Compile after local client copy

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

We noticed that SAP ECC 6 will compile some stuff again after a local client copy. e.g. when we launch MM01 in the newly created client (by copy) it compiles again. The transaction has been run in the source client.

Is this normal? Can we limit these compiling actions by a specific sgen task? Which one? Regenerate after an SAP System Upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

This is a bug. Please apply OSS note #1115677.

Hi,

Yes you need to run SGEN after client copy... I'll go for Generate all objects of Selected Software components and then choose all components from the list.

Do I need to run it in every client when I make more copies?

Hi,

I always do... Ruchit may have a different opinion.

Hello Juan,

So far I have not even once done SGEN after a client copy. SGEN is needed only after a fresh installation, SAP upgrade and support package import. This is when we are doing SGEN. SGEN is needed only when either the object is new or has got modified. Infact regeneration of programs also happens after transport imports which carry program changes.

Though nothing wrong in doing SGEN after client copy. Can be done if you wish.

In this case it might be that the system we are talkign about may be a totally new system where SGEN has not been run even once.

Hello R. Van der Veen ,

Please confirm that you were using the system in past without this MM01 delay issue.

Also SGEn is system specific. Nothing to do with client.

I also never did SGEN after client copy .

SGEN is use for to prevent the generation of any ABAP programs or screens during the installation process .

Client copy is not a not installation process .

Hi,

SGEN is not needed normally in case of client copy since repository never gets copied in client copy. Moreover you are facing this issue in source client. Must be some thing else. Something to do with system resources. CPU,memory etc.
