[Former Member]

Hi,

I have three system landscape DEV/QAS & PRD. In DEV i have two 2 client 100 & 500 and QAS also i have 2 client 200 and 201 and in PRD i have only 1 client i.e 400.

Now i want do a client copy from DEV's 500 to QAS's 201 i would like to do this client copy through export (SCC8 ) and import (SCC7). Can anyone explain me the step by step process like from which system i should execute SCC8 to export data DEV or QAS ? Which system will be selected as target system and so on ? How to import the client in QAS. If anyone can explain me the step by step process i will be greatfull to him/her.

first of all its better to use SCC9 (REMOTE COPY) anyway this is the procedure..

1) log on to client to be exported and give the target client inforamtion. (2) Do export and after export is done u get files in the "/usr/sap/trans/cofiles/koxxx.<SourceSID> as well as "/usr/sap/trans/data/roxxxx.<sourcesid>

3) Now logon at OS level in the target system which i prefer (or can use STMS) and goto "/usr/sap/trans/bin" and use "tp" program.

tp addtobuffer SourceSIDkoxxxxx TargetSID

tp import SourceSIDkoxxxx TargetSID client xxx (xxx=ur target client)

then run scc3 to check errors and scc7 for post import process....

Hope this gives u an idea.....

Hi Venkatesh,

I have logined to the client from where i have to export the data and i executed scc8 and defined the target system where i have to import the data and i got message that export has been done sucessfully. I also got a message that three file have been generated for transport. SID<K0>XXXXX , SID<KT>XXXXXXX, SID<KX>XXXXXXX. But now if have to look where these files have been genrated and how can i import these file because when go STMS i don't find these transfort request in the queue. While exporting the data does system generates any log file which i can see whas been exported. unfortunetly i don't have the access for OS level so i cannot search these file on OS level.

Please help me ..

regards

The transport request only created if the source client contains customer texts.

TransportDescription

<sid>KO<no>cross-client data

<sid>KT<no>client-specific data

<sid>KX<no>texts and forms

The data export is performed automatically asynchronously. The output of the export includes the names of the transport requests that are to be imported.

Caution

The data export is asynchronous and still runs if SCC8 has already finished. Do not run any other client copy tool before the data export is finished. You can check the status of the export with the transaction SE01. Display the logs for the request <sid>KT<no>.
