A sanbox box client is normally setup in the same system as the Development client. (Example SID DEV contains:

100- Customizing

200- unit testing

300- sandbox

It is used to create and test client specific customizations to see the impact and if they work fine, the same customization is re created in the Customizing client (DEV system).

1.Client independent customizations (example: Factory calendar settings) or Workbench changes (creation,modification of ABAP objects i.e the repository) is not done because this affects all clients in the system.

2. Also, no transport are allowed to be created form this client.

The way to guard aginst changes like in point 1 and 2 is done through the transaction SCC4:

In the option Changes & transports for client specific objects---the radio button --- no transports allowed is selected.

This solves the issue mentioned in point 1 as the system does not allow transports to be created (even manually). And since these changes are client specific, they do not effect any other client in the system (Example: the development [customizing client] client is insulated from such changes.

Comming to point number 2:

In SCC4 in the option for client independent object changes the option:

No changes to Repsitory and cross client customizing objects is selected.

This ensures that none of the Repository objects(ABAP objects) or the cross client customizing objects can be modified.

This way we have a safe operational client. The sandbox hence becomes a play client.

Sandbox (SAND)

The sandbox client a general test client, is initially created as a copy of the SAP reference client, but will be refreshed periodically with a copy of the customising/development testing client

The complete executable Model Company in this client is used for:

• Familiarisation

• Testing the applications

• Testing the customising functions

• Training purposes

The entire implementation team has access to this client for experimentation and education. This client will be used to test changes to essential structures, such as the number of company codes, and to ensure that these changes will work.

Hi,

Sandbox client is used for getting to know the system, trying out applications or testing customizing functions. It mainly used doing RND work. You can carry out client-specific customizing in this client. Changes done are not recorded in the transport request. Once you are sure of the configuration then repeat the same configuration in your development client.
