Client Copy Procedure
Title: Client Copy Procedure
Purpose:
This document describes the procedure for creating new clients and performing client copies to new and
existing clients.
Adding New Client:
1. Verify how new client is to be used and in which system to create the client.
2. Add entry in client table for new client using transaction “SCC4”
3. Verify source client(s) from person requesting new client and what data must be copied into the
new client (i.e. configuration, master and transactional data, user master data, etc.).
4. Verify there is adequate space available in database to perform a client copy to the new client.
a. Database space requirements are determined by the amount of data in the source client
and the client copy profile to be used. The space requirements can vary anywhere from
1 GB up to 5 GB
.
b. If necessary, add space to data files.
5. Logon to new client as user SAP* and schedule the client copy as a background job.
6. Create logical system for the new client.
7. If new client is not in development system (ECL), transport the logical system to the system
where new client resides.
8. Assign the logical system to the new client.
9. Determine if new client will be added to CUA. If it will be added to CUA:
a. Create CUA RFC
b. Notify Security Team that new client must be added to CUA
10. Determine if new client must be in the transport path. If client must be in transport path, update
the appropriate target group.
11. Verify client copy completed successfully.
12. Create RFC for new client to allow Derivation transports. The RFC must adhere to the following
naming standard:
FINBTR@<SID>CLNT<Client Number> (i.e. FINBTR@QASCLNT810)
13. Transport Derivation change request (ECLK901858) to new client.
14. Reset Number Range Buffer with transaction “SM56”.
15. Execute the following reports in transaction “SE38”

Client Copy/Refresh of an Existing Client:
1. Verify source client from person(s) requesting client refresh and what data must be copied
into the new client (i.e. configuration, master and transactional data, user master data, etc.).
2. Verify timing for scheduling client refresh
3. Verify there is adequate space in database to perform the client copy. (check server disk
space & DB02)
4. Logon to client that is to be refreshed as yourself (or you can use DDIC or SAP*) and
schedule client copy as background job. (SCCL)
5. Verify client copy completed successfully. (SM37, SM50)
6. Transport Derivation change request (ECLK901858) to new client. (STMS)
7. Reset Number Range Buffer with transaction. (SM56)
8. Notify person requesting client refresh that client is ready for use.
