Client:
Client is an independent business entity which has its own data. SAP provides a predefined client with default settings that are necessary to customize a company The default settings are defined by getting Business requirements from various customers Client is an field in DB represented by MANDT (MANDANT is nothing but client in German language) All the clients details are stored in T000 table We can create up to 1000 clients ranging from 000 to 999 (because client field contains 3 digits only) Right after installation of SAP, we will get some default clients, those are In IDES 800, 810, 811, 812, in Non IDES 000, 001, 066 000 client It is a default client provided by SAP. It consists of templates which can be customized according to customer requirements As this is a standard client, SAP recommends not to work/perform any customizing, but this is used to apply Support Packages, Patches, Language imports, correction transports & Notes This is to ensure that 000 is continuously updated and stands as a template for other clients in the system 001 client During the initial stages of SAP implementation, people use to customize 000 client 001 is created as a copy of 000 001 is a backup client of 000 and used to restore 000 in case of any changes But the purpose is completely deviated because 000 is continuously updated by applying support packages, Notes, Patches etc So 001 is outdated and cannot be used to restore unless we perform client compare & adjust settings from 000 to 001 066 client (Early watch client) It is used by SAP to logon to customer systems (yearly twice) and generate early watch reports This client is also used by SAP to recommend the fine tunings to optimize the performance of Production system When a client is created an entry in table T000 is created with a user sap* and password pass Logon to newly created client using the standard user sap* password pass Note: sap* does not exists in user master records, it is a kernel level user

Client Roles or Client Strategy:

The first client which needs to be created in the Development system is Master client / Golden client / Parent client / Customizing client This is the only client where the changes are performed in the complete landscape. The changes are performed in this client are carried forward to other clients in the Landscape.
Client type Golden Client [CUST]
Client-specific objects Automatic recording of changes are allowed Changes without automatic recording Changes allowed or No changes allowed No changes , No recording
Cross-client object changes Changes to Repository and cross-client Customizing allowed
Protection level
CATT & eCATT Restrictions
CATT & eCATT allowed
Sand box [SAND] Testing client [TEST] Quality testing [QTST] PreProduction [PRED]
No changes are allowed
No changes are allowed No changes are allowed
No changes , No recording
CATT & eCATT not allowed
Production [PROD]
No changes , No recording
CATT & eCATT not allowed
SAND box: It is used to perform Customizing by functional consultants The changes are not carried forward Developers are not allowed to work on this box, because they always work with customer or SAP repository objects Testing client: It is used to test the objects that are developed in CUST client The changes are carried forward using transaction SCC1, but the change request should not be released Client Administration 3 43gs4u@gmail.com
Quality testing: The changes which are performed either client specific, repository, cross-client are imported in to quality system to perform integration, consolidation, quality testing, stress, load testing Some functional data is loaded to test the scenarios This is only the client in the Landscape which signals the object movement into PROD If the object/changes is not approved it will not be moved further in the Landscape Training Client: It is used by the service provider to train the end users of the company Pre-Production & Production clients: Pre-Production is an environment where changes will be moved from quality before moving in to Production Mostly client-specific changes are moved Changes are not allowed in client specific, cross-client & repository, CATT It is highly protected and even eCATT is disabled Summary: It is recommended to perform changes in only one client and move them strategically in the landscape If not the system will be inconsistent with various versions By using this options version management is maintained in one system

When SAP is installed it comes in 3 layers
Client-Specific objects / Data Cross-client Data Repository objects Client-Specific Data: This data will be specific to that particular client Client specific data contains 1) User master data 2) Customizing data 3) Application data 4) Transaction data The client specific changes reflects only in that client Ex: PFCG, SU01
Cross-Client data: It has measurements, Time settings, calendars These objects will be accessed by all the clients If we modified Cross-client data it reflects in all clients Ex: SALE (Logical systems), SM59 (RFC Connections) Repository Objects: It has programs, function modules, screens etc Table TADIR is used to view the repository objects These are of SAP standard and by default all the objects are locked for editing (ex: TADIR, TSTC)
43gs4u@gmail.com
Client Creation:
As we cannot work with the default clients provided by SAP, we need to create our own clients and perform customizing We can create up to 1000 clients ranging from 000 to 999 (000, 001 and 066 are defaults clients) Login to the newly created clients with the user sap* and password pass
The settings of the client:

Client: Number of the client City: City of the client Logical system: Logical system of the client (naming convention is <SID>CLNT<client-number>) Std currency: currency of the country, which client belongs to (Ex: INR for Indian Rupees) Client Role: The type of work that is going to be performed on that client Given values are: Production Test Customizing Demo Training/Education SAP reference Changes and transports for client-specific objects: Given options are: Changes without automatic recording Automatic recording of changes (default value) No changes allowed Changes w/o automatic recording, no transports allowed Cross-client objects changes: This is used to set the client whether repository & cross-client objects can be changed Given options are: Changes to Repository and Cross-client customizing allowed (default value) No changes to Cross-client customizing objects No changes to Repository objects No changes to Repository and Cross-client customizing objects Protection: client copier and comparison tool It is used to set the properties for the client, whether client copy is allowed and client comparison is allowed Ex: the production system is not allowed for client copy and even client comparison Given options are: Protection level 0: No restriction (default value) Protection level 1: No overwriting Protection level 2: No overwriting, no external availability CATT and eCATT Restrictions: Computer Aided Testing Tool to upload the data into SAP system Given options are: eCATT and CATT Not allowed (default value) eCATT and CATT Allowed eCATT and CATT only allowed for Trusted RFC eCATT Allowed, but FUN/ABAP and CATT not allowed eCATT allowed, but FUN/ABAP and CATT only for Trusted RFC Restrictions: Locked due to client copy (by default it is deactivated) Protection against SAP upgrade
