confusion between scc8 and scc9

[Former Member]

Hello guyz,

Iam having confusion between SCC8 and scc9. I understood from the definition that SCC9- remote client copy where as SCC8- client export. Does this mean that scc9 copies the same client from one system to other system where as in scc8 we will copy the existing client to other client in the destination system.

please help me with ur experience

yes what mr.Bidwan said is right. SCC8 is done with exporting and importing of transport requests where as SCC9 does not need tht and client copy can be done directly.

Client Export: (SCC8):

When you do a client export using SCC8, the contents of the client(contents depends on the profile you select) are stored/exported in Transport Request(s):

Types of this/these Transport(s):

<Sid>KO<no> cross-client data

<Sid>KT<no> client-specific data

<Sid>KX<no> texts and forms

You can later import this/these Transport(s) into the target client after logging into this client.

Client Copy(SCC9):

If the source and the target client are in different systems. A Remote Client Copy can be used to transfer Customizing, user and application data between two systems. The target client is completely reset for this.

We have to use SCC9 to start a Remote Client Copy in the target client . Here we must specify the copy profile and the RFC destination to the source client in the source system.

The plain difference between a remote client copy and client export-import is that the later uses Transport Requests and the former doesnot.
