Client Role

Hello everybody,
I confused about following client roll.
Test
Demo
Training/Education
SAP Reference
Please give some details information about the above client Role
Thanks

Hi Ganesh,
when a Client is being created..we decide as per in what way the client should be
used.we can know about a client by the settings and the role assigned to it.
If we use the client for customization ..we choose Development
for Quality testing we assign the role Test,if we are using it for
production-Production.
Below are the links which might help you ...understand about the client role.
Go through [site1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/6c/a74a3735a37273e10000009b38f839/content.htm] and [site2|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/2e/d9530294f911d283d40000e829fbbd/content.htm]
In this pages ..try to read about the client roles and their associated client settings..Hope this helps,

[jsr82] can a j2me app be a Bluetooth server and client role in parallel?

I want to make my j2me app register a special service channel and listen to it, meanwhile, I also want to start a client to connect to other handset which has the same services. In Bluetooth protocol side, this is obviously OK, but in J2me is this design possible? some people said that in jsr82, the Bluetooth device is exclusive for J2me app, app cannot be both server role and client role at the same time. Can anybody give me a definite answer?

No this design is not possible with JSR 82. Because when the device acts as a server it can't be used as a client as whenever you will run the client code the server mode will disappear.
But what maximum you can do is when you need the client to run close the server and switch into the client mode but I think you don't need this solution.

Regarding Client Role change in DEV system.

Hi All,
I had some requirement from SapHR they want to do some Holiday calender changes in Sap Level.
and we have only Test Role client in our Dev System. They want me to change the Client Role from Test to Customizing Client.
Kindly let me know if Client Role is changes from TEST to CUSTOMIZING. is there any inconsistany in TMS.
Thanks,
Abdul

Hi,
Run BDLS to change the source system assn. Then check to see if all your transfer structures are active and also your source system is now the correct one. Easiest way is to goto RSA7 on the src system and see where the system is pointing to.

Client Roles in a Three System Landscape

I initially post this Question in other forum:
Hi all,
We have a three system landscape. In the Development client, we have the Customizing Client, the Sandbox Cliet and a Training client. I have some questions about this configuration:
Acording to System and Client Settings - System Administration Assistant (BC-RRR) - SAP Library, Training client must be in Quality Assurance System, and it must be created by client copy from client QTST (it gets the transports from Custimizing). In this Training System we must create users for all our key-users to training. We must not create any user for key-users in sandbox client (this client is for the DEV team). is that ok?
What are the downsides of having out TRAINING client in the Development System?
Now, a consultant is asking me to open some modifications in the TRAINING client: He needs to load Exchange rates (OB08) in that client, but he is getting "Client is not modifiable". They are asking me to create users for key-users in the sandbox client and the training client.
I need to know if they are using the system in the right way. I dont want the system to become a mess.
I been reading this notes: SAP Note 356483. I don´t know what this means: "Now the corresponding Customizing object is no longer subject to the transport connection and is excluded from the changeability check. The change is active in all clients of the system. You can also change the Customizing object in a locked client (independent of the client role). However, now it is also no longer possible to manually transport entries of the view or table."
Aditional notes:
SAP Note 78329, sap kb 356483
Thanks for your help!
One person answere me this:
Hi
You should create your question in the appropriate area :
Software Logistics
The drawback of having training client in dev system is that it could be negatively impacted by ongoing changes performed in that system (custom program that are changed, not working...)
Some specific customizing changes can be set as current setting and thus can be modified without needing to open customizing but only if the client is set as productive.
There is also a way do deactivate modification recording of objects (aka deactivating the transport connection) but, if you apply this change for this activity/object, you won't be able any more to record change into transport orders
Regards
356483 - Customizing: Current settings in the test system
77430 - Customizing: Current settings

Hi Andres
I do not really now the exact impact, it might prevent some business data from being mass processed or overwritten...
I did had to deactivate the transport connection on specific objects/activities for some customers.
It depends on the frequency of that activity. I don't like to open the client to modification as you can sometime forget to close it back, and sometime also it gave the opportunity to other consultants to make changes that would create inconsistency among envt in the whole landscape.
At least activating the recording of changes could help in tracking the source of modifications
RZ10 => rec/client=ALL
STMS => RECCLIENT=ALL

Setting client role in non-production systems

In our QA test systems of R/3 and BW, the client role in SCC4 was set to 'Production'. The reason I was given is that by setting the client role to 'Production', will enable some settings in FI such as period closing,and customizing settings remain open without transportable requests. I totally disagree with this. I worked on numerous projects, but this is first time I am hearing this. I always set client role to Test in non-production systems, without any problems. Do any one have any idea about this?
Thanks
Santosh

SAP have a concept of "current settings". These include things like exchange rates and other items which really appear to be configuration settings. In a non-modifiable system these cannot be changed because the transport management system tries to get involved. If the client is set to productive, this restriction is overridden.
I would always suggest that the QA system should be set to productive and non-modifiable to ensure that the behaviour of the transactions affecting such objects can be tested in a production-like environment. If you need to have your QA system open for any sort of changes you are exposed to having changes introduced in QA to leading to the impression that new/modified functionality or config works but when the transport takes the unmodified version to production you'll be in trouble.

Setting Quality Assurance System Client role to Production

Good evening all.
I have had my customer ask if it would be possible to set the client role for our QA system to "Production". The reason for this is that a number of transactions that they perform within production require that the QA system be opened when they wish to try them first in QA.
Examples of the transactions are: KSC1, KSC2, KSU1, KSU2, OB52, OB08.
I know that changing the setting is possible, but what are the issues with doing this to the QA system? Is this something that shouldn't be done except when necessary, and if so why?
Thanks for your help!
Joe Johnson

Thanks for the answer, but I understand the process. I am looking to see what the implications for setting a QA environment to a production role would be, and what are the negatives of doing so.
The processes mentioned don't require that the production environment be opened, and the users would like to see the same for QA....
Thanks!

Can´t choose client role "Development" in scc4

I cant´t choose the client role "Dev" in the scc4.
How is the way to activate that?
Thanks.
Best,
Jens

It should show up as 'Customizing'. What release of NetWeaver are you using? Also, are you sure you supplied a non-production license in SLICENSE?

Importance of Client Role

Hello All,
Can any one explain me the importance of a client role in SAP. All clients in QTY are termed as "Test"/Training/Reference" and the ones in DEV are termed as Customizing etc. But what if i change a test to production ? How would it effect the system ? If it does not effect the system then why are these classifications provided in SCC4. can any one enlighten me on this topic.
Thanks for your answers and points are in for sure.
Rgds,
Sri

Hi Raghu,
Client in SAP represents a organization. Generally if you dont have a seperate quality system(which would be replica of your prd system) this would be used for testing, then we create a different client for testing inthe same develpoment system.
Basically in Development system we create a client in which you want to develop some customized applications and maintain some client specfic changes.

User Acceptance Client role setting

What are the pros and cons of setting the User Acceptance Test client role parameter to P (Production) rather than T (Test). I thought that it should be set to P to mirror the settings for the Production client. Note: settings found in T000 Table

If you set the client role to Production, then it will be counted as a productive client for licensing purposes by SAP. That could have a financial impact. Also, I think you are only supposed to have one productive client per installation number, though I don't know if this is an actual technical limitation.
You are correct that as a Test client there are a few things which will behave differently than in a Production client, but these are mostly immaterial for user acceptance testing purposes. For the vast majority of business functions, there will be no difference.
So, I would advise setting the client role to Test. Do set it to 'not modifiable,' however, so that changes are forced to be made via the transport system, the same as production, and thus generally keeping the configuration in better sync with Production.

Owb$client role

Hi,
I have a question regarding privileges which are necessary for OWB. I am not an OWB specialist, so hope someone can give me god advice here.
Our OWB setup is to have one 'technical' account for executing all OWB flows and mappings - this user is granted OWB Client roles and privileged i.e. OWB$Client, OWB_USER and OWB_DESIGNCENTER_VIEW roles and so called 'target' DB schemas where only data are stored with simple DB privs. like 'create table, view, procedure' etc.
This 'techincal' OWB user have on DB level all necessary privileges on objects in 'traget' DB schemas in order to execute procedures, manipulate data etc. This means that privilege resolution on DB level for this user works fine.
But, in order to execute OWB flows and mappings out of this 'technical' OWB user which are modofying data in our 'target' DB schemas our developer is requesting the 'target' DB schemas must be also granted OWB$Client, OWB_USER and OWB_DESIGNCENTER_VIEW role.
Is this really necessary? If yes, why?
many thanks,
goran

Hi Goran,
But, in order to execute OWB flows and mappings out of this 'technical' OWB user
As I understand you developers plan to execute mappings under target user. In this case their requirement is justified.
Regards,
Oleg
P.S. In my opinion direct granting privileges to OWB-related database users is a bad practice.
The only legal and documented way for configuring OWB is using OWB utilities (like Repository Assistant, Design Center etc. - look at OWB Administrator guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31080_01/doc/install.102/b28224/security.htm#BGBEBFEG)

Test client role = P ? Is this a mistake?

In our QA systems there are clients that are shown in table T000 as CCCATEGORY=P.
As understand this is designating a client in the test system as having a "production" role.
Is there any good reason to do this or is this a mistake?

It's fine. because you should be able to simulate things in QAS like that in PRD.

New client roles and profiles not being recognized in CUA

We recently did a client copy and I am trying to add roles and/or profiles to users, but CUA does not recognize either. When I choose "Text comparison from child sys." I get an error message for that new client that says, "User has not RFC authoriation for function group SUU6." Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Better assign SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW or any other role containing highest authorizations to the communication id
No, it's not better. It's a bad practice assigning SAP_ALL to communication users. It's a violation of Principle of Least Privilege. You should also use SAP_NEW just for limited period of time. SAP provides a role for this purpose. It's mentioned in CUA cookbook. There is a recent post from Julius on this forum about removing SAP_ALL from the system. It has some info why SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW are not supposed to used.

Multiple clients with role production

Dear SAP experts,
Is it possible to assign the client role "production" (in scc4) to multiple clients in 1 instance. If the answer is yes then how can it be done because if I try to do it via ssc4 i get an error that there already is a production client..
I have searched the forum, SAPNET and googled but I could not find a definitive answer.
Thanks for your patience and answers.
Regards
Dirk Visser

Hi all,
I discovered that it can be done. Just set the role to production and ignore the warning.

Config for Production client

Dear all,
I'm a new basis and now I'm working in big project ERP. I have a disturbed about config for Production client.
In scc4 we must set client role is Production and No change allowed for Objects. But in production some time we need do Open and Close Period, or change following business requirement, ... This is not allowed to do in Production client.
How do we config for Production client to cover this requirements ?
Do we need a config client for maintain Production client ? Example: Production client is 500, Config client is 100. When we need Open or Close Period or change anything, we do in 100 and transfer request to 500.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Thanh.

You can customize transaction to be executable although the setting in SCC4 is "productive", this is accomplished by using transaction SOBJ:
Note 1497640 - Open and close periods in productive client
You can theoretically put every customizing view there and make it "executable" in a production system.
