Maintaining Prd data in a Dev client - Is anyone actually doing this?

[Former Member]

Basis is being lobbied by our Development staff to maintain a full copy of current production data in a DEV client. We are not considering a system refresh of DEV but a sandbox refresh from PRD that would then be used as a source for a remote client copy into a DEV client. Our dev system is not broken in any way – it just doesn’t have the current data our developers want

This not a one shot request but would be a repeated procedure to keep fairly recent transactional data in the dev client. .

Question: Does anyone know of any Company doing something similar or do you have any experiences you would share?

I am also also interested in anyone who can speak to where this stands on a best practice vs. worst practice scale.

Hello Bill,

Following are few senarios practiced by several companies.

Senario 1:

Export production client data with profile (SAP_ALL)

Import the exported client data into Development client

Senario 2:

Refresh Quality system with Production database

Export newly refreshed quality system client

Import exported quality system client into development system

*Client export import is prefered to Remote client copy
