Client Import/Export
For large database, it is recommended to use client import/export instead of remote client
copy.
Scenario:-
Source Instance & client := PKT-300
Target Instance & client := DKM-202
This technique always starts with client export step.
Note: - You must have enough space in the /usr/sap/trans_SID file system to perform the
client export.
How to export client?;
Step 1) Log on to the target system(DKM). Create an entry for your new target client
using SCC4. Log on to the source system/source client(PKT).
Step 2)Before you import a Client you need to export.Export is nothing but transferring
data files and co-files from source system's database to target system's import buffer.Execute
T-code SCC8.
Step 3)
Select profile
Choose target system.
Step 4) Schedule the export in background
Step 5) Once the job is executed data files and co-files of profiles from PKT system's
database are transferred to DKM system's import buffer.Once we will import request in
DKM only then it will be reflected in a database of DKM system.
Depending on the chosen export profile there can be up to 3 transport requests created:
Request PKTKO00151 will hold the cross-client data,
Request PKTKT00151 will hold the client dependent data,
Request PKTKX00151 will also hold some client dependent data.
How to import the client?
Step 1) Log on to the newly created target client(DKM-202) using SAP* and password pass.
Step 2) Start the STMS_IMPORT transaction
As shown below, import queue will open
Step 2) Select the transport requests generated by client export .Import theses transport
requests on the target client.
The transport requests should be imported in the following sequence:
1. Request PKTKO00151
2. Request PKTKT00151
3. Request PKTKX00151
The system automatically detects these are client export transport requests and automatically
performs the import of the 3 requests.
The import logs can be seen in STMS_IMPORT.
Step 3) Post import phase:-
Once the import is done, execute SCC7 to perform the post client import actions,
Schedule the post import job in background.
Step 4) Import log will be available in SCC3. The Client is successfully imported.
