Client Delete and Logical System and CUA

[laurie_mcginley]

I'm getting ready to do some client clean up in prep for an upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC 6 soon.

Currently we have a 3 system landscape: DV1 QA1 PR1

Clients on these systems are as follows: (not including 000, 001, 066)

PR1:100 - the production client

QA1:100 - Integration Master - not used except for RFC connections for Solution Manager

QA1:110 - Cycle 1 testing - not used

QA1:120 - Cycle 2 testing - not used

QA1:200 - Old training master client - not used

QA1:201 - Old training client - not used

QA1:710 - no longer being used for testing

QA1:720 - client used for system and integration testing

DV1:100 - Configuration - not used

DV1:110 - ABAP development

DV1:120 - Configuration

DV1:700 - Template for test - not used

DV1:710 - Test with prod data

Most have a logical system defined for the client.

I am going to delete those I've underlined above as they are no longer used.

Some of these are setup in the CUA system.

All are showing up in Solution Manager SMSY system landscape.

My plan is to backup the system database first!

Then:

1) Delete the client(s) (SCC5) one by one

2) Remove the client from CUA (SCUA)

3) Remove the logical name (SALE)

What I am unsure about is the order of the process. Should the CUA and ALE modifications come before actually deleting the client?

Does this sound like a reasonable plan to clean up our client landscape?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Dear Laurie,

Order should be like below:

1) Remove the client from CUA (SCUA)

2) Delete the client(s) (SCC5) one by one

3) Remove the logical name (SALE)

More over you should delete these clients from Solution Manager also inorder not to have error message when you go to solution Manager for doing anything on that system.

Please revert back for any queries.

Thank-you Shailesh,

Another thought occurred to me last night. If these clients are part of the transport system that too will need to be changed I think. Where in the order of doing the delete would this fall?

Thanks

Hi Laurie,

1) Remove the client from CUA (SCUA)

2) Delete clients from the domain controller

3 Delete the client(s) (SCC5) one by one

4 Remove the logical name (SALE)

The Clients can be deleted from domain controller 000 client.

Thank-you Sushant. I am putting together the plan now and will use the information from this thread.
