When adding a new client to a SAP system, the information listed in
the SCC4 can be confusing. This is a brief explain of the
available client restrictions.
Client role:
The category indicates the role of the client in your R/3
system.
Possible roles are:
* Production client
* Test client
* Training client
* Demo client
* Customizing client
* SAP reference client
This field should be maintained by the customer for
Documentary purposes. Release 3.0 also ensures the following:
If there is a productive client in the target system, no client copy (remote copy) which also selects cross-client customizing objects may be imported into the system. If cross-client settings are imported, inconsistencies may occur in all clients.
In a productive client, customizing settings that can be maintained as "current settings" can be excluded from a client lock or transport links; this means current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be maintained in a productive client without recording changes. SAP is planning to link further effective functionality to this flag, to enable adequate protection of a productive client in a system with further (test) clients.
Other settings for a client:
Change and transports for Client Dependent Objects
Changes without automatic recording – the client can be customized although the system will not generate change requests.
Automatic recoding of changes – the client can be customized and all changes are generated into change requests.
No changes allowed – no modifications can be made to the client – it is protected or locked. This is the usual configuration for a production client where customization should not be performed.
No transports allowed – changes are allowed but cannot be
transported.
Client-Independent Object Changes
Changes to repository and client-independent customizing allowed – no restrictions on this client for changes and development.
No changes to client-independent customizing objects - allows for development on repository objects but not client-independent customizing.
No changes to repository objects – lets users perform client-independent customizing but no development or modifications to repository objects.
No changes to repository and client-independent customizing objects – this setting prohibits any client-independent modifications and is common on Production systems.
