Nani,

1. log into the client to delete

2. go into SCC5 and delete client

3. log into another client and delete entry with SCC4

4. reorg database to recover database space.

Actually, if you check "on" the little "Delete Entry from T000" checkbox, you can skip step 3.

One other way of deleting a client which could give significant performance gain and save time is at OS level using - R3trans

To delete a client( eg: 100 ), you have to create a command file "del100" with following entries

Clientremove

Client = 100

Select *

Place the command file in /usr/sap/trans/bin

$ cd /usr/sap/trans/bin

$ R3trans –w <log file name> -u 1 <command file name >

e.g $ R3trans -w del100.log -u 1 del100

To check the progress...

$ tail -f del100

Hope this will help you.

When you copy a client you expand the database. Some databases can 'auto-expand' when necessary grabbing some additional space from hard drive. But they wouldn't 'shrink' back if you delete some data - for example by deleting SAP client. You have to check your DB documentation how to release some unused space.
