Doubt in Client Copy Scenario !!

Hello Gurus
I am in a situation where the inputs from the experts help me to solve this issue.
Scenario:
Development ECC 6.0 System with 100 (Golden) & 110 (Development) clients available.
Industry Best Practices installed and activated in 110 Development client, and the 100 Golden client does not have the Best Practices scenarios available as we did not do a client copy from 110 -> 100 before we released the system for configuration and development.
Now there is already some configuration done on 100 (Golden) by Func. Cons. and they need the same scenarios to be available in 100 (Golden) now.
What is best way to copy the client from 110 -> 100 and the client 100 (Golden) should have all the configuration available along with Transport Requests.
Can experts throw some light here to solve my problem.
Appreciate your early responses.
Thanks
Sri

Hi,
I dont understand wht u mean by saying golden cleint n development cleint, both are meant to be one since all our development activities happen we call it as golden client and we take regular backup of this golden client.
Now u said BP was imported into 110 n not available in 100, so how is the configurations done in 110 is going to work without issues in 100???? u should have BP implemented in 100 as well
Once that was done, again you cannot have two clients to release change requests to trasnport, will create lot of confusions. Thisnk which client they want to put as key where they can release the changes done.
They can transfer the changes without releasing to their desired cleint and have to release there.
Again the change requests that are released and ready for transport, these things will not be copied into other cleint by cleuint copy.
So what u can do, decide one client for release of change requests(obviously the cleint where Development is done only frm there we realese change requests for transports), u need to make the BP(best practice) available in all the client tht will b used by consultants n power users n end users. and ask the consultants to make local trasn ports using SCC1 for this they dont have to release the change requests. and make all the changes tranported to one client where u can say it as perfect golden client/Development client(both mean same) and release from there, if any changes are already released record them n document but from here on u can have single strategy in place.
Hope this helped u.....
Regards...........

Client Copy and System Restore query

Dear All,
I have few major doubt regarding client copy and system restor.
1. In my Quality system there are 2 clients: 100 and 200.In my PRD there is only 1 client 300(other than the standard default clients). My doubt is during remote client copy with SAP_ALL profile from PRD to QUA why the space increases only in MB.
I have been asked the same question by my management. They are saying PRD is 300GB and QUA is 220GB then why the space increases in MB though all data is copied in client 200(QUA) from client300(PRD)
2. If I delete client why the space is released in MB. Because according to them it should be in GBs.
3. Now my third query is I have to restore PRD backup in QUA.So I said that this requires same <SID> and Same sapce in the sapdatafiles(OS is HP-UX 11.31 and DB is Oracle 10g).So I have to explain them why these two things are contradary to each other. In case of client copy space required is only in MB and in case of System restore of PRD in QUA sapce require is in GBs.
Your suggestions will be highly obliged.
Regards,
PG

Response > Because during client copy your customizing and other objects are copied.
The database structures,tables etc are already present.
2. If I delete client why the space is released in MB. Because according to them it should be in GBs.
Response > Since client deletion is not same as deleting database /customizing tables .If you delete complete dataspaces/tables then there will be sizeable difference.Similar logic as Response 1

Response > Since in a system copy you will copy data files (which includes tables,and all otehr strucutres ) hence the size required will be similar to PRD.

PI 7.0, IDOC to IDOC scenario, Client Copy ?

Hi,
We are trying to setup a IDOC to IDOC scenario in our new PI System.
Do we have to do a client copy for all the clients assigned for logical systems in SCC4 ?
These systems are setup in SLD on our PI Server as techincal systems and business systems also.
These clients and logical systems are for our SAP R/3 systems on version 4.7.
thanks
Udai

Hi,
I was a going through a demo example in SAP Guide. It says that you have to do a client copy for an IDOC to IDOC scenario.
So i will probably explain with numbers in our system.
XI System -> Client 100, logical system name -> D11100
SAP R/3 System -> Client 210, Logical system name -> D01210
So from the documentation as it says, i did setup a logical system and client in SCC4 in the XI system for our SAP R/3 System( Client 210).
Now the documentation says i have to log into client 210 of our XI system and do a client copy. So i was not sure if i have to do a client copy.
Let me know if i am not clear.
thanks

Client copy with configuration data in R/3. Is there any effect on EBP sys

Hi all,
We are using classic scenario. Our client is reorganizing their Org structure for that we need to do client copy with only configuration data.
In this scenario we are uploading the master and transactional data through ALE in order to retain the same number ranges and the same data in EBP system.
My doubt is when we do config steps Define logical system and assign the logical system to the client and define Idoc message types etc... Is it necessary to run BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL job. If yes the same data like Plant and storage location and all master data will override the existing data or not. And what about the open Purchase orders and open goods receipts.
Can you please reply immediately. It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance

SAP* not authorized after Client copy

Dear All,
Here's the scenario:
1. Created a new logical system for a new Quality client 230.
2. Created the new client 220
3. scheduled a test remote client copy from the new client, source Production. (Successful)
4. Scheduled the actual client copy to run last night.
5. Today morning, I'm logging into the new client with SAP*, it prompted me to change password.
6. I want to look for the client copy logs (SCC3), but getting "not authorized"
7. Checked all other transactions, all giving "not authorized" error
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dear Reza,
Better to go for Client Export Import process . This is what SAP reccomends for coping clients between
different systems ( Like from Production to Quality ) as the remote client copy has many
disadvantages..
For this 1 ) you should get the downtime of production system and do the client export process .
SCC8 . See the logs at scc3 .
2) Copy the datafile and cofile to the Source system
3) Import it usting stms_import .
Monitor the logs as the logs will be grown massive and make sure enough space is there.
4) After client copy , go for post processing ( scc7 ) .
Hope you are clear and feel free to get back if any doubts.

Logical System and Client copy

Hi Gurus ,

Hi Manjula ,
              Below i mentioned the full detail about the error .
    RFC destination for client copy in systems with Financials Basis     (FINBASIS) component.
The system could not find any suitable RFC destination for processing     for client 000.     This note also appears if an RFC destination was found but this does not     work.     o   RFC destination: FINBTR@ID3CLNT000     o   Error text: Error during the retrieval of the logon data     Proceed as follows to eliminate this error:
1. Start the wizard to create a new RFC connection     or perform the following steps manually:     1. Create an RFC destination with the target ZK>source client of client         copy (in this case 000).
2. Check whether the RFC destination works in transaction SM59.         To avoid errors when assigning the password or the authorizations of         the RFC user, use the authorization test Test -> Authorization.
3. Enter the RFC destination:         -   Transaction: FINB_TR_DEST (Destinations for Transport Methods of             the Financials Basis)         -   Client: 000
4. Start the client copy again.
Kindly advice me

Client Copy back-end system

Hi Guys,
We have made a client copy of the back-end system of SRM (SRM 5.0). Only the back-end and not SRM has been copied.
After replication all the master- and customizing data again to SRM from the 'new' back-end I have found an issue with updating the suppliers.
It seems that I can not remove old business partners from SRM with BUPA_TEST_DELETE if these are used already in SC's. However the new copy of the back-end system has completely different suppliers we need to use in SRM. This causes for an inconsistency with the supplier numbers, as we want to keep the R/3 numbers in SRM.
Does anyone has a good idea how to proceed? That is, how can I remove the business partners (suppliers) in SRM which were used before the client copy of R/3, so that I will be able to completely get all the relevant 'new' vendors from the R/3 system after the client copy.
When I execute BUPA_TEST_DELETE it will end up in error saying the suppliers can not be removed. Do I need to archive all the old documents (SC & PO) before I can remove all vendors in SRM, or is there a way to force the removal of all the business partners from before the back-end client copy?
Thx.
Skander

Hi,
I already figured out how to solve the issue.
For anyone who wants to know how to:
-First clear the vendor groups in the vendor hierarchy; do not renove the root node
-Then run BBPGETVD which will get you the new vendors from the back-end; for me only role LF for suppliers.
-Then run BBPUPDVD which will update all the fields for the old business partner numbers in SRM which were used in documents, and replicated from the old back-end system.
In my case I had to play a litlebit with the setting 'only creditors', to update BP numbers which were not suppliers in the new back-end.
After performing these steps everything should be fine.
So it's perfectly possible to make a client copy of only the back-end system without copying SRM (in the classic scenario that is).

System Copy vs Client copy

Hi,
I have to choose between a copy with or whitout data from PRD system to DEV.
I'm little confused about the difference between System Copy and Client Copy.
Which is that includes a copy of data also?
Then, System copy = Refresh system?
Please, reply me directly, without post link.....
Many thanks.

Hi,
Please do an SDN search of these terms.
Also read SAP Note 886102 for all system copies scenarios.

Condition record's not getting copied in local client copy !!!

Hi ALL,
I have a one question/doubt regarding local client copy.
Our functional team creates condition type (for e.g.: thru FV11 for MM) in one client (golden), when I take client copy of that client with SAP_All profile, but condition type is not getting copied in the new client.
I found for Sap notes, in one note it was suggested that change documents are not copied with any profiles.
I found in FV11, there is one option, Send Condition, thru which we can send by Logical systems, but its giving error msg u201CNo relevant partner system DEVCLNT300 exists for output category COND_A
Message no. VJ000u201D
Can u pls suggest proper way to copy/transport condition record in new client created?

C Singh.

Queary regarding Client Copy

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where in my Source Systems runs on HP-UX,Oracle10G and ECC 6.0 and my Target Systems runs on Windows 2003,Oracle 10G and ECC 6.0 except OS all the SAP and DB versions and Patches are same.
Could you please tell me can i able to do remote client copy( i am sure with client export/import we can do)? does any body done the same before.
Please suggest me on this
Thanks,
Laxman

As far as i remember Remote Client Copies between different OS is possible... essentially a client copy is a HUGE transport and as far as the SAP versions are the same it should be ok. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Local client copy for delta changes

Hello Support,
We have requirement of copying data(local client copy) of last one month. This is a rrepetitiveactivity and has to be done once in every month.
For example, in DEV we have 3 clients 200, 210 clients. They make changes in 200 client and these changes has to be reflected in 210 clients. For changing 1 month data we can't perform client copy with SAP_ALL.
I have an idea that we can perform local client copy using TDMS 4.0 but can we do delta client copy?
So, my question here is
1. Can we perform client copy for specific selected data(by date, for eg last 30days) without deleting existing data?
2. We have step 'Start Deletion of Data in Receiving System' in Time Based Reduction scenario, can we skip this and continue proceed with client copy?
Thanks,
Uday.

Hello Uday,
SAP TDMS Time based reduction package copies the whole of master data and customization data along with the transactional data being filtered based on the Data Slice Date Provided.
SAP TDMS cannot be used for a Delta Copy to copy only a months data keeping the existing data in the system. If the requiremnt is to run every month, you could give an approritate slice date and transfer the whole data again using SAP TDMS which would include the latest one month data as well.
It is not recommended to skip the step "Data deletion in Receiver system" and then execute the SAP TDMS package. This can lead to issue during the transfer.

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 completed but scc3 shows some tables deleted why

Dear Experts ,
here i perform test run for production client 500 to quality client 400 (remote type)
and i choose sap_cust profile
after some time my remote client copy is completed successfully
and i find log files in scc3
my doubt is when i execute scc3 for log file
it shows log analysys in that
target client source system every thing is their and also
here i found
number of tables      50089 to 50089
Deleted lines            10905326
copied lines             12451200
i did not understand is that my client copy is successful or not
but log file shows successful,
if it is successful means why some lines are deleted
please reply me
Regards

Hi,
As per your logs, you have run the test run, so client copy is not happened. If status in SCC3 is successful then client copy is successful. You can also further check logs.
Thanks
