steps should be taken to make a client copy say from dev to test using BDLS

[Former Member]

Some one help to write up on real situation at any client site...by BASIS group

for SRM box..

Say client num in Dev is 100

and we want to copy all that to a test box where the client number is 101...

initially client 100 SRM box is pointing to R/3 say dev box 201

the new R/3 box is 202. And we have to point the 101 to 202. So I am just wondering the steps

taken by BASIS group to build the test env. 101 ---> 202

Hello,

we had experienced some problems during client copy with SRM in our earlier project.

I am not a basis guy but i can give you some hint for yr situation:

- Copy R/3 client 101 to 202 with the profile SAP_ALL

- change the SID with BDLS

- Copy SRM client 100 to 101 with the profile SAP_CUST

- change the SID with BDLS

- Now download the masterdata from R/3 to SRM

SRM client should never be copied with SAP_ALL profile because ,if done so the logical system for product masters is copied that of old client.

This creates total chaos and nothing works.
