SAP server landscape

Client in SAP system as we know is the highest independent entity and it has its own Master and transactional data.

100,200,400 etc.normally we find 800 as IDES(International Demonstration and Evaluation system)

client are simply logical partition of server.Changes made to tables in one client has to be transported for it to effect on other clients like quality,production so forth.

what do we normally find in the project -Sandbox,Golden client,Testing,Production

The above all are just descriptions and will point to an application server- XXX.XX.XXX.XXX

Sandbox is for playing around .
Golden is configration only client and what does that imply -you simply do configration using SPRO TCD.We collect the Transport Request in one project.plz chk spro_admin TCD

Testing client-The changes made in Golden client and TR collected is transported using SCC1 TCD.All the config we did in Golden will reflect now in Testing client.

If there is another QA client we can test else after baseline config and Unit testing and integration testing the requests are moved to Production system.


Hope this is useful.
