SAP PI Best Practices for client

[jay_b2]

I have been informed by some basis administrators that running PI in 001 has given problems... although they cannot describe what 'kind' of problems. I am setting up a fresh system and have referred to sap notes that detail the process on how to go about setting up a new client (100 instead of 001).

However, I'd like to know if it is recommended to do so (set up 100) and what kind of problems can surface otherwise.

Are you running your PI on 001 or 100.

Thanks

Hello Jay,

We should not use 001 client. As far as I know, client 001 is meant for Earlywatch service, not for regular operations. Please create new client (ex: 100) and start using that.

Thanks,
