Query Regarding SPAM

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a query regarding SPAM. Why is it necessary to login to client 000 to apply the support packages through SPAM.

Dear Subodh,

Client 000 is a reference client. Hence, you would need to use 000 to apply the support package so that it can affect other clients as well.

SAP Reference client (000)

All SAP tables are in the SAP Reference client. Sample entries, which you can change, exist for the tables in which you store your organizational structure.

The SAP Reference client contains the following settings:

Tables with default values

These tables are independent of the organization units.

Examples of the organization units

No application data, that is, no master data and no movement data

Do not use this client in production processing.

SAP updates the settings in each new release. As a result, client 000 always has the current status.

For a release upgrade, SAP automatically updates:

Table contents and table structures

Programs

Screens

Forms

SAP Reference IMG

You can use the SAP reference client to copy default settings into other clients.

You must not make the SAP Reference client productive.

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Naveen.
