Click on Save ( ) and click on Activate ( ) twice. The authorization ZDATASET was created. Repeat the same steps for the authorizations ZDEVELOP and ZPROGRAM. All the authorizations must start with the letter Z or Y; this indicates that they are user defined authorizations. With the help of these authorizations we can restrict the user from using the T-Code. We can provide only display authorizations, or only change privileges and so on. To create the ZCODE authorization we should not give full authorizations. We need to provide only the T-Code SE38 (we are creating a profile for this T-Code only) and repeat the same process.

Disadvantages of Profiles o A Profile can have only 150 authorization objects. For the above profile only 4 authorization objects were added. o If the number of T-Code accesses increase then the number authorization objects also increase. o To overcome this disadvantage the Role concept was introduced. A Role can be defined as a Set of Profiles o We can also create User Menus for a user. The Menu will not contain the T-Codes that the User does not have access to

We need to fill in the following details: Client Enter a 3 digit number. E.g.123 City Bangalore Logical System Every client is associated with a logical system that is unique to it. A logical system can be created with T code SALE (SAP Application Link Enable) Client Role Production, Test, Quality or Development etc. Changes and Transports for Client-Specific Objects There are 4 options Indicator for changes without automatic recording This flag means that changes in the Customizing settings of the client are permitted. The changes are not automatically recorded in a change request. These settings can be exported from the client by manual creation of a transport request.

This variant can be used for pure test, training or demonstration clients Automatic recording of changes This flag means that changes are permitted in the customizing settings of the client and all the changes are automatically recorded in a change request. It is also possible to export independently of the automatic recording from the client customizing settings by manual creation or recording of a transport request. This variant can be used for customizing client and productive clients. No changes allowed This flag means that changes in the customizing settings of the client are not permitted (client lock). This variant can be used for productive clients, demonstration clients and training clients. Changes without automatic recording This flag means that changes are permitted in the customizing settings of the client. The changes are not automatically recorded in a change request. No manual transport of Customizing settings from the client is possible. This variant can be used for pure test clients. Cross Client Object Changes This feature controls in which clients you are allowed to maintain cross-client objects. There are 4 options Changes to the Repository and cross-client Customizing permitted There are no restrictions on the maintenance of cross-client objects for the client. Both cross-client Customizing objects and objects of the SAP Repository can be maintained. This the option by default No change to cross-client Customizing objects Cross-client customizing objects cannot be maintained in the client No change to Repository objects Objects of the SAP Repository cannot be maintained in the client. No change to cross-client Customizing objects Neither cross-client Customizing objects nor objects of the SAP Repository can be maintained in the client. Protection: client copier and comparison tools This flag can be used to prevent the current client from being overwritten by the client copy program or used as the basis for a client copy or Customizing comparison. There are 3 options Protection Level 0: No restriction Client can be overwritten by the client copy program Protection level 1: No overwriting Client cannot be overwritten by the client copy program. This setting should be used if the current client is a production client Protection level 2: No overwriting and no external availability Client is also protected against read access from another client (during a client copy or Customizing comparison). Restrictions when starting CATT and eCATT These are SAP testing tools. Most of the companies use other testing tools and hence they disable these. Protection against SAP Upgrade

By using this flag you can prevent the current client from being overwritten during an upgrade. If this flag is set, the client is no longer supplied with data during SAP upgrades. After an SAP upgrade, it is not possible to work actively in the client. The flag can only be set for a test client or an SAP reference client (Early Watch). Click on Save to create Client 123. The created client can be deleted by executing T-Code SCC5 by selecting the Client 123 row and click on Delete button ( automatically ). The client must also be deleted from T000 table if it is not deleted

Note: Once the client is created, it only contains the Master records. We need to perform client copy for it to work as a fully functional client. Client copy are of 3 types, they are: 1. Local client copy This copy can be performed if the source and target clients are on the same R/3 system 2. Remote client copy This copy can be performed if the clients are on two different R/3 systems but are on the same network. RFC concept is used for this client copy 3. Export and Import client copy This copy can be performed if the clients are on two different R/3 systems and also on different networks

Local Client Copy Perform copy from client 000 to User created client 123 SCC4: Create client (e.g. client 123) SCCL: Local client copy (Execute the T-Code in the newly created client) Log in to SAP system with client: 123, user id: SAP* and password: pass Execute T-Code SCCL. The below screen is displayed.

Enter Profile as: SAP_CUST and Source Client as 000 (Client from which the data is to be copied to the current client). Check the option Test Run and click on Enter. Test Run generates a report on time and space statistics. From this report we can determine which tables of the current client differ from that of the source client e.g. how many table entries were affected? For example, if we were to perform a Test Run right after copying the source client to the destination, 0 columns would be displayed in the Insert, Update and Delete columns. We could schedule client copy as a Background job ( immediately ( Click on Schedule as Background Job ( appears: ) or start it ). The following screen ). Client copies are usually scheduled as Background Jobs

We can specify the server in which we want to schedule this job. In our case we specify our system as the server and click on Schedule Job button ( button ( )The following screen appears: ) and click on Continue
