By : Mohd Ali

To do Remote client copy you need to use tcode  scc9

For Client export & Import  we use scc8 and scc7

For Export / Import:

Client Export:
1.  Run SCC8
2.  Select Profile for desired copy type (Usually All [SAP_ALL] or user master only [SAP_USER].  You will need direction from the requester as to the correct selection here.  Use Profile -> Display Profile to display profile details.)
3.  Select target System (or group)
4.  De- Select "Test Run" (If selected)
5.  Run Export
-  Up to 3 requests are created, depending on the data selected and available:
   1. "SIDKO00353" for transporting client-independent data, if you have selected this 
   2. "SIDKT00353" for transporting client-specific data 
   3. "SIDKX00353" for transporting client-specific texts, provided texts are available in this client 
6.Monitor TP logs for errors and export files for growth 

Client Import:
1. Create client (scc4)
2. Login to client (sap* - pass)
3. Manually add "O" transport then "X" then "T" to TMS buffer
4. Highlight #1 and use "Request -> Import" to launch import tool
5. Monitor "I" file in OS "/usr/sap/trans/tmp" dir for progress info
6. After Import is complete perform "post processing steps" from client tool (SCC7)

For Local or Remote Copy:

Client Import:
1. Create client (scc4)
2. Login to new client (sap* - pass)
3. Run SCCL (Local copy ) or SCC9 (remote copy) and complete the form as required
    -  Select Profile for desired copy type (Usually All [SAP_ALL] or user master only [SAP_USER].  You will need direction from the requester as to the correct selection here.  Use Profile -> Display Profile to display profile details.)
    -  Select RFC Destination to copy from for Remote copy, or Source client to copy from for Local copies
    -  Execute in background
4.       Monitor SCC3 for copy status
5.       After Import is complete perform "post processing steps" from menu in client tool (SCC7)

Post Client Create Checks:
