How to Copy Application data from Prod to Another System

[Former Member]

If I want to copy only certain portions of application/transaction data to another client on a different system (i.e. copy Prod Client 500 data to QA client 200) , what is the best method for doing so? Is it possible, or do you have to copy everything (either the entire database, or just all of the application data, etc.)?

you can perform client copy

There are two different profile for application data, but they include customizing.

SAP_APPX SAP_APPL Without Authorization Profiles and Roles

If you determine that some tables should not be copied during a client copy, you may exclude them. Run tcode SA38 -> RSCCEXPT. The report displays the exception list where you have to include the table that must not be copied due to technical reasons. Keep in mind that the flag in the display behind the table should be marked with 'X'. (see Note 70290)

you if you want to copy everything including database thn u can perform system copy/ system refresh

Excellent. Research indicated a remote client copy was a good method, I was just concerned that you had to copy all application data, I wasn't aware you could define exceptions. Thank you very much.
