My upper management wants an explanation on why client copy takes so long about 10 days for 125Gb.
I have told them that SAP recommends doing a database copy which I can probably finish in about 24 hrs.
I told them that if I do a database copy from Production to our Development system we would look all clients (4 of them).
We would loose all version management, applied support packs and others.
I told them that client copy has to delete client and recreate client during a client copy. I also run client copy with 6 processes. I use the rrfc connection for the client copy since I do not have enought space to do a client transport ( i do not know if this is faster).
They have told me that other companies do client copy in 2-3 hours. I said that they must be using some third party software.
Please let me know how long does it take you to run a client copy and also if you have any other suggestions.
One abaper says that his old company could run a client copy in 3 hours (Mssql).
I told him to show me proof.
Does using MSsql or Oracle make that much of a difference.
Sorry for the long message
Thanks very much
Joe
