Copy user between System

Former Member

Hi folks,

I need to copy users and profile between systems that they are not at the same transport route.

What is the best choice?

The transaction SCC8 doesn't work because it asks the target system and the options are the systems set in the transport route.

Any clue?

Hi,

  Please make sure that both source & target system are able to ping each other.

Creating a RFC Connection

1.          Log on to any client on the appropriate SAP system . YOUR SOURCE SYTEM.

2.          Go to transaction SM59.

3.          On the Display and maintain RFC destinations screen, click the Create button.

4.          On the RFC Destination screen, type in a RFC destination name.  This name should contain meaningful information such as the SID of the SAP system and\or any client numbers.  Select the Connection type from the connection type dropdown, and type the connection specifics in the Description box.  If the connection type is a “3” (another SAP system), fill in the necessary client logon information in the Logon section.  Fill in the Language, Client, User, and Password for an existing user in the target RFC SAP system.   Once all this information is provided, press Enter.

5.          In the Technical settings section of the RFC Destination screen, type in the name or IP address of the Target host.  If the target is another SAP system, enter the number of System number.  Press Enter.

6.          On the RFC Destination screen, click the Save picture-icon.  You will receive a Destination saved message in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. 

7.          Test the Connection.

8.          You may now leave the SM59 transaction.

Then follow the below steps for copying the profile using RFC.

1. .          Create the target client if necessary.

2.          Log on to the target client in the appropriate SAP system.  If the target client is new, use “SAP*” for the user and “pass” for the password.

3.          Go to transaction SCC9 for Remote Client Copy.

4.          On the Client Copy – Copy a Client screen, use the Selected profile dropdown to select a profile that matches your needs.  Use SAP_USER to copy all data except change documents, SAP_USER to copy only user master data, or one of the other SAP provided client copy profiles. Since this is a client copy that uses data from a client in another SAP system (or remote client), a Source destination must be provided.  This is a RFC connection pointing to a specific client in another SAP system.  If there is no RFC connection to the client you wish to copy, you will need to create one.  Otherwise, use the dropdown to select the remote source client. 

5.          On the Schedule Client Copy in Background screen, use the Background server dropdown to select the background server on which the job is to run.  There should only be one server available in the dropdown.  Click the Schedule job button.

6.          On the Verification popup, check that everything is correct and click the Continue button.

7.          On the Start Time popup, if you want the client copy job submitted right away, click the Immediate button.  To schedule the copy for a later date and\or time, click the Date\Time button.  In the Date\Time section, provide the Scheduled start Date and Time. 

8.          On the Background Print Parameters popup, select an Output device from the dropdown.  Click the green √ to continue.

9.          You will receive a client copy confirmation message.  You can monitor this copy by using transaction SCC3.  You may now leave the SCC9 transaction.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Marilla,

Do you want to copy all User master or specific users ?

For All have you tried SCC9, if you have RFC configured you should be able to preform Remote Client Copy.

Thanks,

You can try SCC9 if you have RFC configured.

Hi -

First you need to create RFC by using SM59 and make sure the RFC communication between source and target system, then try to copy users and profile as "Remote Client Copy"

Thanks
