ABAP Clients

What is the difference between ABAP Clients represented by 000, 001, 100...etc? What do they share? Are the objects as in classes, tables, interface client dependent or independent (or we can specify this during creation)?

Regards,

Arpit

hai,

A client is a indipendent business entity in the SAP system,which represents and organization or a company

A client is a field in the database

CLIENTS with field u2018mandtu2019 are called client specific

CLIENTS without field u2018mandtu2019 are called cross client customizing

A client is data seperator

SAP Provides 3 default clients 000 001 066

000 is called a template,

other clients are defined by copying client 000

to define the client roles for an organization like cust client, test client, sand client, qty client prd client we shoudl define our own clients.

SAP provides the client mechanism for the company or orgaization to maintain uniquenes in the sysem

Hi,

Client 000 is the SAP refernce client from where you may copy the standard customizing .

Client 001 ... can be created by customers.

Coming to what is cleint , you can go through SAP help for the same.

Hi,

Tables can be client dependent or independent.

If the first field is MANDT then the table is client-dependent or else it is client independent.

All the programs are client independent.But if we want we can specify it using CLIENT SPECIFIED option in the program.

Thanks,
