Copying Clients Within a System Copy Profile

You can use copy profiles that make it easier for you to select and combine the components you want to copy. SAP delivers the following copy profiles in the table below. The customizing and application data is deleted in the target client before copying for all profiles except SAP_USER. This is technically unavoidable.

Copy profile overview (general)

Copy profile	Description
SAP_USER	Users, user roles and authorization profiles are copied. The client is not reset.
SAP_UONL	User without authorization profile and role
SAP_PROF	Only authorization profile and roles
SAP_CUST	Client-specific customizing including authorization profile is copied. The application data is deleted, the user data is retained.
SAP_CUSV	SAP_CUST with variants
SAP_UCUS	SAP_CUST with user master data
SAP_UCSV	SAP_UCUS with variants
SAP_ALL	All client data except change documents (see note 180949) and local data is copied.
