Comparing Client Export step with Client Import step...

[Former Member]

Another question relating to Client Export and Import, here from the Production system to the QA System:

ie P01/700 --> QA/500

The Client Export created an RT* data file that is approx. 1.5 Gbytes.

I am currently importing the transport into the target client 500 on the QA system and so far the QA system has grown by 9 Gbytes and is still growing! (ie the import is still running!!).

Also, I didn't do a test client copy on the P01 system so I don't know exactly how big the copied client actually is.

What's really puzzling me is where the data being imported is coming from?...ie if it's the RT* file (which is only 1.5 Gbytes) then that's some compression ratio???

Anyone able to explain this to me?

Also, typically does the Import step take longer than the Export step?... if so by how much ie twice as long, three times as long? etc

Many thanks

Hi Sharon,

Could you confirm me which profile did you used for client export?

Also, cross check the size of the exported file!

1.5GB from a production system?!!!!!!

Th profile was SAP_ALL.

We have several clients on Production... this is actually a very small client. I am not in the main office so I cannot double check the filesize... but maybe I made a mistake when I checked the size of the R* file??? (I will check again when I get back)
