Administration: Client copy within same instance
As Basis administrator, performing local client copy would recommended to be execute by the user with
"SAP_ALL" authorization. The example below would be assuming the administrator with the access of the
ORACLE database as well.
Prerequisite before performing client copy to avoid data in-consistencies:
1) Lock all the users by using TCODE: SM04 (By single user) / SU10 (Mass users) or AL08
2) Suspended all background process with TCODE: SE38, enter "BTCTRNS1" and click the "execute
button"
3) Ensure hard disk space is sufficient Ex: using TCODE: DB02
Steps to perform local client copy:
1) Ensure the new client to be create is not in the system either using TCODE: SCC4 or from Oracle
database.
