Hi Rajesh,

I would ask the person who did the copy 3 months back whether you can overwrite the client of not.

Is there a specific security aspect to your question (this is the security topic forum)?

Hmm...

Such a client copy would hopefully have been requested, so the change management records ("ticket") would hopefully have information in it as to why the client copy was requested and how it it is needed for?

Plan C: Check who the activate users are in that client and ask them whether the client data is required, or can be copied again.

Good luck,

Yes, I assume the copy 3 months ago and this new one are not "just for fun".

There is a difference between a mirror of a system and a client copy.

I understood your question to be: "How do I know whether I can overwrite the data in the client?"

PS: If there is sensitive transaction or master data involved, you might want to make it anonymous and "scramble" it.

Hello Rajesh,

Here i would like to share few points regarding client copy,which i have't done myself but involved along with senior ADMIN.

Actually i also got the same doubt like,for that he says always keep old 2 exported files(taken 3 months back ) with different name by re-naming.Also it maynot recommended to over-write.

So recommended way is to export data(required) to new file operating system level and then import to target operating system level(from the command prompt u can perform this by connecting to source system).

Hi Rajesh,

I am moving this thread to the SAP NW Administrator forum for you.

I think you will have a better chance of finding folks with "step-by-step" experience there.

(no offense to Gadde, only myself)

Also, if you use the search, then I can imagine some usefull information is already here,

as this question has without much doubt been asked and answered before.

Good luck,

Julius
