Question Re: Client export-import profile in Technology Q&A

Client export-import profile

Former Member — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 06:36:18 GMT

Dear Expert,

We are planning for import/export activity. Export the QAS data to another server.

In that case I want to copy only users, roles & authorization and developer configuration. Not need to any master data.

There is number of profiles seen in SCC8, so as per my requirement which profile I will take for export in QAS?

Please advise

Our environment is ECC 6.0, Oracle 10.2g, HP-UNIX 11.31

Regards,

Ajay

Hi Ajay,

Using SAP_USER profile you will get only the user master data, roles and authorization profiles.

As per your question, your requirement is to get the client independent data also.

So, you have to follow system refresh procedure. There are two ways:

1.) Database backup and restore method.

2.) Export/Import using sapinst method.

Check this link for clear understanding:

Hi,

You need everything other than the master data which is not possible with a client copy method.

SAP_CUST can copy the client specific customizing and the authorization profile data.

Post that you have to sync your cross client customizing manually.

You may look at other tools (SAP TDMS) which have these capabilities!

Hi Ajay,

As per my knowledge, there is no such profile to get the client independent data.

The only way to get client independent data is to follow any of the above two methods.

Hi Ajay,

By Developer configuration i believe you meant Client-specific customizing.

If that is the case you can have a Remote client copy using SAP_USER and then with SAP_CUST.

Check the below link for clarification.

Hi Ajay,

Perform client copy using SAP_UCUSV . This will copy user masters , customizing and variants.

For cross client objects best option is to transport them to new environment ( to avoid any junk data being moved to new environment).

If you go with system copy method as explained in response above, you will get all the data from QAS to new environment.

Hope this helps.

The copy profile options are specified in the below link with the description of each profile.

https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/99/0a2a887e2511d2a6250000e82deaaa/content.htm

If your requirement cannot be achieved with the above options then check whether SAP TDMS solution can deliver you that.

Dear All,

Thanks to all of you for valuable suggestion.

From above all post; get profile option -

SAP_CUST

SAP_USER & SAP_CUST

SAP_UCUSV

We have QA system & TEST (as like PRD) system, Both systems have their own client-specific data. Our developers have made a lot of customization in QA system. Now we have make a plan that create one more client in TEST system and copy QA client to new client in TEST system (without any change to original client). In this case we want to copy only users, role & authorization profiles and customizing data which done by developers only. Not required any other data which made by users in daily activity.

So shall we go for client import/ export with SAP_USER & SAP_CUST method?

Regards,

Ajay

Hello Mr Mahendra,

We have done quarterly system refresh form PRD to QA , in that case all data are copied with users made by on daily basis.

I go for client export/import because i want only users, role & authorization profile and customization by developers.

Ajay

Hi,

Your query is really confusing us!!!


We have QA system & Test system

So no Development


Our developers have made a lot of customization in QA system

So developers are directly working in QA


we want to copy only users, role & authorization profiles and customizing data which done by developers only

Customizing data is client dependant, Development is client independent (Means cross client customization).

If you copy your cross client customization to any of the other system, it will overwrite your client dependant objects in target!

Explain your requirement in more detail so that experts can give you the feasible options (May be I am wrong in understanding your requirement).

Hi Ajay,

Follow this

1) Create new client in TEST system.

2) Copy from QA client to TEST with proflie SAP_UCUSV. This will bring your users, authorization data , some part of developements/customizing ( client specific)

3) Other part of development/customizing ( cross-client) you have to identify and transport to new TEST client that you created. For this trace all the cross client transports created by your developers. Let us know if the developers has done it directly on QA system without creation of transport.

Thanks and Regards,

Syam

Hi Ajay,

By the profile SAP_CUST you will get only client specific customizing.

As per your question, you are saying you need only ABAPer changes. That is client independent.

To get the client independent changes, you have list out all the TR's created by your ABAPer's and import them into new system by moving to those TR(data and cofiles into new sytem).

Hi,


Other part of development/customizing ( cross-client) you have to identify and transport to new TEST client that you created

What about the existing client's data? if you transport cross client customizing to newly created client?

SAP_UCUSV is the correct profile in your case.

Hi Nick,

Ajay dont need client transaction data to be moved or refreshed. He needs only 'users, role & authorization profiles and customizing data'.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Nick,

Our landscape is ECC DEV-QAS-PRD. We have also another system which is copy of PRD; so its is called as TEST system. This system is standalone.

One of project is going on on this TEST system and for that consultants are use QAS as a development because of latest transaction data available.

Now we have plan to make a new client in TEST and use this client for developers. So export client from QAS to TEST new client.

But we don't need any transaction data from QAS

Now are you understand my requirement

Regards,

Ajay

Re: Client export-import profile

Former Member — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:37:32 GMT

Hello Mr Syam,

Thanks for your comments.

Developers are created transport requests on QAS and then we copy this request on TEST

We have done system refresh on TEST system from live production copy. So TEST system have its own client 600 and now we will make new client 800 for developers. It mean that developers are work on 800 and then transport request to 600. I think you understand what we should do or our activity.

As per your suggestion, if we have done - Copy from QA client to TEST with proflie SAP_UCUSV.

It should be change/effect on exiting client 600 or transaction data of TEST system?

Regards,

Ajay

If you trigger a local client copy from 600 to 800 then changes are done in the target client.

There won't be any changes done to the source client which is 600.
