Hi

1) First check whether there is enough space on the server.

2) Check stms consistency

3) You can test run before actual client export to get fare idea of client size.

4) During actual client export please lock all user except default users and the user which you want to use to run this activity.

5) You need to keep close eye on client logs and table space.

6) Once finished you can release system for production environment.

7) Run Import in dev system

😎 Don't forget to run post-import.

Hi,

You have to make sure that no users are logged in the client, if possible lock them.

Read the note: Note 70547 - CC-TOPIC: Client transport

You may want to do the client copy when users are not working on the system. For the client export/import, source system can be used as soon as export process is ready. You can use reports like RSSPACECHECK for the size of client. Client copy export/import timings depends on your hardware configuration, database size etc. You will need to decide on client copy profile before starting the export.

You may want to refer to the following SAP notes:

SAP Note 552711 - FAQ: Client copy

SAP Note 489690 - CC INFO: Copying large production clients

SAP Note 118823 - CC-ADMIN: Size of a client
