What is SAP System refresh?

        SAP System refresh is nothing but copying an SAP system data from source system to target another. Most of the time user want to test the real time scenario in Quality Server so some time interval we need to refresh the production data to Quality server. Before start the system refresh activity we need to do some pre refresh activity.

 Pre-refresh Activity:

Before performing system refresh, following steps need to be perform.

• Client settings (SCC4)
• Logon groups (SMLG)
• Processing groups (RZ12)
• AL11, SE03 and SM61
• Printer details (SPAD)
• Operation modes (RZ03, RZ04 and SM63)
• RFCs (SM59)
• Partner profiles (WE20) and ports (WE21)
• Logical systems (BD54)
• Services that are active (SICF)

This step is required because once the source system data is replaced in the target system, the user and authorization details of target system will be overwritten by source system user master. So, in case we need to retain target system user master, we have to take backup of the same using SCC8 tcode.
