum posts you may get more information....Also check the
existence of user master data in your client.Go through the [post|Client Copy for only SAP_CUST erasing master data of target client; .It might help you.
