Local
Creating a brand new user in the same R3 server and copying 000 to new user.

Local Client Copy

1 Create client by using scc4 (In the target system)
2 Log on to the target client with the user
Sap*/pass(Password)
3 Run the Tcode SCCL (SCC9 for Remote Client copy)
4 Select the profile
5 Select the source client (in remote client copy select the remote server)
6 Before copying run the test run
7 Schedule as background

Remote Client Copy
1 In remote client copy the data is transformed directly b/w the source and target client using RFC s(Remote Function Call) in n/w connection

2 Single step Process

Export:
In client transport data is exported file at OS level (Trans/data).At some further time the client is imported from the file system to the target system by using the management system.

2 Two step process

Important Points
1 R3 repositry objects such as ABAP programme are not transported with the client copy
2 Development objects can only be transported using change request
3system messages to be passed to clients from SM02 beford copying client.
4The space on the system should be checked.
5If the client copy is terminated abnormally we can re execute the same copy process. The system allows you to restart the copy at the point were it was terminated previously.
6 The client copy programes use the client copy control flow table i.e ccc flow

To lock the particular sid
Tp locksys pf : tp profile (Path of configuration profile)
Tp unlock sys pf: tp profile (path of configuration profile)

Restrictions

For Import Export
1 SCC4 ……….To create the client in the target

SCC8 (To export the client copy)
SCC7 ( To import the Client copy)
SCC9(To Remote Client copy)

What is the difference between T000 and SCC4
In T000 the structure will be deleated but the data will be existing

If we use SCC5 the structure and the data will be completely deleated.
