We want to copy our production client to quality client only for IMG settings.Is it possible to copy a client for only customising settings. Please advice.

Hello Narayani,

Please ask your administator, or look in the http://help.sap.com for transaction SCC4 / SCCL / SCC9 / SCC8 / SCC7 ....

You must read the documentation carefully before starting playing with client (check the size of your TableSpace)

Have fun

Hi Narayani,

I paste here from the help the possible options (called client copy profiles) when doing a client copy:

SAP_USER

Users, user roles and authorization profiles are copied. The client is not reset.

SAP_CUST <b>I think this is the one you want</b>

Client-specific customizing including authorization profile is copied. The application data is deleted, the user data is retained.

SAP_CUSV

SAP_CUST with variants

SAP_UCUS

SAP_CUST with user master data

SAP_UCSV

SAP_UCUS with variants

SAP_ALL

All client data except change documents (see note 180949) and local data is copied.

SAP_APPL

SAP_ALL without user master data

Check out: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/69/c24c5b4ba111d189750000e8322d00/frameset.htm for more information about client copies.

Sorry, just re-read your question.

I guess you want to keep your QA data?

If so, then there isn't really an option.

I guess the SAP_APPL, gives you the closest fit. You keep your QA users (and don't get all the production ones), but you have to keep all the production data.

Note, SAP doesn't support config only and keeping your master data, as it is impossible to ensure the integrity of the data with a different set of config (a they are closely linked). This could lead to many inconsistencies (read: an unstable platform).

Cheers,

Brad

Thank you very much Brad and Frédéric. I shall update my system administrators of the same.
