Hi,
The PI 7.1 installation manual says to: a) perform the client copy, b) apply latest kernel and support packages, c) run the CTC wizard - in that order.
The guide "SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 Post-Installation Steps" (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60d2a693-9504-2b10-5ba7-82964bd8370e;jsessionid=(J2EE3414800)ID0145301350DB10255382475188625451End) echoes the advice on step a) before step c).
However, the SAP Note 1115280 that the PI 7.1 installation manual refers to, clearly states to do step c) before step a). It even includes an exclamation mark, albeit in brackets (!).
Does anyone know which is correct? Should it be step b), then c), then a) ?
The PI 7.1 installation manual (and some other SAP documentation that I've read) says that you can make the production client a copy of either client 000 or of client 001, but provides absolutely no basis for making this decision. What are the factors involved in making this decision? Does it even matter? If not, why this section in the manual?
Thanks for any help.

LO,
Client copy is not mandatory, you can use client 001.
It's up to you to decide if you are going to use client 001 or not.
You you want to do a client copy, usually it is the first step after the installation so option a) for you.
But anyway you can do your client copy after the support packages and pacthes.

As mentioned by Gilles, client copy itself is optional step.By default the Integration server is configured in client 001.
Its just two options made available to use 000 or 001.Its upto you to use any of these.
Refer note#1309239 ques 4(b) and 4(c).
4(c) says that client for integration server that already running on 001 cannot be changed in case of productive systems.

Hi Nagarjuna,
Many thanks for the information and reference to the Blog. Yes, that Blog does address my question but the SAP Note 1309239 also gives important information.
I think I see now why this has been confusing me. If I understand correctly, the situation is this:
A) If I am patching my NW PI 7.1 to a SP stack < SP08, then I should do first b) PATCH, then c) CTC, then a) COPY (according to SAP Note 1115280)
B) If I am patching my NW PI 7.1 to a SP stack >= SP08, then I should do first b) PATCH, then a) COPY, then b) CTC (according to SAP Note 1309239)
Either way, it seems that the PI 7.1 installation manual might be misleading to suggest that a) COPY be done before b) PATCH, as pointed out in the Blog that you referenced.
(In the same vein, I thought it would have been better to set-up the printing before setting up the background jobs; that way, the background jobs could have been configured to prepare output for the correct printer.)
Please correct me if I've misunderstood.
Thanks,
Mark
