Why use shell creation?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Why should I use shell creation... is it to set up a new client in an existing system or to set up a whole new system (development, quality, learning)?

Thanks, Erik

Hi Erik,

Shellcreation is used to create/refresh a new SAP System (like a Systemcopy)only with the repository information and structure of the source system. So no transactional data.

IT works not on the client but on the Systemlevel!

To start with TDMS system copy first condition is ABAP repository should be same both on sender and receiver.

To make this possible if you are working on refresh with OLD receiver system, it is better to use Shell creation to get ABAP

repository from sender.
