Client Administration

1.A client is a commercially self-contained unit.

2.Technically each client is identified by a three-digit number,this number is used as a key in tables containing application data.

3.This type of table is said to be client-specific.

4.    In addition to client-specific table there are also cross-client tables,the contained in it is equally valid for all client.The content of these table affects the entire system.

Once a new client is created we can log in to it by SAP* user with password  pass,which defaultly comes as client is created.

The new client does not contain any client-specific data,and in particular it contains    no user data.

Now we do a client copy to get the necessary data to achieve its operability.

Client copies are of three different types,

                          1) Local client copy. (within the same system)

                          2) Remote client copy. (between the different systems, by RFC)

                          3) client transport. (between the different systems, by TMS)

To avoid the inconsistencies,no work should be done in either the target client or the

source client during the copy process.
