Master data transfer between systems

[Former Member]

hey guys,

we have a 3 system landscape with the following clients:

DEV 100: golden configuration client

DEV 200: unit test

CIQ 100: qa configuration client

ciq 200: quality/test client

cip 100: production client

I have all the clients locked down to "not modifiable for both customizing and repository objects" except the DEV 100 client. One of my analysts wants to make changes to the master data in the unit test client because the master data is not there in the configuration client. Should I open this unit test client for modifications? If I do so, will I need to import the changes to CIQ and CIP through transport method or would those changes be made manually ? any kind of best practices surround the changes to master data ? My main concern is that if I open the unit test client, everybody would start doing development and customizing in that client and the configuration client would go out of sync. Please advise.

thanks

Hi,

Any master data changes to a "non modifiable" client can be sent using one of the two options :

1. Transport Request

2. ALE (IDoc)

Most probably the master data change he wants to transport requires an ALE setup between the two systems.

thanks jovito, but a quick follow up question:

so which client should master data be normally maintained and how should it be transported to subsequent systems?

Capture your master data changes in DEV 100 under a CTS .

The in the DEV200 client use SCC1 tcode to import the CTS .Specify the soruce client and CTS number

Under "master data" I understand application data like G/L accounts, customer master data, etc. (see S11 delivery class "A")

This can and should of course be maintained directly in each system, irrespective of the client settings. You will even be warned if you try to transport such entries via transport requests.

Are you actually referring to customizing settings (delivery class "C") ?
