Client Copy

[Former Member]

Is there any possibility to do a client copy between 2 systems, but only of the data of the tables? I mean, I would like to copy the data from production system to developer system, without changing the programas, transport organizer ...

Thank you

Hello Ibon,

sure there is a possibility in the SAP Standard:

the transaction SCC9 will do a remote (between two systems) client copy.

If you enter the transaction there is the parameter "Selected profile". With F4 you can see the different profiles you can use to copy a client.

SAP_ALL    All Client-Specific Data w/o Change Documents     
SAP_APPL   Customizing and Application Data w/o Change Docs  
SAP_APPX   SAP_APPL w/o Authorization Profiles and Roles     
SAP_CUST   Customizing                                       
SAP_CUSV   Customizing and User Variants                     
SAP_CUSX   Customizing w/o Authorization Profiles and Roles  
SAP_PROF   Only Authorization Profiles and Roles             
SAP_RECO   Recovery (Only if Source Client = Target Client)  
SAP_UCSV   Customizing, User Master Records and User Variants
SAP_UCUS   Customizing and User Master Records               
SAP_UONL   User Without Authorization Profiles and Roles     
SAP_USER   User Master Records and Authorization Profiles   

I do a copy from prod to dev usually with the profile SAP_APPL.

See SAP documentation for further help:

Hello Michael,

Thank you very much for your answer.

If I want to copy only the data of the tables, the profile thet I have to use is SAP_ALL, isn´t it? If I do that, all the transports ... are not going to be changed, aren´t they?

Thank you

Hello Ibon,

what do you mean by transports?

Transport requests like in transaction SE10?

If so, these transports remain in the dev system.

Only customizing and application data is copied, no "system relevant" data.

Be aware of the following (copied from the sap help):

"The customizing and application data is deleted in the target client before copying ... This is technically unavoidable"

This means that the client copy does no merge the data in the target client.
